A thread for midwives to mingle.

I don't think divegeester is such a fragile flower that he can't be diplomatically silent when he needs to be. And the same goes for you.

If you mean by “diplomatically silent” to not reply to a post because they happen to be someone you approve of, then I’m afraid that filter isn’t going to be applied very often 🙂

An attempted zinger that's had nine days of gestation Kewpie. Mmm. Apparently you were not able to discern that what I posted was a tongue in cheek effort to make light of the moment and smooth things over.

There don't seem to be many midwives here, but still women with experience. A very important job.

Are you more content with life as a mature woman Torunn? I certainly am.

I think retirement in general breeds contentment but I might be wrong. Of course it's you're financially stable that is.

Yes, and maturity comes with experience and I believe I have had lots of that. So in a way this is a good age but oh, how quickly the years have passed. 🙂 You have the best time in front of you, Drew.

Voluntary retirement is usually a good time, still many good years to come.

I worked in the public sector for 27 years. They provided a Retirement study day for people planning to retire. Some very useful points were discussed. Having an interest / hobby to retire to was important for me to maintain my stable mental health.

You are correct on that one my old friend. Of course having a few dollars tucked away doesn't hurt especially in these economic times.
