I can’t even boil water but love watching the BBQ Pit Brothers on YouTube cook. It’s great. So I’m looking forward to some day getting a bbq grill and some private space to do some of that cooking myself.

Some of my friends have a point about RVs you can lose the taxes and roam the country, but you lose that permanent address and the kids aren’t around

Perfection would be pulling up in the RV and invading them for the Holidays LOL

ROFL!!

Freepers, we're sharing an inside joke. This is an expression used by the Pit Brothers cook on almost every clip.

Thanks, my man. The past 18 months have been total stress for completely personal crap of the volunteer variety. In January I plan on taking a week long solitary road trip to unwind and get “my mind right, boss”. Then maybe I can relax and get back on the keyboard and type something other than FR posts.

**Caution**

When I lost my permanent US address I lost my health insurance as well.

we moved back to my husband’s native Philippines. He helped run the rice farm (supervising harvests etc) and I sat around baby sitting my granddaughter.

What you do depends if you are healthy or not.

I've lost it all. But things will be remedied since I'm returning soon to stay. (God willing!)

Wow, did not think that was possible. I know some people thinking about living on a houseboat for a few years...Wonder how that would affect them?!?!

I moved to Thailand had a daughter (she is 4 now). No better time to have a child then when you are retired and can enjoy them.

Is she eligible to run in 2048?

Had sex all day with my 30 year old Ukrainian ex model paramour while we do winters at St Bart’s and Paris and snowy summers on the South Island

It a hard life and I can pretend that’s my retirement all I want

I’ll never retire

Like sleep

When I’m dead

This has been one of the best threads on FR in a while. I have really enjoyed reading what you all are doing or plan to do. Some good advice too. I garden and do outside chores in the warm months. I craft and do ebay too. Some craft items (I make real patchwork quilts and crocheted bedpreads and rugs for dollhouses). Also resell and have downsized many collectibles I had (if they are small items and won’t be too much to ship). Also had a couple of barn sales early on and taken tons to Goodwill. It feels good to ‘let go’ of stuff and lighten the load. I try and read more and just keep busy and with variety.
