My parents have been retired now since about 1993, cant stand being home so they travel 9 months out of the year. They might be in Maine during the summer one year and Florida in the winter or like this year working the summer for the EPA in Alabama then working for Costco selling nuts where ever they send them through the winter. They need new stimulation more than most teens. At 70 it seems life is always new, talking to them is like talking with kids, always a new adventure. They would rather be in their bus than their home any day. I find it amazing how easy it is for them. They are visiting my brother now, just out from a job in DC where they were compensated $2000 for a 6 day gig, they will be headed home in the morning and will visit me on Wednesday then off to where ever. When they want it Costco pays them around $52,000 a year to be sample people plus expenses, Gas, living expenses to travel including travel parks or resorts. Last winter they were in 5 locations in Florida having a blast. For me it is so great talking on the phone with them and always having something new to talk about.
Me I know I would never be happy being lazy, I think I would love to be involved helping disaster victims or anything where I was needed. Who knows but it would be so cool to be that pumped at their age.

Oh, good, it IS retired!

At first I read it as "retarded" and thought it was up my alley...

Well, to my defense, I've never seen the topic phrased like your title...

Actually you know what would be cool?

If some morning when I come on here to post, the two of you are gone.
What movie was that?
I love happy endings and I can't think of two more deserving people.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I and most likely Sifu, too, will be here to bug ya forever!

Even if something changes in my personal life, I stare at a PC all day for a living.

Well Sierra, as ungay as I am I would be hopping a freighter to diddle that mans brain if I were in your shoes. And if I were in his shoes I think I'd show up on your door step with no more than a lick and a promise. Pun Intended!

But if all goes awry I'll still welcome the morning banter.....Deal?
