How Many of You Here on Cards Talk are Retired?
And if you are retired, how often do you check in on Cards Talk? Do you just leave it open on your computer and check a few times daily?
do you check once a day? just curious
I'm not retired, but i have 4 computer screens for work, and i usually leave CT on in the background screen and check maybe hourly

70 year old. 15 years retired military. Live alone. Stay on CT often to chat. Stay on an hour, do chores, check back. Hour to hour.Adam2 wrote: ↑30 Jun 2025 07:59 am And if you are retired, how often do you check in on Cards Talk? Do you just leave it open on your computer and check a few times daily?

Not retired, but work from home looking at screens most of the day. Check in a few to several times most work days.

I will be 80 next Sunday and have been retired 18 years. I'm usually on CT in the morning while drink my coffee. Then I'm in and out of the house all day, like today mowing and trying to keep caught up on gardening and yard work. Strange year so far with all the rain we have gotten.

The last time we did a roll call the board was about 50/50 retired and about 75 percent between 60-80 years old.

I am retired and 68 years old. I retired 3 years ago. I check in a couple of times each day. I participate in game day threads but not a lot of posts/game.

Thanx. I enjoy your posts also.sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑30 Jun 2025 08:23 amAnother thought. I’m on CT when the board is loaded with its premier actors, yourself included. It’s much funner to socialize with a larger population. In addition, like ur self, the chatter is awesome.

You're right about the rain. I got my veggie garden in about 3 weeks later than usual because the ground was never dry enough to till upOldRed wrote: ↑30 Jun 2025 08:22 am I will be 80 next Sunday and have been retired 18 years.

Retired at 55 twenty two years ago. Check in daily, but not much when traveling or attending family functions.
Re: How Many of You Here on Cards Talk are Retired?
agree with you on this. It's no fun to post something and someone respond 2 days later when i've already forgotten what i wanted to discuss.sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑30 Jun 2025 08:23 amAnother thought.

Im 41 years old and i remember the thread about posters age. I believe i was youngest or second youngest

No offense but you are young. So much of life ahead. Do you realize the average poster you talk to is about 30 years your senior. That’s wild.Adam2 wrote: ↑30 Jun 2025 08:31 amagree with you on this.

Semi retired.. still teach at local college...share season tix in Section 148 so see a lot of games...check in a few times a day and am amazed how a few posters can find time to live on here!
Re: How Many of You Here on Cards Talk are Retired?
I’ve been retired for 4 years, I went at 62. I check in at different times. My 3rd grade teacher was a Cardinal fan and she let us watch a World Series game during class time. I believe it was the game in which Bob Gibson pitched and also hit a grand slam. I’ve been hooked ever since! Lou Brock Is still my all-time favorite player.
