    I had to retire at 62 for health reasons. I just turned 71 and my health is the best it has ever been. Work related? Congratulations. May you have many happy productive years!

  20. Well congratulations however this was/is your first mistake. Rule # 1 NEVER EVER tell anyone that you are retired. Don't ask how I know as I'm still working 24/7 well maybe not quite 24 but 7 fer sur. Lie if ya have to. Pack your lunch box/bag & sneak your fishing gear or what ever you like doing & disappear til supper time.
    I ain't talkin no mor too many eyes & ears.
