Can't we separate out the photos from the exercise stuff, as this thread is getting awfully bloated and all over the place. There is probably a photography forum somewhere on CD where the plethora of photos would be more appropriate. I get the "let's appreciate life" aspect but.....

I know, I don't have to open the thread. But the retirement threads are definitely losing their focus.

Hush! My covert, dastardly plan is taking shape nicely transforming this forum to Facebook for Geezers.

Sorry, but no you many not change the format of this thread. Start your own thread if you want something else. I created this thread to serve several specific functions, including daily exercise journal and daily photos. I also created it to be a monthly thread and would like it to stay that way. I do not appreciate other people trying to turn the thread I created into something else. Period.

ps. This particular thread was for June--if you want to be part of the current discussion please join the rest of us in the July Everyday Life thread. //www.city-data.com/forum/retir...ly-2013-a.html

I agree with this assessment - this thread is a vanity piece - definitely blog material - not "retirement."

What if we all started such threads?

Think about it.
