Long service leave ?

Exactly. I am taking that all the way to my retirement age. But am converting a bit for work for 5 weeks before next trip. Cold and boring here to be honest. May as well work a bit.

I guess you can cash it out if you retire but I'm not sure the tax on it

Ralfy I love you ,you know that ,but it may be disrespectful to name him everywhere 💜, he may want his privacy 

But because I love you it's Steady Eddy 

Said they rang him up and gave him 1 year even with Chemotherapy 

They rang him to tell him he is terminal...how bad service from this UK health service?

I'm very sad about Eddy 😭 

64yo he is

Don't you understand, the youtuber DID post a clip, but he doesn't want anyone to see it. haha

[Will B Good]

I went to the doctor's..........

 

He said thank god you're here I have some bad news and some absolutely horrendous news.

 

What's the bad news? .............You only have 24 hours to live.

 

OMG! What's the absolutely horrendous news?

 

I've been trying to get hold of you since yesterday.

And Brian you are self centred and selfish

You completely forgot about the YouTuber dying ,it's all about you isn't it ! 

You have been selfish all your life getting into work late everyday completely oblivious to the other workers 

First up your OP says YOUR LIFE people die all over the world everyday, why should I concern myself with others as sad as it is. You no nothing of my work life, I used to work normal start was 7.30am, 12 hrs. a day and more, some times 14days straight, flying and getting the red eye from Perth at 5.30am lugging my tool boxes, with me, arriving at WA airports, with 2+hr drives to mine sites for days at a time, to repair EVERY aspect of Truck mounted cranes. Keep trying to troll me if you so wish, I don't give a flying sh!t. Be careful not to slip on your slippery floors and steps, and die, on the other hand....maybe not.

Just watched a Pattaya YouTuber saying he got bad news today his doctor said 12 months to live even with Chemotherapy for his Cancer ,he is 62

At the moment I am at home crying ,I met this YouTuber and was in love with him ,not a lover love but a fan love of his YouTube channel 

 

Anf another situation , few months ago I worked with a guy 54yo who died who had never done anything with his life but work overtime ,always available for his overtime to in his words "Ching a Ching Ching " 💰the sound of the till💰💰

 

He had a heart attack in his sleep ,it was unexpected , people were shocked ,Darren died this morning everyone shocked 

Never turned up for his overtime shift had been going 12 hours shifts 

 

Never married ,never travelled and was a well off ,he was going to travel when he retired he told me on the very last day I saw him back in February.

"What a waste of money travelling to Thailand" he last said to me in February,what a waste of money !!!

 

All you guys over 60 and your still working especially if your over 65 think please ,anytime your going,

65 you have 15 years left 

 

Hey but it won't happen to you right !

Greed for money is the religious quote ?

Greed is your downfall Son 

 

Greed ...more money...I must keep working....then you die...work to your dead at s place that will replace you 

 

Don't waste your life working like an animal please that's all I ask 🙏 

 

I often wonder when I see nasty looking old men in their late 70's if they know they are not going to be here in 10 years that's why they are nasty , they are going and angry 

Sometimes I believe it's my duty to remind them

 

 

 

 

Steady Eddy?

I retired age 45, so far I've had 24 years of not working.

I've been not working for longer than I was working.

Sort of retired early 30s. Although did stuff online and still work in the 'real world' on occasion, consider myself very lucky in being able to travel and enjoy life to the max at that kind of age. Might be missing the gist of the op a bit, but doesn't matter at what point one is at, just live in the moment for FS. We all get sick and will be dead anyway. It is inevitable. Don't sweat the small stuff, etc...

You admit you made a mistake being a cheap charlie on your last trip in Jomtiem. That discussion's been had. 7 weeks in a cell like room. Walking the streets. Follow your own advice and live it up a bit. You've got the money apparently. I loved it there and Koh Chang. Back now - work for 5 weeks - and back to Thailand.  This time might take leave till I retire. Consider finishing up at the hospital  and it might cheer you up rather than these depressing aging threads you seem to like 

 

There must be opportunities for him to clean floors elsewhere, maybe he can get day release from he's secure unit..............

I believe most misunderstand what truly living is, and looking the wrong places, or trying to hard to do things they think making them living to the fullest. 

 

For me it is great to realize a good life is just doing normal things on daily basis. Have someone to care for, fresh food, fresh air, chop som wood, go gym or just listening to the wind 😉

 

What is living the life to its fullest mean for you guys? 

 

If I die tomorow, what would I really know and miss? it just doesnt matter what you did yesterday, unless you took your time to be kind to someone, then it matters.

I have been chasing life all my life, and never been completely satisfied. for every goal I reached, I wanted more, well, until I was burned out. Now appreciate living, and also working again. 

 

Lower your expectation, have enough for living, do not get stuck in one pattern, change with the wind, and be kind to people around you. Thats what matters.

I never understood those who every holiday have to drink, go bar, instead of having a quality holiday doing healthy things. Instead ending up more exhausted than before they went on holiday. 

 

And now see all retirees who chasing their second youth doing it all over again, chasing cheap leadies and alchohol. Tragic
