deacon6347Amado, Arizona USA10 Threads 757 Poststhis thread is kind of selective..for those of us retired...how do you occupy your time?? lately i've been turning dead tree branches into hand made canes and walking sticks which I donate to the Veterans Home here where I live. Each one is different and unique, and gives me a sense of accomplishment, will most likely tire of it soon and move to something else. SO, WHAT DO YA'LL DO??

I read,write and fish.Any of those alone could be a full-time obsession.
Of the lot Reading seems the more general occupation just because it's so easy to take up-no investment other than your time.

Excellent! Good man............. let me know which charity and I'll see what I can do to help in a lazy, non-physical but maybe financial way.
People who give of their TIME are the best.

Retirement is a full-time job. I'm always soooo busy. I cannot understand how I did find time to go to work?
Read, do crosswords, walk, swim (during summer), take pictures, work on the pictures with Photoshop, answer a lot of e-mails, write many letters to people who don't have PC, clean, shop, cook, wash dishes, wash clothes, iron, have a glass of wine with friends, spend too much time on CS Forums, play with my cat, help organise a get-together party etc. Now I have to start packing bc I move in 3 weeks.
Pfffffffff, I'm exhausted.

patmac: SSAFA bud.
I had a boss once in Celle, West Germany.
They came to check him out; he'd been a naughty boy (the unit Paymaster).
He holed up with a SSAFA sister until they done gone!
Single Soldiers and Families Association?
'whatever' - I'll help........... next month as I am spending way too much on 'goodies' lately; spent more so far this month than I normally spend in a year!
Heck, I could die tomorrow!

For health reasons I don't get out too much. I lay around a lot, spend a lot of time on the computer and little by little I'm fixing up what used to be a storeroom into a big bedroom.
A project for the near future is to reinstall recording software and do some multitrack music recording.

I shall indeed! Thank you..........
I always remember my dad had a really nice simple can walking stick from Uganda.
I broke his favourite walking stick on the back of a vicious dobermann in the Congo who was attacking my puppy...... a German Shepherd called 'Simba'.
