Buck Member Registered: 01/17/03 Posts: 11208	I retired back in 2000. Lots of time to figure out the rules. My wife is a nurse and hospice care giver and I do a lot of volunteer work. That keeps her very busy so we both have many interests. We have a full basement divided into her sewing area and my workshop. I have a home office in a former bedroom and work space in the garage. She manages projects in the house, I manage the outside. You need to find ways to support each other and not get in each others way.

JMike Member Registered: 02/08/06 Posts: 654	I needed to read this. Been retired about 2 years, wife a couple years longer. A few months after I retired, a friend of mine (a bit older, retired longer)asked me in his boisterous voice if the wife was ready to throw me out yet. I thought he was kidding..... Reminds me of a comment I heard on a radio show a few years back: Men have 2 choices, be lonely or be miserable. No in between. Getting adjusted to being retired is taking longer than getting adjusted to being married. Whew...…...

Last week I was recuperating from surgery and she ended up home with an illness for the whole week. My tournament buddy used to have a saying. They will have you picking pepper out of birdshit. He's not joking. By the end of the week I was searching for tweezers.

Don P Member Registered: 05/03/07 Posts: 19714 Loc: CLINTON, CT	Good Luck KWK! Dove hunting looks fun and active shooting. I've yet to do that. So you're not taking The Wench with you...you two love doves.

macattack678 USN (Ret) Registered: 01/25/05 Posts: 3871 Loc: North Stonington	Good advice! Thanks for the tips. I'm retiring at the end of the month "Good decisions come from experience. Experience comes from bad decisions." "Great fishermen are not born that way.....They become so through a lifetime of neglecting other things in their lives." "Don't try to explain it. Just nod your head. Breathe in. Breathe out. Move on.
