now I am feeling old

dave54 · Jan 23, 2016

Just received a facebook post from a former coworker. I recruited her just out of high school, trained and mentored her.

Just announced her retirement in two months.

I retired when I saw some of my earlier projects displayed in the local museum http://www.rvforum.net/SMF_forum/Smileys/default/shocked.gif

Happened to me too and I'm relatively young. A kid I mentored in HS and just after HS just announced his retirement sometime after March. How'd he get so old.

I am the youngest of 5 kids and was the first to "retire" after 20 years in the Army. 5 Years layer, I'm in my second job/career and the other still ain't retired. They better hurry cause I hope to "fully" retire in about another 10 years....

I bet I make them feel old!

I just found out that my friend's kid that was born after I retired, just made Chief.

That probably have been better duty than a Bosun.

At least Bosuns got plenty of fresh air!

On Noah's ark, that would be a much desired job. ;D

Reagan was president when I retired.

Just before I retired, I was sitting in the office with a colleague, whom I didn't know very well. She said, "When did you graduate from dental school?" "1971," I replied. "Oh," she said, "before I was born." I told her, "You could have gone all day without saying that." "Sorry," she said,"I didn't realize I said that out loud."

Growing old doesn't have to mean growing up.

My wife retired from teaching.
Some of her former students are now grandparents....

RoyM · Jan 26, 2016

I graduated from high school in 1967, a couple of class mates are now great grandparents. Yikes!!!

That is when they pay you not to go to work. Pretty good deal.

I wish I could laugh my A$$ off, but I think it fell off a while back.

OLD? Well I did come in second when bidding for building the ARK. Noah cut corners to get the winning bid.

Actually, some of my student pilots of years gone by have retired from airline jobs, now we just sit on the porch squeaking our rocking chairs.

Cheers
