I just don't think the "f" suggestion has a place in someone's retirement thread. IMO, it was in poor taste.It was funny, lighten up a little bit
Congratulations on your retirement - well deserved and certainly earned.I am retiring after 42 years as a Medical Laboratory Scientist, the last 22 years as the Administrative Director. My time fishing will dramatically increase. I will have the opportunity to explore many new streams.

This is why I work. I lack the energy to retire.I have been so busy since retiring a few years back that I don't know how I ever had time to work before.
I retired after getting laid off just short of 59.5. You would think I might say that, but they did me such a huge favor that I found it very difficult hiding my happiness. Trust me; I was smiling on the inside. One co-worker even asked to volunteer to take my place, but I told him not to. I guess I hid my joy quite well. I even stayed friends with my boss for a couple months until he got laid off. Ok, we stayed in touch until he found another job in California. That was going on 5 years ago.Tell everyone f off.
But now you have endless time to give support to your wife.I retired after getting laid off just short of 59.5.

Little did I know that a few months later, my wife would start having health issues which persist off and on to this day. Needless to say, I haven't been able to enjoy retirement. It almost makes me wish I was still working.
Almost, but not quite.
Enjoy your retirement, early and often.
