544789	2007-04-28 16:08:00	SJ, you sure have a lot of different subjects on your site ! At my age, DIFFERENT SUBJECTS means what color pills I take first, second, third . . etc . . . . I subscribe to four local papers via internet and I see some funny . . and arcane things from time to time . . so I share them with people all over . . . I have a fairly extensive network of people who share things back and forth . OK . . it's a gab-fest . . . but we have fun with it all . Including NZ in that mass mailing isn't a real option, so I cherry-pick a few things and send them here . You don't think I read all these things myself . . do you? BTW: What site do you mean?

No, by your site i meant the P C World one . Have just retired and learning about computers & keyboarding, not rushing things at the moment . Thank you for your reply .	BobM (1138)
544791	2007-04-29 19:05:00	Congrats on your retirement . . . . I too, am sorta that way . . . I got put out to pasture because of my osteoporosis and fractured pelvis and spine damage . . . Ah, well . . . . . we take what we get . . . You'll be amazed at how busy you'll be now that you're retired . I don't have the foggiest of how I worked AND got things like this done before I retired! "Friends ( . flawijn . be/pix/images/20060719092404_staring%20at%20the%20crowd . jpg" target="_blank">www . flawijn . be)" will ask you (since you ARE retired now and have LOTS of time) to help them in their quests and depending on what you did for a living . . . "Can you do that for me early (4AM or so) Saturday morning . . . . . for free?" will be normal . My advice: DO NOT BUY A PICKUP TRUCK ( . americandreamcars . com/1949studepkup070505 . jpg" target="_blank">www . americandreamcars . com) (lorry ( . istockphoto . com/file_thumbview_approve/2562459/2/istockphoto_2562459_semi_truck_at_a_truckstop . jpg" target="_blank">www1 . istockphoto . com) ) of any kind! "Good friends" will want you to help them move their piano collections ( . gorbysmusic . com/images/Image001 . jpg" target="_blank">www . gorbysmusic . com), their ex-wives ( . applesanity . com/fetish/jane_fonda/jane-fonda-mugshot . jpg" target="_blank">www . applesanity . com) and/or tow something ( . scheuerle . de/downloads/catwalk_yacht1 . jpg" target="_blank">www . scheuerle . de) for them . You will get calls at all hours of the day or night asking for "favors" . . . since you don't really have to sleep any more either . Take up a non-contact sport (fishing is my sport of choice) . . . if you should buy a boat, make sure it is a small one ( . nepva . org/images/BassFishing/MA2006/PNCharles06boat_1 . jpg" target="_blank">www . nepva . org) and won't allow more than one ( . abqtrib . com/albq/content/img/photos/2006/09/12/091206_seeing2_t600 . jpg" target="_blank">media . abqtrib . com) other person to accompany you in it . This gives you at least a 50/50 chance of doing or going where you want to . If you have three aboard, then your odds of getting what YOU want are cut down considerably . Don't forget . . . it's YOUR boat anyway!!!! PS: make sure the ride-along pays for some of the fuel or launching fees too . The above also applies to dinner engagements, nights out at the movies or any social activity at all . Never get outnumbered . . . ever! If your old trade was mechanical or physical in any way, try to limp and groan when you are around people who MIGHT ask for assistance with their car or fix their lawnmower or some small coal mining or pipe-laying job they need to do . Stand in front of a mirror and practice either a psycho-look ( . mheine . com/jpeg/gibson . jpeg" target="_blank">www . mheine . com) to scare people away from even asking for help, or a very pained expression ( . all-creatures . org/anex/monkey-chair-09 . jpg" target="_blank">www . all-creatures . org) that indicates you want to help . . . if only this bum (add physical part of choice here) will not give out and require hospitalization and a lawsuit if you get hurt helping them . Now is not the time to get lazy ( . davidlouisedelman . com/jump225/images/fatmanonchair . jpg" target="_blank">www . davidlouisedelman . com) and sit all day with a good book, a wife or dog and a fattening meal . . GET OUT and enjoy things you didn't before .	SurferJoe46 (51)
