We will see waht the next day brings. Wish me luck! Whelen. Well we're Green and we're Gold, and we play better when it's cold. All us Cheese heads have our favorite superstar. We love Brett Favre.

Could go the first of March, but decided to give it another year. On the other hand, two bad days in a row, and who knows <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />? Congratulations...I've seldom met anyone who regretted retiring...enjoy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />. "The more you run over a dead cat, the flatter it gets."

Could have been out every week...but there's good reasons for my decision <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />. Guess I'll have to bug you on weekends <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. "The more you run over a dead cat, the flatter it gets."

I go to the southwest every winter. A lot of people from MI here, think about becoming a snowbird! The only think that bothers me about being retired " Is that Conservatives look on as you as being on some type of welfare!" When you get on SS it is even worse! You are a burdon on society & business, therefore you should take cuts on your health insurance & other benefits!! But hey that's only my option! You will love retirement! Shut off the TV & do something!!

Make plans and set some realistic goals--like hunting trips with your Whelen <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I've got six years in and wouldn't think of going back to work. Enjoy. WN 'Tis far better to walk alone than to follow a crowd going the wrong way.

W7ACT Campfire Outfitter Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 7,589 WA State the other WA	I did it at 51 in '91 after the VA said I was 100% Disabled and haven't looked back since have enjoyed every minute of it and n ow I can't even think how I found time to go to work as I'm so busy with my various projects. My Brother did the same thing in '99 at the age of 57 after 27 years in the Navy and another 10-15 years Navy Civil Service retiring at NAS Pax River, selling his home at Hollywood,MD and moved lock, stock and barrel out here about 3/10's of a mile from me and hasn't looked back either. He and his bride of Forty years bought an Safari Trek and are very busy spending their two boy's inheritance enjoying life to the fullest. de 73's Archie - W7ACT
