hmmm.....we have a 5 year limit on welfare, since the '90s
and they're 3rd generation??

Depends on what kind of welfare. *Remember, you're talking to someo
ne
with a lifetime of first hand experience.

Yes, along with Frank Reid and every retired military person out there
.

Could you expand, somewhat, on your intended meaning, please?

Wolfgang, aka Giles, has called me a welfare queen for several years. *
He refers to my military retirement as welfare.

And, yes, he is bitter about it.

Frank Reid is also retired from the military. *What is good for me must
also apply to my friend Frank.

Thank you.

It fits his general demeanor -- a wanna-be who never was.

cheers

Yeah, a wanna-be sumtin or other.

I retired when I was 38, so there was plenty of time for a civilian
career. I retired from GTE (now Verizon) after 19 years with one of
those golden parachute buy-outs. I was still young enough for yet
another career teaching cops (State Police in VT and MA) high
performance driving/pursuit training. It was one of those jobs were
you say to yourself, "They are actually *paying* me $400/day plus
expenses to do this?" Anyway, I retired from doing that while in my
60s and do nothing now, at age 72, except collect three different
pensions, play with the grand kids, fish and play golf.

Joanne and I are on the road, on our way to a new winter home in
Georgia. We are in Roanoke, VA (697 miles from Mass. in 10 hours) at
bro-in-law. We'll finish the rest of the trip tomorrow. Supposed to
snow!

Be well
