I keep forgetting that i am 5 hours ahead of everyone else.....and that you may all have jobs ,unlike me...but its comforting to see more names than just poor old me.....

Only 4 out from me (I think)  ;)

What does it feel like to not have to drag your ass to work every day?? I'm too old for this and 7,8, 9 day stretches are killing me real fast.

Just had to google that!  Quite the variations......I'm sure we've all heard at least one of them.  Now I know how it originated!  ;)

I might not have to drag my ass to work every day....but i,ve got to drag the wife,s ass every day,and i,ve got another 15 years of it,as she,s 12 years my junior.. and she can,t drive...and anyway i did all my ass dragging for 45 years...and what did it get me "apart from the nice house new car,big boys toys"...it got me buggered knees,arthritic fingers type 2 diabetes,....as for the rest, i love life and long may it continue..
The one good thing that come,s from dragging her ass to work,is I get to be the boss of the house,..that is until i have to go and drag her ass back....then she,s the boss....and i become the manservant again.... ;D

I,ll tell you this...i watched my father work until he was 70...he never took holidays.was never on a plane,or a train...all he did was eat work sleep,..then for the last 7 years of his life...he watched paint dry...he had no hobbies nothing...then he died....I vowed never to end up like that,I worked hard for 40 odd years,..had good holidays, saw some of the world...met a good woman when i was 50...she was 38....i retired at 58...i,m 62.now,...and since coming on here my brain has had a new lease of life and as each day passes,...i look forward to speaking to you all....even although some of you think I speak a foreign language...no names mentioned :D

Now that I understand!   :D

Believe me, when you grow up with family that is half Irish and half Scottish descent and the majority of those still spoke the Gaelic.........you can at times recall a lot of the 'good old tongue'. Mind you, the swear words were the ones to last longest in the memory banks. ;)
