Well it's official, I'm an Official Old Fart. I just got my card from Social Security today.

I just turned 49, and I keep getting mail from AARP. SHEESH wait a while, for crying out loud! I could see if I'd already turned 54...

No thanks, I was on that nasty stuff when I was 5. And I'm only 49. Won't be 50 until October.

You're eligible for AARP membership at 50, which sort of explains it. But they sent me stuff at 49, too - which pissed me off; hey, it was bad enough that I was going to turn 50, w/out them reminding me of it ahead of time! Out of irritation over that faux pas (IMO) on their part, I didn't join till a few years later.

Congratulations, but you're now prohibited from wearing any belt that isn't white (no restrictions on suspenders), your pants can be made only of 100% polyester, and you must hike them up up 1" every year from now on.

And he has to wear Bermuda shorts with black socks and sandals.
Leave us not forget that he has to wear a Fedora while driving too slowly in the fast lane.

That's odd, I haven't got a thing from AARP.
Probably because they don't like conservatives that think.
But now it's official.
I'm thinking of becoming an official misogynist for my 50th birthday and start campaigning for the repeal of the 19th Amendment.

Drat. I'm going to have to go out and buy an entirely new wardrobe. And I was looking for old clothes for my halloween costome ideas for this year.
Polyester! Yecch. Guess I'm not old fart enough yet. I can, however, gripe about my operations on 75 meters.

Yeah, but your neighbors are *still* complaining about those loud blouses and high heels.
Natalie
Have you ordered a Buick, yet?
When you get a Buick, we'll know you're REALLY old. Unless you're actually Tiger Woods, that is.
No, since I like Toyotas, I'd just buy a Cram-me. Cram-me is the new Buick. I see so many old geezers with their hat down over their eyes driving them out here.

Not last night.....
nekkie swim night....LOL
In this kind of weather, I'd rather wear a fuschia bikini. . . . But then I'd have to paint my fingernails to match. GD&RRF.

Ah, getting touch with your feminine sides. Hubby says *I'm* his feminine side...
Natalie
Well, when you're single, you have to make do. . . .
(Still trying to figure out how you ladies get all that hair stuffed in that tight little bathing cap, though. Must be magic.)
