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 someone
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.

Oz. I am just using your post to respond because its the last. This
post is to all the above.

We can continue this stuff endlessly. Who is to blame society/economy
versus the individual. Fact is its both as far as my personal beliefs/
experience etc.. But that is irrelevant when it comes to helping a
FAMILY member , or a really close friend out of the muck. We on ROFF
can (and will ) go on contrasting our personal beliefs in a
superiority dance cleverly demonstrating "truths" WITHOUT ever DOING
anything long enuf or intensively enuf to effect a change in the lives
of people we care about who ----------------------- (choose one or
mo a. have made bad choices, b. are victims of the recession, c.
voted for the antichrist, d. are pawns in the capitalist game).

Like I said before ... I doubt there is any man here, no matter where
he starts on your or my "scale of proper compassion," who ... could
not do more and start with a down and out family member or close
friend. That's the real choice for most of us.

Oh? You've met Frank? Interesting. Most of us who know him (and
there are many) would not characterize him as "a wanna-be who never
was." I don't think anyone who knows him could ever doubt that, in
fact, he most certainly IS. Well, for the time being anyway. If we
were an insurance company.......

Yeah, a wanna-be sumtin or other.

Hey, ain't it grand to get that retirement check every month. wink

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

d;o) If you watched me play golf, you'd know that is new. Bought a
kayak for the lake, so that will be a new experience. And I have
discovered antique shops. My lovely bride will always keep me busy. A
friend suggested art lessons, and the area has more than a few art
shops.

Thanks
Finding something new to learn is easy - I don't have to search too far.
Old time fiddle and celtic music will keep me going for years learning new
stuff

but

What really ****es me of , even more so than the political stuff in a
fishing forum, is that
My old soggy brain does not take things in as easily as it used to - nor
does my body .

I went to a fiddle camp last summer and there were 12 yr old kids picking up
new stuff easily after a few hours
Me I had to go home and practice for 3-4 mos

Luckily I can read water and cast fairly well
and
Playing w the grandkids is definitely a good thing to do
