9 year old? Are you the father?? How old were you when you had her, 60?

:1orglaugh

if you need a cuck hit me up ;-) Seriously, must be nice to screw off your time. Good for you.

florida has great retirement homes...bridge clubs..pinncole and hearts games...shiffleboard.. shows at nite with dinner included...buffets. and trips to local museams,theaters and ,antiique shops..ocassional dinner cruises and casino trips...


you should look into it...you would love it :)

Well, I for one have great admiration for you Paul!

I admire that you made your living in the days when >95% of this industry where not even born or only just in school. That you persevered through hard times and revelled in good times. That you found your lovely wife. That you fought cancer and survived. That you came out the other end after all that and still retired in a nice home, with a lovely wife, and enjoy still what you do. The fact that you still post on GFY and take abuse, when clearly you have been there done that, got the teeshirt, is amazing, cos I wouldn't do it.

There really aren't very many people in this industry that are of your age that have done what you have done. I'd like to ask every single one of your haters how they see themselves at retirement age, cos I doubt a fraction would ever be where you are when they get there.

To you sir, I bow my hat. :pimp

Doing puzzles isn't for me, but shit, I've got 30 yrs yet to get to enjoy it!!

Now flame on in the piracy shit!!

he called you mr. rogers dude. damn

Nice puppies!

This made me LOL.

Hey you're back, just noticed. It was the weather sig. :)

Thanks Borked. My haters aren't even bright enough to figure out how I funded shooting 2,5000+ sets 1,000+ and still own them. Many before the Internet.

I don't get annoyed by most of the abusers. Like you I wonder where they will be when they're 60.

As for jigsaws. I had a time when I was playing computer games and after a while found them incredibly boring, just me I suppose. A good book, create my own recipes (did one today), jigsaws and our daughter are keeping me busy.

In the Spring we will buy a dog and I plan to go out and start shooting more of the local countryside, while walking him. And will have to train him.

Life is good in retirement, but do miss the countless naked horny females who turned up every day. :winkwink:

before the internet? I hear your method of mailing was by pigeon. . . just sayin', its all i heard. . .

congrat to you !

thats awesome. I havent done a puzzle in a long time! so congrats on all that work!!!

I just finished one myself, not quite that cute though.

my gf had similar.... but with 9 puppies...

congrats :)

Quoted for the truth. Eva was hours doing the make up for this shot.

Not sure if that's a good idea. My 9 year old helps me do them!!!!!

That one looks really difficult.

What do you do with jigsaws after you complete them? I always wondered this lol but grats on getting it completed, i wouldn't have the patience to do a jigsaw

That's one big puzzle for sure.

Good job, started from the outside I guess? Haven't done a puzzle in a long time or a model car for that matter.

Great post.
While I may or may not agree with some of Paul's ideas posted on this board, I have nothing but admiration for his personal history and his attitude, and I am actually a fan. Geez, I was even thinking to setup a fanclub (and no irony here...) :thumbsup

Loads of hobbies are about relaxing the mind and getting away from the rush and turmoil of work and real life.

Reading, writing, fishing, golf, model making the list is long. It's minus 4-6 here most days and I hate the cold, so this hobby keeps me occupied and indoors where it's warm. When it warms up I will get a dog, start to go for long walks and take pictures. :thumbsup

Which I will make into jigsaws. :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh

We had many methods.

He was just one.

you glued that right? i did one when i was like 9. the pieces were alot bigger :1orglaugh and my grandmother glued it and put it in a frame. :)

There are some silicone gels/glues that you can buy in some stores (some puzzles come with it), that you just mix with water and then apply it on it.
since it's silicone gel it keeps it together and it's pretty elastic, it's also transparent and itis applied over the picture. It keeps the things lot easier once you put it all together...

I personally admire people who have patience for something like that, since I would throw those pieces out the window the second minute...

There's also a spray that makes it easy to lift off the table and mount on a board. Then frame.

This one I did last has gone back into the box and will get done again.

I can't afford to keep buying them. :1orglaugh

great! at least you have time to do that

I'm finishing mine...
