    You sound very creative and that’s good. My wife probably won’t approve the 3D spending and would think if I wanted a cell phone holder I could bend up a coat hanger…. Haaahaa. Just kidding. I enjoy fishing and used to play golf but now have a heart aneurysm so I need to be careful about things...

    Hi and thanks for your reply and idea about 3D printing. It sounds like something I’ve never tried and not sure what I’d need to make from a 3D printer. Actually I have trouble with my normal home printer. It sits for months and when I go to use it the printer won’t or it needs an update and...

    Thanks there are some good ideas. I don’t live a retirement center. I have thought of jigsaw puzzles and play online. I’ve been looking for volunteer work, but so far nothing. Not much for choices either. I do pray daily. I want to be involved at something so I do keep my eye out. I’m hopeful...

    Hi… thanks for your reply but if you have any post retirement topic or comments, I’d be glad to hear your thoughts on how you’re dealing with so much free time. Or if you’d like to chat about anything else let me know. Thx again

    Hi to all, newly retired and miss talking to people.

    Well it seems a couple folks said to try that… I might have to look into it. Bored and lonely makes me want to try anything. So thanks

    Hi to all, newly retired and miss talking to people.

    Thanks for the good advice but I’m not single so I wouldn’t want to be a bother to those looking for a mate. I’m just lonely and bored, my wife works nights and is gone a lot.

    Don’t feel alone, I’m hoping that your being here helps to show you that sometimes ill feelings are ok. I try not to think about things I can’t help with or change. Not a great answer but sometimes just trying to make my day positive. So I’, sending positive waves your way..good wishes.

    Hi to all, newly retired and miss talking to people.

    Greetings to any reader. I’m missing the social chat. I’m married and at 67 I still miss work and seeing my friends there. If you want to say hi or just chat about anything let me know. I like to fish but here in Nevada not much of that around. I used to play golf but my health isn’t so good...

    Maybe not an exciting thread to read but I’m curious how many others that retired find the home life boring. Without work there’s so much time on my hands. Thankfully walking my dog helps. I mean if there weren’t people at the dog parks I wouldn’t see anyone. I can tell now that I didn’t plan my...
