The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Wandered off to Liverpool airport to see what was happening. Very excited to see several cars on the road round the back - all with cameras and some with aircraft radios - I thought something must be happening
So I asked - apparently it looked like a nice day so a group of them just decided to come down and hope something unexpected happens. Sometime a military plane comes round and does and approach or a few circuits - but it is not normally announced in advance!

But today nothing was expected - from the look of them they just wanted to get out of the house!!

Anyway - on the way home I spotted this buzzard (I think) soaring over some fields and trees

Definitely a buzzard.....very graceful. One of my favourite birds.

MrsD has had the date for her mastectomy......27th of this month. I am trying to APPEAR positive but she is scared and I do feel sorry for her.

Nah....he's only got the cheapo one.

I saw one quite a few years ago parked up at the side of the ferry approach road in Studland.
It was like a hotel on wheels.

Talking of breasts (is that allowed on here ??)
A woman was telling us today that her 18 year old daughter has had breast reduction.
Difficult to get my brain around this but she was size 8 generally but with a 48" bust.
People make jokes about such things but, seriously, life must have been awful for the poor girl.
Apparently she is living a normal life now.

 

[Dave7]

Oh yes.....we had our 2nd (pfizer) jab and I hardly cried at all

Lollipop and badge?

Is that the sort where the sides expand hydraulically?

We have friends in the States who own one of these. It's called a "fifth wheel" though I don't know why.

They have a full size tractor unit which couples up like an HGV picks up an articulated trailer. Park up, press buttons, sides go out and, I think, roof goes up.

Apparently these things are so big some campsites (camping????) can't physically accommodate them.

Bonkers. Totally bonkers!

Lollipop and badge?

Had mine at 11 am Just another sticker noting I had my second jab

Now 5 30 pm Feeling drowsy and chilled Hope it doesn’t get any worse

Just a stick on badge.

I saw a girl the other day who was running with large breasts and they must be beating her chest into a pulp, just image if it was like that (down below) for a man

Doc phoned. Blood work came back ok, so I don't need to go into hospital, which is a relief. She's given me a list of symptoms, and if any occur over the weekend I'm to go straight to A&E.

8 days until I go in for an exploratory procedure, whereupon i should discover if its bad but fixable, bad and not fixable but manageable, or bad and I should find a priest.

Sorry to be a bit cryptic, but I don't want to cry wolf and I don't want to worry friends on here (and i do have a couple, although I have to pay them!) unnecessarily. Just over a week and I hope to be abe to give you all a proper explanation. As of right here and now im a bit uncomfortable, tired and a bit run down feeling, but im in decent spirits.

But that IS my problem.
I strap it to my leg with duct tape.

I used to know someone very similar. She told me that she got terrible backache from the weight pulling her forward. I don't know what became of her - we lost touch about 40 years ago.

Good luck with it!

Do you bend the end back on itself, or just put up with standing on it from time to time?
