Alpo......?

**hunter63** · 10-10-2014, 04:33 PM

Just got back from the store.....was asked to pick up a couple of things......and showed up at the check out with :

6 cans of Alpo dog food....Choice Beef Cuts with Gravy
1 big bag of Tater Tots....Original Recipe
2 bottles of "Barefoot" Red Moscato Wine.

Lady behind the counter (I know her pretty well) and I were kinda talking......
The lady behind me was looking at my purchases.....with a strange look on her face.

So I said, "Yeah we are gonna try a new recipe, saw it on Rachael Ray Senior Addition...... "Alpo beef with Garvy, casserole w/Tater Tots"

"And of course we like a little wine with the meal....being beef it should be red..."

I paid and walked out....as she was still kinda white looking.....

You know it actually sounded pretty good....and I'm still laughing about it.

I like being retired.

Most stores today have a better selection of pet foods than of canned vegetables.

And being retired is fantastic!!

Me and a couple of friends had one whole section of a restaurant fired up with our political ranting the other day. We just about had our own succession movement started.

One of the waitresses asked if we were not worried about upsetting someone?

I told her we quit worrying about upsetting some wuss or political correctness when we qualified for the senior discount!

I don't know, guys. Being retired is pretty tough. I wake up, log on, go back to napping, wake up, log on. You'd think someone could develop some way for me to log on without having to wake up from a perfectly good nap.

I've also determined I have the makings of a serial killer. If I ever find out where those @#$#@ are that cold call me I swear I will kill everyone of them just to eradicate the herd.

16 more years...sounds like a prison sentence...

I'm willing to bet that I will never get to retire. Got about 10 more years and don't see it happening.
Can't get out of my industry fast enough and let the know-it-all kids take over.

Most self employed plumbers never retire. A lot of the fellas I know still go to the office and they're in their seventies, not by choice. I will never encourage my kids to become plumbers or tinknockers.

My special form of retirement - 1/2 the day scooping alpaca/llama poop and the other half trying to remember what I did.

**hunter63** · 10-27-2014, 09:16 PM

So Ok...been raking leaves......try for two bags a day minimum....My tree about empty...several others need to drop.

Postman stops and we talk sometimes.....so he stopped and ask if it was the first bag or second bag....Guess he kinda know me.
I was on the second and was ready to head in for a nap and he says...."You know the worst part about retirement....you never get a day off"......But everyday is Saturday.

Then he was lamenting his bad knees for walking all those years, before driving truck.....and the fact that many people retire and can't do much anymore.

Was telling me, his friends keep saying they are gonna do this or that "when they retire".......The best advice is do what you want to do now....while you still can.

Oh yeah.......Micky "D"s, small vanilla cone.....50 cents......
I like retirement.

By the time I reach the current retirement age, the retirement age will be moved to 120 years of age......... and no social security, either.

**Rick** · 10-28-2014, 06:40 AM

Look at the bright side. At least you'll be able to live that long. (pups, snicker)

Just remember, after retirement comes that senior period of your life where you have your second childhood. Yep, going back to diapers and bedwetting ain't all its cracked up to be !

**Tokwan** · 10-29-2014, 09:02 PM

Nothing but Royale Canine for my pets.

Waiting on Dirty Old Man status....Not old enough I guess.........so far still a "pig"....LOL

When my kids had kids I told them to practice and do a good job on changing those diapers. They'd have to change mine some day. I think that required Pepto Bismol for their dinner.
