I was born in Reno, spent the first five years of my life in Alaska, then the next 12 in the heart of the Rockies. After that, I’ve been “all over” and experienced more winter than I ever thought I wanted to.

With my age and the arthritis, I’m happiest with dry heat. (Too much participation in sports, I think: softball, basketball, volleyball, swimming, hiking, horseback riding...WALKING!)

[NicknamedBob]

That seemed like somewhat of a Spartan comment.

One prepares for a proper retirement by doing much less of all that.

[Tax-chick]

Uh-huh.

[Monkey Face]

Perhaps, but at least I have something to retire FROM, which a lot of couch potatoes don’t have. I mean, how can you retire from being lazy?

Oh. My bad. The Late Igor. When he “retired” he said he had all day to do nothing and when he got tired of doing nothing, he could lie down and take a nap. His retirement was nearly the death of me! LOL!

That's me, Bob. I am so ready for retirement, I just need a bit more scratch in the bank....

[NicknamedBob]

I changed careers instead. I like to think I’m a writer, but there’s no retirement from that.

You’ll know I’ve retired from writing when all the letters start being the same.

[Monkey Face]

You mean, like the chain letters I get so often? If I paid attention to them, I would be homeless, deaf, blind, with kidney failure, and cancer of the entire organ system.

So yah, Bob...I’ll wait... *bwahahahahaha*

[Cyber Liberty]

I don’t have enough scratch for changing careers yet. I was thinking I’d like to be a greeter at Wal-Mart. I have a friend at work who took a part-time job as a cocktail waitress just for the hoot of it. She didn’t need the money, it was just a fun way to meet people. The isolation of the lab was a little too much, I guess.

I thought she was insane. Nutty as a mad hatter.

[fanfan]

Grrr.
My son’s female dog is in heat, and our male dog hasn’t SHUT UP in days! Whine, Whine, Whine, Whine,....every few seconds.
And it’s -17F!

Anyone else feeling like a crazed popsicle?

[Monkey Face]

The only crazed popsicle is your dog’s offending appendage...

*choke*

*sorry, I couldn’t hold it back...*

I am off to have a discussion about life and the pursuit of solidified glowbull warmthing with my olde Deere..

By the time I got out there today the wind had rearranged some of the solidified glowbull warmthing so that some places had only a 2" covering and other spots were drifted to over a foot.

When the ancient Deere is running properly it still takes two and a half hours to relocate all the glowbull warmthing that coats the drive at 26" at-a-time bites. And it was 7° out there...

[ColdOne]

yikes.....I feel for ya!!

If you have the dough, I highly recommend an awd ATV with a plow. Much faster and then you can tow the grandkids in a sled.

[fanfan]

*Snort*

I wondered about that yesterday morning. It was -20F. I was worried it would break off.

[fanfan]

Thanks. For the dog, or the cold?

[NoCmpromiz]

f you have the dough, I highly recommend an awd ATV with a plow.

Project for summer when there is less demand for plowthings... Ofcourse, the atv part might never be 'on sale'..

I picked up the ancient Deere on ebay maybe seven years ago. Wonder what the odds are that I could find the atv/plow combo.. (within retrieval distance of course.. ;-)

"I don’t have enough scratch for changing careers yet."

Some of us discover our career changes arriving when our employers determine that our obsolete job skills don't warrant their continued support.

[fanfan]

I like your hat.

[fanfan]

Has that happened to you?
