[SHAAAUGHT!!!]

I’m so old I remember when this place was called SabresReport 😁

I’m just a few months away from Medicare eligibility.

Creep is one of the very best songs to cover.  And this guy nails it, in my opinion.

Are you there yet? I beat you by a few months. Pro tip: don't get a Medicare Advantage plan. Get A & B plus gap and prescription plans. You'll pay more now but but you're better off in the long run.

I retired at 57 at the end of last year. 
Now I can stay up and watch the Sabres when they play late road games on the left coast.

So I'm basically 2 years older than you.

We going by actual age or the age we feel inside, because I go from the Saved by the bell Zack Morris to Grad torino Clint Eastwood reallllll quick in that case.

One thing that helps how you (the general you, not any you in particular) feel is weight.  I was as heavy as I'd ever been in March and I felt like I was in a death spiral of aches and pains.  I thought I was going to have to break down and see a doctor about my knees.  I've dropped 25 pounds and the aches and pains have largely evaporated.  I've done bigger weight losses in the past and this was true each time.  Taking the load off feet, knees, hips and back (particularly losing that offset weight of a big belly) does wonders.

I am down 23 pounds since January.   I have been doing weight training, walking,  golf, eliminating bad food, almost no sweets/deserts, and cutting way back on alcohol.   

I am 65, retired for 3 years, and man do I feel great.  Gonna keep it going.

OK, next everyone check in with the street you grew up on and favorite pet's name.

Passing those off as your porn name was a great way for the scammers to steal everything. 
 

And I don’t care, scam away. Nothing will ever top my name: Smoky Wildwood

My options are limited because my retirement health insurance goes through the state…including the Medicare plans…but thx anyways.

Maybe we should leave this as an open thread to discuss all “geezer” related issues?  😂😂😂
