Off-topic: Meet me at the bar, Charles...

I hate the AARP due to their politics. Particularly their anti-Second Amendment stand.

Do what I do. They have to pay postage on returned material. I re-package EVERYTHING they send me, including the outer envelope, fold it, even include other junk mail from other entities, and put it in their return envelope, and send it all back.

They get the privilege of paying for returned trash.

Look at the bright side, Natalie-- you're just entering the *initial* state of your golden years: SS, CD's, IRA's, AARP. ;-)

You're not helping, Tak...

Nat, tell "tak" that if he doesn't stop with the ageist gags, you're gonna hit him with your cane. :-)

When AARP comes calling, can support hose be far behind?

The same thing happened to me. Pissed me off so much that I didn't join for another 3 years or so after turning 50. ;-)

Guess they send that to everyone who

I feel terrible, I had no idea a fwap could hurt so.

Here, let me make some amends.--

When you click the link below it opens up a new browser with a red background and a deep red square. Words come up explaining what it is about.

After you read it you may have a short wait before the music starts. It is well worth the wait. Your speakers should be on but not necessarily turned up loud .

Quit complaining, I get cards almost every month. The only problem is that I'm only 28.

"Cathy F." ...

I love that it says "return by March 30th" - I won't be 50 then, either.

:-P

Natalie

BTW - I got a heavily discounted subscription offer from TIME today. It is a "Senior Citizen" rate. Ackkkk! And Grrrrr.

Cathy

"mack"...

Did you say something, Mack?

Natalie

"tak" ...

Yeah, I know you're just sick about it.

:-/

Natalie

"Reasoned Insanity" ...

Whoa - tell them to quit sending you that crap.

Natalie

"Cathy F." ...

I haven't hit that milestone yet - Time offered me a "professional" rate (probably got my name from a nursing magazine), but I already get Newsweek.

Natalie

Funny, but I think he just remembered that he needed to do something else, far from the computer. ;-P

Cathy

re: this last - me, too, via pledge to PBS. I enjoy it, but barely have time to read it, much less read TIME, too. OTOH, this subscription price is so inexpensive, I might go for it, anyway - despite that "Senior" appellation!
