Can't help but think you should have applied for unemployment and given the whole nine yards of info at the hearing that would have transpired.

It's still up for consideration, caliotter, but I do believe I am ready, as I said before, to shake the dust of Rightway Insane Asylum from my sandals and ease it on down the road!

Well, as I see it, you could have a case, but as you see it, why bother. I can’t say that I’m happy slogging around with employers. I would retire, retire in a heartbeat if I could.

CONGRATS on your retirement! Man, that must feel good...

That cartoon was altruistic... loved it!!

[VivaLasViejas, ASN, RN]

As many members here may know, my "retirement" at age 55 was not necessarily voluntary, but it happened and I'm glad to be out of the rat race. But I didn't really feel retired until I put my nursing license in Retired status last year, which made me realize that my career really was over. It was kind of sad, because nursing was a huge portion of my life for over 20 years. And now people are talking about bringing back retired nurses to help with the patient loads due to COVID-19. (But I've been out for six years and they don't want anyone who's been out for more than three.) Wishing you every happiness, Davey! Enjoy!

I was eligible for SS on my 62nd birthday, over a year ago. The fact that I would be making money without working was sinking in. Granted, it would not be enough to comfortably live on, but I've lived on less and have had to scrape to get by, but I knew it was doable.

"Imagine that", I said to myself, "not having to go to work!"

I drew this cartoon one week after I turned 62:

I gave it a total of 57 weeks before I decided that I needed to retire!

Congratulations! Looks like you're a Tigers fan!

Well, 2BS, actually back in the '80's, I was a fan of baseball. And Magnum PI.

My first and last names start with the letter "D", so Detroit's seemed like a fitting cap to wear.

The closest National League team is the St. Louis Cardinals, so I followed them predominantly. And living in Illinois, the Cubs were the next team I closely followed.

In 1985, I did, however, drive to Kansas City to watch the 1984 American League East champion Blue Jays play the 1984 American League East champion Tigers.

I played some ball, too.

Although I never was really any good at it:

Good timing. Very good timing. Congratulations DaveyDo on your retirement!

WOW!, look at you, not only a fan of Tom but you look exactly like him!!

Well I guess if you are yelling "hike" during a baseball game then no you weren't good at were you LOL. But you are a good artist!

Thanks for the compliment, Daisy. Yeah, if Tom Selleck was only a Detroit cap and a mustache, I'd look exactly like him!

And today's Ear Worm comes from R.E.M.!

CONGRATS Davey! *starts doing the running man dance* (OK, I'm too old for that but pretend I'm doing it anyway ?)
