But I seem to be getting pulled into doing so through work more and more.

It's exciting yet terrifying at the same time.

I've heard stories from my boss and others about when a fire turns quickly, gets fanned by new winds, and suddenly it's not 3-20 kilometres away, it's exploding on top of you... and you can't survive getting out of the machinery... you must stay in... unless it's definitely on fire.

Every day is new exciting... lol

I'll retiring sometime in the near future Frood.

But I don't mind working for fun after that.

Just fer pleasure 'n leisure.

I know a number of men who still have to work at menial jobs in their 70s cuz they had kids late in life they still have to support. That must be hard on 'em watching others relax while they still have to do grunt work, and probably will for the rest of their lives.

Squat, shudder in various levels of ecstasies, and squeeze around a good hard man, Jojo...

I have been retired for years, Senile JOEJ.

And I have not been pissing and moaning about the cost of houses....ever.
