            Unfortunately, it wasn't the way I planned. After my plant closure I went out doing young man's work. Discovered I wasn't. SSDI.

              Congratulations, Bob. I did also. Tomorrow will be the first day in almost 40 years when I don't have a job.

                  I recall your plant closing, Bob, sorry there wasn't a happier turn of events. That's the pits.

                  I hope you enjoy many years of recreation and leisure.

                    The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.
                    Personal failures are too important to be trusted to others.

                        Good! Now you have time to jog and go to the gym. Also time to appreciate that retirement age is fate's gift to you.

                          I'm sorry to hear it was not on your terms Bob. I hope it works out for you that you can still do what you want in retirement.
                          Stay calm, be brave....wait for the signs. Possibly precariously prevaricating.

                            I'll echo what Steve said, Bob. You have my continuing good wishes.

                              Hope you enjoy your time off.

                              Now that I'm retired I only take jobs I want to do...life is much better that way. (I can't get the hang of just sitting around).
