Decorum please :laughing:What is an Australian kiss.?
Same as a French kiss,........but 'downunder'
Have to enjoy life... Humor is always welcome...
There are too many people that dwell on complaining, they are best ignored.
I will always try to find something to ... at least smile about. :smile:KennyV
Happiness is being Retired,every day is a holiday!...russ
Being retired is hell.
Worn out and useless :thumbdown:nothing but downhill from there on :tongue:
The best years of yer life are behind ye
A fleeing Taliban, desperate for water, was plodding through the Afghan desert when he saw something far off in the distance.
Hoping to find water, he hurried toward the oasis, only to find a little old Jewish man at a small stand, selling ties.
The Taliban asked, "Do you have water?"
The Jewish man replied, "I have no water. Would you like to buy a tie? They are only $5."
The Taliban shouted, "Idiot! I do not need an over-priced tie. I need water! I should kill you, but I must find water first!"
"OK," said the old Jewish man, "It does not matter that you do not want to buy a tie and that you hate me. I will show you that I am bigger than that. If you continue over that hill to the east for about two miles, you will find a lovely restaurant.
It has all the ice cold water you need.
Shalom."
Cursing, the Taliban staggered away over the hill Several hours later he staggered back, almost dead & said,
"Your f****ing brother won't let me in without a tie!"

Sooo..... i am my own boss (farmer)never needed to drive cause i live at my work,i call all shots everyday,no employees either.
Does that mean for me i have to go work as a employee for some outfit in order to be "retired" :laughing:
What does it mean to "Retire"
What do you "retired" guys do all day besides mowing your 5 square foot lawn and yap on this forum :confused2:
Just wait, Give it a little time you young whipper snapperSorry you feel that way, been retired since late 2002, just turned 60 last week, and I still feel great and all my parts and plumbing still work.

That would be big enough to start a goat farm.:wink:"5 foot square lawn.....???" I have to mow 5 acres of lawn.

The clue is in the word "Retired" - I.E. A person who is done with work and is taking life easy (or at least I would be).Sooo..... i am my own boss (farmer)never needed to drive cause i live at my work,i call all shots everyday,no employees either.

JD I'm 55, been a mechanic all my life mostly heavy equipment. Every day I wake up and something
else hurts. Getting stiffer too but I keep at it. Just hope I see retirement.:smile:

....cubby
Somebody give this guy a drum roll, please! :laughing:I'll give you humor. My fiance slapping me in the back of the head when she asked me what I was doing on the computer and I told her I was here checking out the Hustler and Snapper forum.

JD, I give you and your wife a lot of credit , you set your goals and met them. Today its so hard to save but thats another story for later on. I don't mind working the next ten years until I retire but like you I hope to have everything paid off when I do. Although I don't have the options you did I will have a pension and a annuity. My wife hasn't worked in 10 yrs because of health issues so its taking us just a bit longer. Again my hats off to both of you.:thumbsup:....cubbyWife and I worked for the state here, usual retirement deal is 30 years of service at age 55, back in 1997 and 2002 they had early retirement deals where if your age and years of service equaled 80 (like 50 years old with 30 years in) they gave you retirement with a pension bonus. When they offered the one in '97 neither of us qualified but we began working as much OT as possible and investing a large part of our pay in the hopes they would offer another early out deal down the road, and when they did in 2002 we both qualified and because of all the saving and sacrificing we did over 5 years we could afford to leave.
BTW for my 31 years with the state I was a truck driver/delivery man/warehouseman/mover/carpenter/handyman who did heavy work much of the day and I got used to hurting so even at my age I am just used to it.
::licking::biggrin::laughing::thumbsup:Two couples were playing poker one evening. Jim accidentally dropped some
cards on the floor. When he bent down under the table to pick them up, he
noticed Les's wife, Sue, wasn't wearing any underwear under her dress!
Shocked by this, Jim upon trying to sit back up again, hit his head on the
table and emerged red-faced.
Later, Jim went to the kitchen to get some refreshments. Les's wife
followed and asked, 'Did you see anything you liked under there?'
Surprised by her boldness, Jim admitted that, well indeed he did. She said,
'Well, you can have it but it will cost you $500.'
After taking a minute or two to assess the financial and moral costs of
this offer, Jim confirmed that he is interested.
Sue told him that since her husband Les played golf Friday afternoons and
Jim didn't, Jim should be at her house around 2PM Friday afternoon.
When Friday rolled around, Jim showed up at Les's house at 2PM sharp and
after paying Sue the agreed sum of $500 - they went to the bedroom, and
closed their transaction, as agreed.
Jim quickly dressed and left.
As usual, Les came home from golf at 6pm. And upon arriving, asked his
wife: 'Did Jim come by the house this afternoon?'
With a lump in her throat Sue answered 糎hy yes, he did stop by for a few
minutes this afternoon.' Her heart nearly skipped a beat when her husband
curtly asked, 'And did he give you $500?'
Sue, using her best poker face, replied 糎ell, yes, in fact he did give me
$500?
Les, with a satisfied look on his face, surprised his wife by saying, 'He
came by the golf club this morning and borrowed $500 from me. He promised
he'd stop by our house this afternoon on his way home and pay me back.'
Now THAT, my friends, is a poker player ....
thats so funny and true i always draw a blank when i want to tell a joke i will think of them when i have no one to tell them to anyone have that problem.:confused2:A 3 yr old boy is examening his little testicles while having a bath and asks his mother..'Mommy, are these my brains?
"Not yet".. She replies.
:laughing: Good one! :thumbsup:When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed but somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the truck, the car, playing golf, always something more important to me.
Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point.
When I arrived home one day I found her seated in the tall grass busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house. I was gone only a minute and when I came out again I handed her a toothbrush.
I said, "When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway."
The doctors say I will walk again but I will always have a limp.
