Limecreek Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Yesterday afternoon, I was disrupted by laughter; quiet at first, but increasing in volume until my office door burst open. My wife, standing in the doorway, leaned forward, clutching a white envelope that I couldn't read without my glasses on. She was only giggling at this point, so I swapped my reading glasses for my distance glasses and turned back to see what had Sandi in stitches. The printing on the envelop came into focus. AARP....card enclosed and it had my name on it......oh, the horror. Link to comment

ltljohn Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 The AARP assault started 1 month before I turned 50. I will not be officially old until I am older than Paul and Marty Link to comment
Kathy R Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 50 is the new 30! I toss AARP in the trash, as I don't want to be used by their political action committee without my imput or topic by topic permission. Link to comment

SweetP Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I read a great post on another site. 'Being 50 is like a Dickensian Christmas for your body. All your past mis-deeds line up to pay you a visit.' I laughed until I cried....or was it the other way around? Whatever, it didn't happen to me. At least, if it did, it was so long ago I can't remember. Link to comment
Bernie Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I saved 50 % on bike insurance with Foremost and my AARP discount over State Farm. And a buddy of mine saved about the same over Progressive. Who cares if that makes me old, every one else knows I am old. Link to comment
Dennis Andress Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 It happens Greg. Some of us feel glad to have made. Think of it as in invitation to make even bigger memories in the coming years. Happy Birthday!! Link to comment
RichEdwards Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I just returned from the AARP Convention in Las Vegas. Had a great time, saw some wonderful shows...Faith Hill one night, Gloria Estefan another night...both provided by AARP at cheap ticket prices ($30 I believe.) Add Cirque d' Soliel and Blue Man Group on other nights and it was a fun week. Last year the Convention was in DC and Paul Simon and Chicago were the headliners. AARP doesn't make you old...it's a pretty vibrant organization. And I get my motorcycle insurance from them too. Link to comment
