    Once or twice a week we hop on The Friendship Boat at Hollywood, take a ride around the pond/lagoon/lake, whatever it is. Get off in Epcot, get our 7,000 to 10,000 steps in at Epcot, then get a bite to eat.

    I dont see myself getting bored with this.
    We enjoy the hell out of it. 
    The beauty of Epcot is a multitude of dining options. Eat in a different "country" every week.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    Big news!

    I got a 2.8% cost of living raise on my disability. More than $65 a month. Woo hoo!!

    I can now afford 3 Mickey Mouse ice cream bars a week.

    Life is good.

    and I thought it was a thread about RETIREMENT in general...not just Speedy, seams enough bandwith for others to share...which they have...i posted a ton of happy pics....HAPPY ....as in the world needs more of that

    Plus i like showing my face lately....just in case a cousin of mine from the Nashville show wants to reconnect......5 in fact
    Can’t speak for them but I think the political stuff was the first few pages when certain people had an immediate knee jerk reaction to any mention of Florida. 
    I'm guessing 4,654 people said to me over the last year..

    Do you know it's HOT in Florida? 
    Do you realize it gets HOT in Florida?
    Have you ever spent time in Florida during the summer?
    Do you know how humid it gets in Florida?


    Well, Chicago is getting 6-10 inches of snow today, it's 31 fucking degrees, and there are 40 miles an hour wind gusts.

    Fuck Chicago

    I’m told the same things all the time. It’s annoying. Some people can’t comprehend how everyone is different. I can’t wait to get down there.
