    Thumbs up

    Hey Will, What did the expression "Been nice chatting with ya,ll these years, so take care,..." mean? No internet at home?? Can't imagine you being off line. Sorry to hear about the shoulder. Tell Joan to baby you more 'than usual' during your recovery! From one old f**t to another do the P.T. exercises, you will be better than you ever expected. Glad you are joining the ranks of us retirees! I sent you a private message some time ago did you get it?

    Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you, Joan and your wonderful family.

    Riiiiight!

    I retired too, it lasted two years before I was ready to scream in boredom. Find a good hobby and don't lose touch.

    Will,

    Retirement has been the best job I ever had - so take it from me and go enjoy, I'm sure you have earned it. So all your posts have been on company time, huh?

    Wow, that really does mean his bark is bigger than his bite! Give him our regards. But, tell him to get off his duff and have some adventures... after all... you're retired now!

    Ouch! Sorry about your shoulder. Take care of that.

    Sounds like you will be busier retired to the farm than playing on the internet at work all day.

    Congratulations Will.

    Take some time off and enjoy anything you like.

    I have been retired for a year now and am so busy that I am wondering how I ever had time to work. Later Jerry
