Bite your tongue! I worked for sixty years and I’m not going to work any more, dammit. Stop assuming everyone wants to work ‘till they drop in their tracks. My great grandpa was found dead behind a mule, at eighty seven. You think that’s a good thing? You must be out of your mind.

I think you missed the word “encouraging” in my post.

No one should be forced to work at heavy physical labor beyond a reasonable time. Both of my parents changed work, my mother at 55 and my dad at 65.

My work involves a fair amount of physical effort and I’m already exploring with my employer ways of modifying the job so I can continue past 75 when there’s a reasonable possiblility that I won’t be able to keep up.
