Hello all! As my moniker suggests I am retired. Living the easy life and loving every minute of it.

Married 37 years to the same wonderful woman and the only puzzling thing about that is why she has put up with me all these years.

I love my family, church, friends and hobbies which include:

Target shooting, US military firearms and bayonets, reloading all my favorite calibers, driving the greatest sportscar ever created the Karmanm built, Mercedes Benz parted Chrysler Crossfire. Oh, and did I mention living the easy life?

I enjoy debating politics and keeping it civil and respectful.

See you on the site!! :smile:

Welcome TiredRetired. What a coincidence, I drive one o' them funky Crossfires myself.

Great bunch here. Likable and a bit nutty, but fun and usually civil.

I am told to watch out for Muleman and Rusty.

Just sayin.

Gee thanx for the warm welcome guys. I love people that keep working so my SS check is there for me. Just heard on the news we get a 3.5% cost of living increase. Oh happy day. :clap:

muleman · Oct 18, 2011

Yep! They take from Rusty to redistribute to us! :yum:

Of course they have helped themselves to a hell of a lot more than 3.5% from my 401K's and other plans! :hammer:

I like Rusty already and I have not had the pleasure to meet him yet. :clap:

Now that is redistribution of wealth I can relate to. I think I'm gonna like it here. :biggrin:

Welcome. Just what we need, another old, retired fart. :yum:

Join the club.

The political debates on here usually start out civil and respectful and the mods do try to keep it that way, but it can get heated.

Old farts are in demand, didn't you know that?

I know when to say when. :biggrin:

It is much better to side with the Rust than with the Mule. You have made a wise choice, my friend. Stick by me, and you will go far! :clap:

No problemo with that, but you can call me Lollie, Loralei or Lora, if you wish.
I am all of those names/people to a lot of people, depending on who you are.
