Nice :)
Is thus retirement community humor?
My wife and I must be the only ones to cook around here because we've set the fire alarm off a couple of times. We always get asked "why were you cooking in the first place?"
The community is full of Amazon vans, FedEx, UPS and food delivery trucks.
My parents would bring me to stay with my grandparents over Christmas break. That cemetery was cold.
They don’t let you drink in those places.
Not too long ago, the granddaughters stayed over, and I let the little one, who was 4, stay up a little “late”. When she went to say good-night to her sister, the older sister asked why she was up so late, and the little one said, “because Grammy is stupid.” Well, you can bet she’s not stayed up late at our house since then, and I did give her a little speech the next morning about how I was trying to do something nice for her and did not want to be called stupid, and it hurt my feelings..... Luckily, then are very sweet and well behaved, and never give us any trouble.
I’m retarded and I have a golf cart but we don’t live in a retardment home. We live on 8 acres. BTW, I recommend the golf cart highly. We call it a toodle e doo
According to CNN, because of Biden, everyone that can is retarding early
Works best in the south.
This letter describes life perfectly here at Sun City Hilton Head. What it doesn’t say is that there is a significant minority of grannies and grandpas who really hate having kids around. This is especially noticeable at the pools. Kids are allowed at only certain pools on a rotating basis. I’ve seen old women demand that kids leave.
Easy to relate to this. I loved it.
Wonderful!
My dad would always tell people he was retarded from the Army after 20 years. I first him say that almost 50 years ago.
I rescued my father from a “retardment” center. He spent the last year of his life with his son, daughter-in-law, and grandsons. It was a priceless time for all of us.
Retirement living seems empty and self absorbed to me. I want to be around for my kids and have my grandkids visit without cranky neighbors complaining about the noise (I might, but I don’t want strangers to!).
No little old men in doll houses telling my or my family who can come in and out! Life is to be lived with family, with people you have spent decades building relationships with, not strangers who got the apartment next door just because they are of similar age to you.
Can you go full retardment when you are 65?
It's now January 2022. That Fat Bob has 20,000 additional miles on the odometer. I'm 65 now. Do I want a golf cart? Nope. A used 2015 Suzuki DR650SE (bush pig) is my lightweight choice for travel. The big V-twins are ready for road trips. The thumpers, Yamaha SR400 and Suzuki DR650SE, are ready for short trips. The Kawasaki Versys is still in the stable for canyon carving.
I have a classmate who bought a nice house in a retirement community. Behind her backyard is a golf course. She has time to enjoy the "house beautiful" life with all of the French provincial style she prefers. New neighbors and a social life with people of similar age. I'm not ready to switch gears that hard. Forty years of software development has kept me pretty disciplined on time management.
My aunt and uncle moved to one of those places. I went to visit once not long after they moved in. When I arrived I had to call from the front gate.
My aunt answered and I said “I didn’t live in a prison.”
My uncle is dead now but my mom and her husband live in the retardedment community.
I’m old enough now to think that it’s a pretty cool place.
That sounds like this White House now...
