Yes it's a decent show. Big Bang Theory level a few moments to raise a smile but nothing hilarious. Good background tv.

I'm serious dude.  The last time I visited them, I was sitting in the cafe with my dad, eating an egg salad sandwich and listening to the old Jews yelling at each other about how Saul was cheating at mahjongg and thought to myself "Ahh, this is the life."

Despite the obvious lameness of living with the elderly all around you.

What's lame about that?  I'd love to live in a retirement home!  My parents live in one and it's great.  Here are just a few of the reasons why:

a) All the food is soft and I'm lazy and don't like to chew;
b) All kinds of clubs!  Theirs has a computer club, a chess club, and even a Dungeons & Dragons club;
c) You don't have to worry about what you say to anyone, since they'll have forgotten it (and probably your name along with it) the next day;
d) The dining area doubles as a mahjongg gaming area, which is great if you like mahjongg and/or arguing

Well, I'm sold. I'm at least 25 years from retirement, but maybe I'll cash out early and move into a retirement home. My beard is greying rapidly so I should be able to pass as a senior.

That might not work for me; people constantly think I'm younger than I am.

I've not seen it yet but there's a well reviewed film featuring a 50 year old in a retirement home.

Early onset dementia is a thing.

Did I ever mention that I'm thinking of retiring early so I can live in one of those comfy retirement homes? I'm 25 years from retirement, but my beard is greying rapidly so I should be able to pass as a senior.

I see what you did there.

Didn't you tell us once that you were thinking of retiring early so you could live in one of those comfy retirement homes and that, though you were 25 years from retirement, your beard was greying rapidly so you should be able to pass as a senior?

I don't think so, no.

Is HMB thinking of retiring early so he can live in one of those comfy retirement homes? He's 25 years from retirement, but his beard is greying rapidly so he should be able to pass as a senior.

Oh look.
A "castle" within a sane price range.

I wonder how many crews it take to push back the ship to the sea, though?
