I think I had more energy before retirement. I don't know how I used to be able to fit so many activities into my days on top of w*rk. My non-w*rking and non-sleeping hours were filled with things to do and places to go to. I was younger then, so I didn't get as tired. I am less stressed now though.

To live my best life, I do whatever tickles my fancy. This week, I have some pickleball drills and games set up. Went to a musical last night with DH. Will be going to a Japanese restaurant for lunch with a friend tomorrow. Another outing (restaurant) Friday night after pickleball.

It must have been great running into people who knew you and helped you! And you must be so relieved with your wife's surgery outcome! And I'm happy to hear that you're becoming more and more mobile! Great news overall!! Thank you for sharing!

I had some "obligations" for a few years after retirement, but not as much as you mentioned. I have nothing now and I like it. You should give it a try and see if you like it. I cannot imagine any other way at this point.

Well, it started out good. I thought it was a spy drama, but it's more like a relationship drama with spy elements...

I've just finished Season 2 of Outer Range. Things get weirder and weirder but I like shows like this. Great acting for sure.

If they had done that for you? I mean, she HAD TO bring a fresh burger in this case, right? It wasn't a favour. She didn't make up for anything. She did absolutely the minimum she was required to do. And evidently, the apology wasn't part of the requirement. Giving any tip in this situation...

I've just started watching Mr. & Mrs. Smith on NETFLIX. So far so good.

I play group sports. I really enjoy them, so I'm not particularly doing it for health. When all the group sports stopped during the lockdown, my step count on my Fitbit decreased drastically and I hardly ever got into the fat-burning zone. I have a feeling the lockdown affected a lot of people...

I have a friend like that with ovarian cancer. Surgeon went into remove fibroids and found ovarian cancer. It's been at least 40 years since then and she's doing fine. Another lucky one.

Me, too! The ending was not great for sure, but it was binge-watch-worthy. (Some things are not meant to be watched in pieces every week.)

Why is your gym membership so expensive ($4715)? Does it include the initiation fee or do you pay that every month? What do you get for it?

My fitness spend was around $250 USD per month last year. No club membership or equipment fee (except for balls/shoes/paddles, etc) but I played in a bunch of volleyball leagues, tournaments and drop-ins. I will be spending much more this year (triple?) as I am fully transitioning to pickleball...

Great job on your migration! Thank you for all the hard work! With the old system, when I typed early-retirement.org on my browser, the default screen that came up was a new post screen. It now brings up the main forum screen. Any way to change my default portal screen to new posts, like we had...

I know, right? I was getting an early-retirement.org withdrawal, and I'm so happy that we're back! (I didn't realize I relied on this site so much for my daily entertainment. :LOL:)
