- March 18, 2015, 07:01:38 AMAge is a strange thing, over here they have raised the retirement age from 65 to 68 for men, women used to retire at 60, I don't know what theirs is now, this means that you can't claim your old age pension until you reach retirement age..
Ok so here's the thing.
You are born at 0 years of age.
You are old and retire at 68 years of age..
So all you old buggers who think you are middle aged, think again.
The middle of 0 and 68 is 34, so at 34 years old you are middle aged..
Anyone over middle age is old.
Sorry about that, but should you bother to get out of bed tomorrow, you don't have as much time left as you thought you did.

- March 17, 2015, 23:02:10 PMI am retired too. I finally admitted it at the first of the year. I will be 62 in July and I haven't been looking for a job for over a year. I kept thinking I would find something to do, but in truth, I haven't been even looking at the Want Ads or Craigslist for over a year.
I like it. A bunch.

Lots to do when you retire.

- March 16, 2015, 10:49:33 AMWell today at 0915 I officially became like Troll, DC, Bake, and a few others, I was deemed old, I have hung up my uniform for the last time.....well actually I turned in my last uniform and whatever to Supply and now I have to find an honest job, after 42+ years I have been put to pasture and retired. So I am going to relax find something I want to do and spend the summer riding once I figure out how to make money to support myself. I see a few rides to Lacrosse and Richwood to kill some time.....so on that note time to go and tweak my bike some more and hope the snow melts soon......
