Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / November 2005Stupid Little Question. . .
I have a form to fill out. The options are: Employed Self-employed Unemployed Retired Since I'm on SSDI, am I considered unemployed or retired? With what I have I won't ever be going back to work. Carole Hi Carole, I would put Retired. Sue > Hi Carole, > I would put Retired. > Sue I did, even though it made me sound OLD :))) >> Hi Carole, >> I would put Retired. >> Sue > > I did, even though it made me sound OLD :))) I tell myself that early retirement makes me sound privileged, not old. Jo >I have a form to fill out. The options are: > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Carole You are retired. You can't be unemployed if you are not employable. Besides I like the sound retired better. Jo > You are retired. You can't be unemployed if you are not employable. > > Besides I like the sound retired better. > > Jo So do I, Jo...but it makes me sound old, LOL :-))) Early retired is absatively true and it's not a stupid question. How's yer early retirement goin'? Hugs from Rosie  Signature"If you wanna get it done, you gotta fight for yourself." -- Meat Loaf, Bat Outta Hell II > I have a form to fill out.

[quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >> >> Carole Reminds me of a story my hubby told me, which is supposedly true. One of the ladies who worked at AOL in the early days, became a millionairess at around 25, so she retired. When filling out some form like this, she didn't feel like she was "old enough" to count as retired, so she asked the clerk what she should put down. He asked her if she worked and she said no. He marked "unemployed" for her. doh! (Somehow I think retired sounds better, even if some people might think she was too young for it. I know *I'd* sure love to retire early!) - Sharon "Gravity... is a harsh mistress!" > Reminds me of a story my hubby told me, which is supposedly true.

I used to think the same thing. Carole > Early retired is absatively true and it's not a stupid question. How's > yer early retirement goin'? > > Hugs from Rosie It's going OK. I have managed to find things to do so sometimes I'm busier than I was when I was working. I do get frustrated in that there are things I'd like to do but can no longer do. But as my cardiologist says "it is what it is". I'm happy and have time to read and do things that I never seemed to have the time to do before. The frustrating part is the housework, as there are things I just can't do anymore. But I know that people here well understand that one :) Carole >> Early retired is absatively true and it's not a stupid question. >> How's [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Carole Sure do. In the last three hours I've managed to dust the kitchen floor, wipe off the stove and countertop, and start the dishwasher. At this rate, I'll have the place ready for Thanksgiving by New Years. And that's only if things didn't get dirty again after they get cleaned. Now I'm trying to decide if I dust the family room today, will I have to do it again before Thanksgiving. Cause I'm sure not going to do it twice. That's just pathetic. Jo > Sure do.

If you figure out a way for them not to get dirty again, let me know :-)) I keep looking at my kitchen and thinking "But I just cleaned that yesterday!!" > Now I'm trying to decide if I dust the family room today, will I have to do > it again before Thanksgiving. Cause I'm sure not going to do it twice. > That's just pathetic. I hear ya on that one, Jo :)) I am not going anywhere for Thanksgiving. I may take myself out to dinner unless I can get the energy up to make a small turkey for me :-)) Carole Carol, I just look at my house and say, "I cleaned that two months ago!" Gwen >> Sure do.

Well, I'm thinking that if they can make self cleaning ovens, why not self cleaning houses and apartments?? :-)))))) Carole who would definitely rent one of those :) > Carol, I just look at my house and say, "I cleaned that two months ago!" > Gwen [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] >> >>Carole >Now I'm trying to decide if I dust the family room today, will I have to do >it again before Thanksgiving.
