GM's Thread About Everything/GM's Thread About Nothing (4 Viewers)

why don't NFL teams at least heat the yard lines so they don't have to have guys with brooms and shovels clean them off?
 
Seeing Zach Bryan in Tacoma Friday then heading to NYC to see Roverkid and see LCD Soundsystem and not meet @El Floppo for drinks. Back Sunday night and hosting the gf's parents for Thanksgiving Thursday.

Gonna be a hell of a week.
In Queens? I was eyeing those
I have one extra ticket for Saturday night, I think.
I just found out my real estate broker for work is James Murphy's nephew. Small world.

If you get a chance and find yourself in Williamsburg, try his restaurant The Four Horsemen.
 
So, I apparently thought it was a good idea to retire at the end of the year. I have no idea what I'm doing or how, so the next month should be fun.

Would love to hear more on what led up to the decision and how you considered things. For better or for worse, this is a relevant topic for this demographic!
This is kind of hard to answer. I'm still sort of processing this decision, so my response may be different in - say -a month than what I'm about to write. Or, at least, the order of importance of my reasons may change. This is gonna be kind of rambling, so apologies in advance if it seems disjointed.....

I'll be 63 next April. I am far from what would be considered "wealthy", but I also don't have some of the cost responsibility issues that others have. I have good equity - relatively speaking - in my home and a decent nest egg.

I've documented some health issues here in the past (in an earlier iteration of this very thread). I wouldn't have bet one thin dime a decade ago that I'd still be alive and posting here in 2024. I've gone into cancer remission three times. But I have a failing liver that can't go into remission and some other stuff going on on the health front.

Another part is that my professional career...... I'm just done with it and I don't want to start over. My company (which is a global giant in my field) has good and bad attached to it, like most others. The newer corporate culture has moved beyond me. I don't hate my job and I like most everyone I work with, but I'm tired of dealing with everything that comes with my position.

So, all of the above has played into my decision.

I'm rolling the dice some that I DON'T live another 20 years. I've had very clear instructions for a long time for the decision-makers on what to do should something catastrophic happen to me. I may get a part-time job at a hardware store or something helping folks pick out door hardware, but I'm able to take a while to worry about that.

Anyway, sorry for being a bit all over the place. If something I posted doesn't make sense, feel free to ask me.

Thanks GB. I think that all makes a ton of sense.

I'd also love to see you share in the bigger thread here https://forums.footballguys.com/threads/the-“i-want-to-retire-soon”-thread.811336/

I'm just a year or so younger than you and I think lots of our readers are in similar demographic. I'd imagine this topic is front of mind for lots of people. And discussion is always good. Thanks for sharing and keep us posted.

I periodically pop into that thread, but haven't read it end-to-end. It seems like every time I wander in there, there are 45 nested quotes and I'm too lazy to go to the source to get the context :lol:

I have a sit-down with my financial advisor on Tuesday to dot the "i"s on my strategy. I also have a call with my HR rep at work to finalize my exit next week. Once I have these two under my belt, I'll throw up a post in there on my experience with doing this. I just need a little bit of time to get my pea-brain wrapped around it all.

Just do it and don’t look back. Live your best life. We deserve at least 10 good health years to enjoy life at our age.
 
So apparently I have a mild case of pneumonia. I've been feeling pretty crappy for at least a week, mainly a cough. I thought it was just a sinus infection that was draining into my chest but I guess it got into one of my lungs. First time having a shot in the keester. :oldunsure:

I actually FEEL ok minus the cough. But it's contagious so I guess I'll be working from home all week.

That sucks. Take care of yourself and don’t rush it. Seems like there’s been a lot of pneumonia going around this fall.

My kids were exposed to whooping cough by one of their classmates a few weeks ago. I don't think I've ever heard of a case of it before that.

two little angles of mine had one girl on their softball team last summer whose parents are part of the antivax crowd and she got whooping cough and therefore the entire team got it and got letters from the county health department and even I had to spend a week at home and on a z pack yay take that to the bank brohans

Is this the thread for gift ideas for spouses?

Know what my wife and I got each other this year? Huh?


ROUND TRIP TICKETS TO DETROIT IN LATE DECEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Second place was TWO round trip tickets to Detroit in December.
Man, that sure beats the $6900 transmission for my son's car, the ER visit for my 16 year old after he slid off the boat trailer and slashed his shin, AND the operation my 18 year old had to have before he left for college that my wife and I got each other for Christmas.
