    you say '42nd wedding anniversary', but we hear 'she's chained naked in the basement and pooping in a bucket for 42 years'.

    I went to work one day in a very excited mood. Everyone asked why I was so excited and I told them that I only had sex once a year. Once a year? they exclaimed. Why are you excited about that? Tonight's the night. Tonight's the night I retorted in a loud voice.

    By the way, this November will be 40 for me. I think she deserves something special after four decades so I'm ordering the jumbo side of fries with her Big Mac on our special day.

    Retirement sounds awesome. My dad loves to work, but he keeps talking about retiring and just spending as much of his time as possible with my kids, and traveling, and traveling with my kids lol.

    It is awesome! Being retired doesn't mean stop working ..it just means you work when you want at whatever you want... like Marz built his boat..I have many interests and hobbies. ...If you're done chasin' the dollar, it's a blast...you want to go fishing, you just go fishing....want to see the grandkids...just go see them. I'm busier now than when I had a job. Kids are all raised, home paid for, just going with the flow...finally really get to enjoy Oregon and take the time doing it. Wife and I just got a pair of kayaks to start paddling around the rivers with.

    He owns a few businesses and is the CFO of a couple others and also spends a lot of time investing. From his conversations with me if he retires he would sell off all the businesses I dont want, and make room for others, he has a lot of people who his companies employ and in his word view it would be irresponsible for him to only work part time and make decisions that could cost people their jobs. He’s kind of slowly making the transition by hiring guys and grooming them to take his place. I just think in his mind he’s worried that he’ll end up being bored, he’s one of those guys that has worked really hard his whole life.

    I think my girls getting older and my brother dying last year has really made him start thinking about how he can make sure he pours his life into his family instead of his work.

    He’s got very bad eyesight too, so he cant drive and I think he’s scared he’ll end up just moping around his house as me and his grandkids forget about him. We wont, but I get it, its gonna be hard for him to strike a balance.

    Anyways this is not my family history thread this is oldmangrouch’s anniversary thread, he’s been married much longer than Ive been alive heh. :)

    The key to this is not being overly defined about yourself....learn a language...do things outside the box of decades of routine...a lot of numbers crunchers volunteer to help seniors with taxes and things...volunteer at a library running a book sale...etc...learn to play the piano.learn salsa dancing..learn to golf...endless. Catch up on reading great literature. My daughter in laws father retired just after I did...we're the same age. He was worried about getting bored but six months into his retirement he's found a girlfriend, traveled to Mexico, done a ton of stuff....he told me, I was right...it wasn't something to worry about anymore

    Im sure he’ll figure it out. I would find it absolutely hilarious if he found a new girlfriend though, my mom would beat the crap out of him. :biglaugh:

    Thanks a lot. I was thinking about taking me wife out dancing but now you make me feel like staying home and taking a nap in my rocking chair while I drool all over my beer stained t-shirt.

    Did you notice what I noticed? Spending your father's time and going on vacations with him does not include you. Uh oh. This means your kids are more appealing than you are. Double uh oh.
