Greetings Nomad62, Well…. I guess I have all the time in the world to do anything I want to….I have no set hours, no clock, no concept of time (unless I look at the clock), can sit here all day long if I want to pounding on these letters in front of me….. Have plenty of time and money ( I’m spending my wifes, as we own a beauty shop…she’s the labor…I’m the hidden partner) lol. No worries, no cares…. I kicked all my kids out when they turned 18, just me and my bride of 33 years….I’m part house-husband…part slacker (I like that part), drink coffee till I run the pot dry, and by then it’s time to take my afternoon siesta about 2:00p.m…...Work in my shop anytime I want to, as long as I want to, and answer to no one…..How can I do all of this….Cause I’m retired from the U.S Army, and have been for 38 years, and I’m only 63….figure that one out!!!!! So… that leaves me time to read
(how did you put it…”this rediculouseness” ), and a whole lot more nonsense on here….who needs money?

Dennis—Your English is better than my Danish! I have always wished my grandfather would have taught us more about the old country. I’m planning to visit a distant cousin who lives near Copenhagen, so maybe I should be working more on my Dansk and less on my dovetails!

No, I definately don’t have money to lose. I’m in a different situation. I have major back issues and can’t get to the shop at times. Therefore, I do have plenty of time when I’m down to waste at the computer, and it seems lately all my “wasteful” time has been spent on Lumberjocks.
I was the one who started the thread the other day about my Lumberjock addiction called “My Problem With Lumberjocks”. I’ve been confined to my wheelchair for the past week.
As for the woodwork, when I’m able to do it, I do it for the love of the woodwork, not for money. As a matter of fact, if money was my only motivation for doing woodwork, I would have sold all my woodworking tools LOOOOOONG time ago, because I’m so deep in the red on woodwork that it aint even funny.

I wish I had more money my new shop would be up and running by now. Life situations have a way of throwing you a curve sometimes. Being disabled have to have something to do. Nothing on TV to watch so the only other solution is to spend time with others who have the same interest as myself. So its time to grab another cup of coffee and spend time with other LJ’s.

-- I don't make mistakes, I have great learning lessons, Greg

I’m retired and living on a pension and retirement savings. I enjoy a lot of time in the shop and 30 – 60 minutes a day on LJ. Since my workshop is very close to my den, with the computer, often I am on the computer while I’m waiting for glue to bond or a finish to dry.

-- Rich, Cedar Rapids, IA - I'm a woodworker. I don't create beauty, I reveal it.

The last 15 years before I retired I was self employed. Although, it was great being my own boss, I still had the most important people to satisfy, the customers.
Now, I only need to satisfy me…..well….SWMBO too, I guess.
Shop time or puter time or nap time. It’s all good.
No remorse at all when one time runs into another.

Nomad, another thing you must realize, is that many people, including myself, are able to visit this site any time, from nearly anywhere. Example I could be on a lunch break, in my car sittign waiting in a parking lot, and surfing this forum.
The addiction for many I hope is a healthy one.
I am new here, and in just a few hours over a few days I have learned more from reading these pages, than I ever could have by word of mouth, or surfing random sites, or reading books at the library…

Oh and gene…SWMBO…havent heard that used in a while…one of my favorites…especially for the EX Wife… haha!

EXes do NOT need to be obeyed. Actually, present wives don’t either. Just makes life simpler.
