Got to admit that as retirement was approaching I was focused entirely on the date, no thoughts whatsoever on what was going to happen after. Nearly 50 years working and now it’s just not there. Still got that ‘extended holiday’ feeling but, yeah, there has to be some kind of structure eventually. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried it for a year and couldn't hack it. My mistake was going from 60-hour weeks to zero hour weeks. I went back to work and am now back at 60 hour weeks but I will wind that down as and when (or if and when) I start to approach 65. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennett Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Good news for Alert Mongoose. A study has found that staring at busty women can lengthen your lifespan, according to a group of German scientists. An article published in the New England Journal of Medicine concluded that looking at a woman’s breasts for just a few minutes a day may be better for your health than going to the gym. Author Dr Karen Weatherby, who is an expert in ageing, wrote: “Just 10 minutes of looking at the charms of well-endowed females is equivalent to a 30-minute aerobics work-out.” The doctor’s research team spent five years monitoring the effects of the unique discovery. The men who were told to stare at bosoms daily were found to have lower blood pressure and a slower resting pulse rate. The study’s findings also established a decreased risk of coronary artery disease. Dr Weatherby explained: "Sexual excitement gets the heart pumping and improves blood circulation. "There's no question - gazing at large breasts makes men healthier." She also recommends that men over 40 should spend at least 10 minutes daily admiring breasts size D-cup or larger 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My advice would be walking (for exercise), lying about (for bodily relaxation), reading/listening to music (for mental relaxation), scrabble or equivalent (for mental acuity), and drinking wine (no explanation required). I am 21 months into retirement and feel at times that I’m becoming zombified and that I’d like to be doing something meaningful again but then I remember the stress of working… Pretty solid. While I am in a large urban/suburban sprawl, I do find that a wander (mostly by car around here) off to look around a newish (to me area) area is a very nice distraction. Spent $12 last week on a regional transit pass and then spent 6 hours riding light rail and wandering downtown a bit…quite amusing… 1 hour ago, bennett said: Good news for Alert Mongoose.

Was certainly good for my health. Edited October 14, 2023 by TxRover 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
