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.

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.

Another 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.

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.

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 up

Retired at 55 twenty two years ago. Check in daily, but not much when traveling or attending family functions.

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.

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.

And yes, you may be the pup of the forum- ha.

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.
