Banzai99 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) When you spend every waking hour on an anonymous internet forum slagging off the citizens and the country you chose to retire to . And when you realize it was a bad decision by you, blame Thailand and Thai people, and find fault in everything they do.

Nichada Ned Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 You know you are retired when...............you have read and accepted these little nuggets of advice for a happier extended life during the remaining "golden years". Looking forward to see and live a few more "golden nuggets" of advice on this forum for those of us who have chosen to take the rest of our lives off, and spend them here, in Thailand, with people who make us happy.

Suradit69 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Retirement coming up soon. I will know I'm retired when the only thing I will worry about is when to sleep and when to eat. (borrowed) "the only thing I will worry about is when to sleep and when to eat. " You won't worry about either until you notice both are happening more frequently but with shorter duration, that your clothes are mysteriously shrinking, that you've missed the middle part of most movies you've been watching and you have to re-read the last 10 pages of a book to remember who the characters are.

PAWNEESE Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Not so much about being retired, but more about getting older. You realise your getting old when you find yourself going to bed ... about the time you used to just start thinking about getting ready to go out.

BWPattaya Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Not specifically about retirement but life in general.....“The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating......and you finish off as an orgasm.” George Carlin The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connda Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 When you decide that a bucket list is really not such a bad idea and re-read the Bardo Thadol. You know that you're retired when... you practice death meditations that are in the Bardo Thodol and maintain a better sense of humor than you had when you use to work 9 to 5.
