Share this one with all the retirees that you know. I'm sure they can relate to some of them! AND, If you have not yet retired, look what you have to look forward to.

you pretty much got them all correct Rick. My biggest regret to retirement is that I didn't do it 25 years ago.

The only thing I hate about retirement is you no longer get week-end's and holiday's off like you did when you worked :lol:

My thoughts exactly :!: :!:

The biggest question I have about retirement (which is the state of being Independantly Poor and No Longer Required to Work for a Living) and working, is where did I ever find the time to actually have a PAYING JOB :!: :?: :wink: :shock: :lol: :lol:

Retirement is the pits. The wife's to do list is more than I can accomplish between naps, coffee breaks, vacations, fishing and working on antique tractors. :lol:

I've been thinking about sending the wife back to work to give me a break. I though about it for a while - until I figured out that all of the household chores would be added to my to do list. :cry:

yup, I know how that goes. During the school term I do most of the house work. I look forward to summer break as much as any kid does. :lol:
