The Old Folks Home

[ronott1]

Another one that happened to me was one winter while I was still in my 30s, I was out shoveling my parent's drive way for them and suddenly three teenagers baring shovels came up to me and told me to take a break, they were going to finish my driveway for me. When I thanked them and offered to pay them they said 'No Ma'am, our mom would kill us if we didn' stop and help an old person out'. I mean geesh, come on guys I was only in my late 30s at the time.

I also started feeling old when all of my doctors were youngr than I am. Now I feel lucky if I can find one that is about the same age and still practicing.

Rain/storms here this morning but we got our girl home. She didn't perk up until we pulled into the driveway then it was like "OH! HOME! LET ME OUT OF THE CAR!"

@drumstickdiva, you are still a kid!

We do feel much older sometimes.
I hope the puppy recovers quickly!

At some point it might be better to have one that is younger. Don't want to have to hunt up a new GP every couple of years as they retire.

She had likely been thinking "what is the next place of torture are they taking me now?"

I am glad the pup is happy to be home even better your mindset of not being a puppy mill you saved them from

Yes if I was younger I would love to start a rescue and call it Dingo's Haven. DH pointed out that if we did that the Amish would just breed more dogs and then try to sell them to us.

Unfortunately probably true.

I'm just laying around here today, watching movies. Sid is doing well. She is curled up with her brothers and sister sleeping. It's still raining so a nap sounds like a plan to me.

I had a nap today, and it is really nice out right now. Need to get ready to go to the swap tomorrow.

Hello, all you old folks!

I just stumbled across this thread. I'm retiring next week and turning 66 next month, so I figured I'd stop by and see what excitement everybody is getting up to.

I got chicks in April as my retirement project. So far, the project has been a big one for DH, who vetoed every coop I tried to buy and insisted that, against his will, he is building it himself.

He's almost done, grumbling all the way.

I have 2 buff orps (Big Bird and Little Bird), a Black Australorp (currently named Blackbird, as she was named "White Butt" early on by DH, but is completely black now. I warned him.), and a GL Wyandotte named Callie. They keep me laughing. They are 8 weeks and can't wait for their coop to be finished!

My other retirement plans include gardening (flowers and vegetables) and cleaning up the mess of a too-busy life (e.g., cartons and cartons of paperwork and - stuff). I still have some freelance work I can do, but I'm tempted to finish what I have and quit.

So, do I qualify? Can I join you?
