ok i will start

[db-2]

retire on 1/1/02.
started a post on that.
Have found over the two months that for my life style and that means being able to puchase a gun or two if i want or some other kind of small toy i will need:
$5500 per month and that will enable us to save a penny or two now and then.
No debt
Put a budget together and on Monday take $400 cash out and if we do not purchase anything it last and sometimes a buck of two left over. Sometimes I am short as when I bought a camera for $625 and went on a two week trip with the wife this past month.
My body and mind is starting to adjust to not going to the job I enjoy and look forward to each day.

But 2400 had a thread on no drinking and if the drinkers want to comment start there own tread.
Now I do commend all of you that are working on that and i think it is great. Best of luck and keep with it.

I just have not found something that i have estalbish as a goal in my life or change other than riding my motor scooter with training wheels this summer. Hopefully Dodge City this summer to see Miss Kitty.

AT 5'10' and 225#s, age73 doc said the cholesterol is find, blood pressure is find, only problem is junk does not work and prostate decided to grow. No pills yet and enjoy looking at the women you put on 2400. I do have a problem remembering names.

There is no diet in my future and will continue to drink old mill. Drank since i was a teenager. Never consider i had a problem but then i would maybe be the last to know. I think the wife has a bigger problem than I have. But that keeps her happy and content. Meat (steaks) and potatoes are 90% of my diet along with peas or corn and a bunch of milk.
So whatever works for one keep at it and enjoy. One does not have to answer to anyone when one reaches my age (well may be God) db

Pretty much the same boat except do have a couple ball-point springs in my heart. Otherwise in pretty good health and do take some heart meds to keep cholesterol in check. Have started exercising after being pretty lazy before Christmas. Try to walk about 3 miles per day. No desire to quit the occasional beer. Supposed to watch the red meat I eat so I do keep a pretty close eye on a good steak while it's on the grill. Work the occasional odd job and use the extra income for a toy I need. So far I have had enough to live the life-style I had become accustomed to while I was gainfully employed. Enjoying life and hope to continue the enjoyment.

retire on 1/1/02. started a post on that.

OK I will ask. Did you retire 18 years ago on 1/1/2002 or 2 months ago on 2020?

 

[LBrandt]

At my age 71 1/2 I have decided to do what makes ME HAPPY and maybe the wife too. Clock is ticking and getting closer to winding down. Live, laugh, and love for tomorrow is not promised.

 

[db-2]

yea 2020, maybe do have a problem or two coming up on me. db

After receiving compliments on my spelling under new wheels I did go back on my first comment and corrected all the misspell words. no/yes

 

[BrokenBackJack]

Not a problem DB, as we have all been down this trail before too. Since my last stroke what i am thinking and trying to type doesn't always come out as planned. Think one word or thought and type another.
I just keep calling myself "Dumb Ass" out loud. My bride just has to laugh at me as she says i must be having another conversation with myself!
When she says or does something wrong i just tell her she pulled a "Johnny".

 

[Ristorapper]

You talk about walnut (prostate) problems. I have a situation that happened to slow the progression of my drinking problem, if in fact there was one (as every man would say).

We used to put cases and cases of beer away on weekends overseas in the service (korea) to keep ourselves entertained and occupied and out of trouble. Didn't think a 13 month stint could turn a person into an alcoholic but if I wasn't, was damn close. Stateside and ditto. Deer hunting, softball, fishing, 5 years of college/college hockey, all activities included beer... Damn near cost me my marriage with three children under 10 before I pulled my head out of my ass.

And then the fix. THE PERMANENT FIX so far. I'm meeting some friends over at the weigh-in at the broken oar for the Big Muddy about 4-5, maybe 6 years ago. First three beers go down pretty easy on a warm spring afternoon. Go to the restroom with a full bladder; can't pee. My first experienc out of nowhere with an enlarged prostate, so they told me. Put a fix to my drinking days. But it is with any liquid now. I've got it down so I only sleep 6 hours a night so no middle of the night wakeups.

What is it they say; "Three things to remember as you get old; Never pass up a bathroom. Never waste a hard-on. And never trust a fart.- Jack Nicholson.

 

[Ristorapper]

Damn, I couldn't get to sleep after posting the above. I think maybe my neighbor and the wife might be in cahoots with my drinking problem. Let me explain.

Was it 4-5, maybe 6 years ago (see above post) that this son of a bitch moved into the neighborhood. Coincidience? He's an RPN (reg. practical nurse). He works for/with a urologist at one of the hospitals. My wife and him are both in the medical field. They talk alot, all professional it seems when i listen in, about the medical field. Anyway is it possible that these two come up with some kind of concoction that will make my prostate swell up and stay that way so I can't have more than a couple drinks???? That bastage!!!! I came up with this a bit ago after posting the above post and couldn't get to sleep over the thought of it. How do I prove it???

Speaking of urologists. Are they the low scum of the earth like I tend to think they are. Sorry, you may think I don't like my neighbor. I don't.. Long story about him putting fence right down the property line/pouring concrete apron onto my/city property and being a urologist helper. Bastage. Anyway.

Now I have appointments with urologists because of this 'not being able to empty my bladder' bullshit. First urologist I go to seems like a descent enough older guy. The usual PSA test followed by a follow up and drugs. Next appointment maybe another year later, the urologist I had no longer in town. New guy and who the hell out of complete stangers do you pick to look at you dick/prostate???? My wife, like I say is in the medical field (retired now). Her profession was medical transcription. She of course types dictation from doctors within her hospital so she has to have some recommendations. One is from the Middle east and the other is new, a doc my wife says is jewish, from New York. I flip a coin and the little doctor not named Muhammad wins. (You know better than that, no coin flip was involved).

This little bastage with a nose bigger than my dick has the gall to ask me if I'm circumcised or not. Fuckin' idiot. Let me explain. Everytime I ever remember having an appointment with a male doctor knowing he is gonnna be looking at the family jewels, Harley likes to disappear. I sit there for two weeks knowing full well i have an appointment with a urologist and every day that appointment gets closer, my dick gets smaller and smaller and gone!! Which reminds me. Urologists. They are perfectly capable to study the female anatomy as well as the male anatomy and become a gynocologist just as easily as a urologist???? Aren't they? What the fuck makes them want to look at weiners the rest of their lives. That's what gives me the heebie jeebies about all this man wanting to look at my package. IT's embarassing or at least uncomfortable. Hell, my frickin' neighbor talking to my wife, I can't stand it. I can't stand him looking at me, sizing me up or whatever urologists do???? Uncomfortable. I gotta sneak away when we talk to him. Let the wife talk to him. Damn those two are in Cahoots. They have to had planned this. Bastages

Anyway little big nose Jew man urologist wants me back to see my weiner again after medication in two weeks. Discovers another oddity with jewels and orders an ultrasound of left (Hello) testicle area. WHAT the F??? I told that little bastage that I was born with that, my little german family doctor (could never understand his english, real German) told me all about it when I was doing sport physicals all my jr. high and high school life. So more appointments with another complete stranger not only handling my junk but rubbing jelly on it and taking pictures I suppose for the doctor to look at.

I walk into the examing room and have a male gonna do the ultrasound. FAWK!!! Please God have some mercy. That exam took all of 7-8 minutes, felt like and hour. He asked me when I had my penis removed? NO! No! he didn't, just kidding. Harley just shrinks away cause he don't like guys looking at him.

Little Jew asked if I had any children and he was suprised I did because of the huge vericose veins in the left (hello) sack. Nothing wrong with the right (goodbye) sack. I said yes Doc, I have three wonderful children and its all a fault of a fellow urologist of yours, because he told me I'd be sterile with that monster in the left sack. "Why didn't you quit after one," he said??? FUCK YOU!!!!

I hate urologists. I've had this problem (emptying bladder) ongoing now for 5-6 years and just deal with it. Medical schools should demand all urologists be female as well as their helpers and all gynocologists be female as well as their helpers (my wife's opinion). I'd be making a hell of a lot more appointments trying to get a solution to this problem. I failed to mention little Jew wanted me to come in and have a flow/velocity test done as well. I told that little bastard I don't have a flow problem during your working hours. The flow problem is when I have to piss at 6am when you are not open. Why don't they listen. I think he just wanted to drum up more business for the hospital. I think he was gone within the year.

Did I say I hate urologists? They are like psychologists. Here one day and gone the next and I think it is because of the work they do; most of 'em anyway.

 

[guywhofishes]

lol - I thought you quit drinking?

 

[Captain Ahab]

I feel like I know you a bit better for some reason, Risto.

 

[shorthairman]

I think this is the most I have laughed in quite some time...by the way Risto...I'm on your side!

[db-2]

The couple of times I got check it tended to grow but then I got lucky with the lady who check me out.

But no, one knows the sack on the left is bigger as ones heart is on the left side. db

 

[Ristorapper]

I feel like I know you a bit better for some reason, Risto.

that was written more to entertain than for you to get to know me.

And of course I need to appologize for using the term little Jew (and he was maybe 5' 6'' with a big nose btw). Sorry if I offended anyone.

 

[johnr]

Thanks
mrs johnr is a motivated working woman. She loves working. I will be retiring in 12 yrs, she will work for at least 20 more. Turns out that is just fine with me.
I have had several colonoscopies, but the front side so far so good
