65 is when you are “told” you should retire. Not when you should/must retire. My Mom didn’t retire until she was 70, and that was only because she was tired of taking recertification tests. By the way, she still complains there aren’t enough hours in the day. My Dad “retired” at 75, but is still writing and such. Myself, I’m a GenX’er, and I’m planning on working (remotely) until I lose my mind and can no longer think coherently. I like to work, and I’m hoping I can do it into my 90+ years. I’m hoping that when I retire I won’t notice it, and won’t live much longer. Fingers crossed for several more decades of enjoyable work.

The botulism police are on Lemmy. Please tell me more about how I’m going to die.

Sleetaks are awesome. And collecting Sleestack busts and mannequins is a great hobby!

Us Minnesotans are hecka proud of our Hot Dish, some of us go as far as Cold Hot Dish. If you’re from outside Minnesota I’m talking about casserole and pasta salad. And pasta salad is not the midwest mayo-layered trifle thingy.

Additionally, as a Minnesotan, I know of people who think ketchup is a “hot sauce”. These are the scary ones.

I do the NY Times crossword, that Is my whole interaction with the NY Times. I find it enjoyable.

Brass knuckles. I got 100% brass USA-made knuckles. They live on my desk (WFH) and I give them a good polish from time to time. They still bring a smile to my inner child.
