Well, that's great news. Congratulations. Seems like it's been
a year or two away for 5 years now.

Get well soon!

Retirement is soooo much better than anyone tells you it is.
Congratulations on being "almost there".

I'm not keeping track of this very well, but I think you have me beat
by 10 days. WooHoo! I can hardly wait!

Get well soon. If you were a city worker around here, we'd assume you
had the Useitup flu since they no longer get paid for their sick days
when they retire.

What is this, the slacker thread? Who gave you all permission to
retire at the same time????

Hehe 26 years, US Navy. Will have to work still of course, but it will be
different and have a retirement income already.

It beats the hell out of working. It is hard for me to believe that it
almost 5 years since I retired. I have been having a great time.

It's the same here, but no, I'm coughing and sneezing. Every full-time
person at work has called in sick today except for the supervisor.

Sounds like my place, except the bosses are the first ones to call in
sick. I used to worry, but then found out I rarely pick up whatever
they are hacking and hocking around the shop. Thank you Mom and Dad
for a good immune system.

I 'semi-retired' in '90 (at 33yo), and fully retired in '02 but still do
some 'work' to keep the boredom at bay :-)

That will be ceasing in about 2 years, from where I will, once again,
start wetting a line (fishing) and doing things that seem to take second
place as of late.

More travel is on the agenda.

(Only a couple of weeks to go before we're back in Malaysia again :-)
