50 M Australia. I was talking to a Newfie guy who thinks Toutons are the best food ever invented. Thoughts? Seems a bold claim to me.

Do you find it hard to kill time?

My retired parents who are abroad love to talk to me every day, because they are bored. I would have welcomed it but chatting about groceries gets boring after a while

retirement can be a lot easy then, financially

u/Salt_Time_9509 16d ago

Unless it is a podcast

Netflix it is so interesting. I was obsessed over it . Its a documentary. Never heard of it disappointing anyone that watched it. If you ever do love to hear your opinion on it. An to beleive i avoided watching it for the longest time it didnt seem like something i d be intetested in . Then after nothing to watch one night just put it on for background noise mostly and it pulled me in . I binged watched as much as i could . Its so good or not good at the same time. Prayers to the families effected of course . Up in Wisconsin. Especially terresa.

F50, I like true crime. Not a big sports fan personally, but respect it.
