Retirement is the time to explore and learn. Get with it people! Let's hear all the new , exciting things in your lives. Otherwise I guess I'll go back to giving advice to the teenagers. I do admit that your spelling and punctuation are better.

Hi Gma, I'm enjoying having free time to pursue things like blogging, my photoshop software, and more photography.
Hubby's growing a beard and painting.
I'm not sure about whether or not my life is new and exciting to anybody else but we love our lives.
We just had a wonderful Halloween.
Together we put up lots of light and decorations and really enjoy this particular holiday more than any other.
We're also planning on a trip over to the coast for Thanksgiving.
I'm autumlovr..........feel free to drop my blog..........

You're totally right AND totally wrong! Everyone defines their own retirement. So while it may be the time for you to explore and learn, your retirement rules only apply to you. Clearly, there are a lot of people who love the nostalgia trip.
If you think about it, it may be that you've been bored and required new and exciting things in your life as far back as you can remember. That really has nothing to do with the people on this site.

Well, I try to get through the day without doing anything that will put me in any more pain than than the pain I already have to endure. A young person might not have any empathy for this but anyone with some age on them knows that we have a difficult time with old injuries, joints (and I mean the bones kind of joints) snap crackle and pop... just getting your coffee cup to your lips in the morning can be a problem... so give us a break. I'd love to be out climbing mountains and running the rapids Now, I putz around in the garden, listen to the water fountain... enjoy the birds and a gentle breeze!

Obviously you have not spent much time here or you would have a different view of this site. What am I doing, well I'm extremely busy with my volunteer work, gardening, taking classes at the near by community college, spending time with family, and that's just the beginning.
Oh, don't let the screen door hit ya on the backside on the way out!

I have a family, take care of my pets, go to church activities, spend time with friends, go for walks, etc. However I do like to check in to see what's going on here. If you think it's boring you've obviously missed many of the posting, while you were giving advice. It's quite an intelligent, amusing, friendly group we have. I learn something new here everyday, but I have to be willing to listen. Nothing is ever learned if one is doing all the talking.

What I do with my time is cook, clean, do laundry, take care of my pets, surf the net, keep grandchildren, visit with my friends, continue writing a book, buy groceries and supplies, write letters to out of state friends, read, crochet, make quilts, read my Bible, pray, bake goodies for my family, go fishing, and go out with friends for dinner. I worked very hard raising a family, teaching school and later became a mental health professional. I took care of a sick husband till his death, raised a garden, taught Sunday School and volunteered for the Commission on Aging. I tutored and later home schooled a child. Now I am retired and physically disabled and I enjoy this website. I think it would be a great idea for you to go to a site that you find more attune to your liking. But what I do with my time is not boring. I love my life and am grateful for every day God gives me.

How to win friends and influence people, Don't forget to
give those words of wisdom to our world of teen agers, of
which we all were at one time, teenagers that is.
I am in wonder what you have learned and explored lately, you haven't said what makes your life so exciting, so how are we to know. Are you the grade keeper of spelling and
punctuation, I find your crit, very humorous, who cares what
you think of others, Better start thinking about what you think of your self.

I think we are pretty much doing what you are right now. Waisting our time on the computer. Actually two months ago I received a "Doctor of Metaphysics." Something I started working on in 1956. I'm still glowing. That and ten times what I paid in 1956 will get me a cup of coffee. Don't you just love progress? Thanks for the opportunity to toot my horn again. Oh yes, I have to include this, I'm 79,

Yep. Go wherever you want. "Whatever blows your hair away "(a South African coloqual statement)". I'm glad you have the time to meticously check our spelling and puntuation. You must have a lot of time on your hands?
We know more than, I think you will learn in a life time. Hope the spell check is working.

What? Obviously you are entitled to your views, but I am certainly learning a lot today & I am having ever so much fun doing so! I do other things in between all of these seemingly silly things that you classify as "boring"! I classify them as typing skills! Like a cross word puzzle of sorts! I'll talk to anybody...even you!
I think old people are better spellers because when we got into trouble, our teachers made us write things over & over until we no longer had to think about how to spell it...we simply KNEW how to spell it because it was burned into our brains after 100 times of writing it over & over & over again!
