Congratulations!!!

I am envious of anyone who can retire.

My funeral will have to be in the afternoon as I will probably be working that morning.

Congratulations Vendor! Enjoy! Kick back, relax for a bit, then GET TO WORK!!!

Myself, I stumbled across the retirement line just over a year ago, and I cannot believe I ever had time to go to work before... There is an even longer "honey-do" list than before!...

That is something I just can not understand. If I ever had a chance to retire, I would probably be more busy than I am now. The difference is that I would be busy doing the stuff I want to do, when I want to do them.

A lot of folks here stay on at work if they can or find another job. The 60+ age group are looked upon as more reliable than the young, that is too say they will get up in the morning.

You may be able to go down in time to 'feel 'of unemployment.
