AARP

[dosry5]

I didn't realize the minimum age was only 50. I just joined. Heading to Denny's now

Shouldn’t you wait until Wheel of Fortune is over?

Not trying to throw this in the cave but your comment surprises me. Most conservatives that I know don't join because they are opposed to the left leaning politics that they perceive that the AARP supports.

Full disclosure: AARP has always claimed to be apolitical.

Maybe I missed your sarcasm?

It's primarily a lobbying group so....probably not apolitical.

AARP is just a lobbying group. To be honest with the way I book hotels and cars. AARP discount would not come into play. Not sure about Dennys. My military discount usually will cover any discount AARP has. So I won't be doing a membership.

Give you $1 for that trunk organizer.

Give you $1 for that trunk organizer.

Don't accept that when I'm offering 4 tennis balls for your walker.

 

[Bipolarcy]

If you don't open them....

....then how do you know what they say?

Obviously, I opened the first few. I got sick of them telling me I was obligated to sign up, so I throw them away now.

50 is hitting gen Xers now.

Senior citizens, although slow and dangerous behind the wheel, can still serve a purpose.

I'm Gen X, **** you.

Thanks for the input, although now I am hungry, confused, and pissed. Guess I am a senior citizen...

We need a couple new tags, one that represents huh? and another that is wtf. Some of you need to stop reading and watching politics 24/7.

My 13 year old son is constantly receiving AARP info and different retirement information. We tried to figure it out and it appears he got on some mailing list and we can't get him off of it.

Some mailing list somewhere thinks my name is Aloysius. I was receiving several spam calls a week last year as he evidently turned 65 in August 2019. No idea how my number got connected to dear old Ally, but it was. And quite annoying.

The worst part is, I'm actually not THAT far away from 65 so I already am dreading getting those calls and trying to figure out Medicare, Secondary/supplemental, co-pays, drug plans etc. for myself.

So they are confusing you with this guy?

Honestly have no idea what that is.

It's Mr. Snuffleupagus from Sesame Street. For the longest time everyone thought he was Big Bird's imaginary friend because no one else ever saw him. Apparently the show's producers were concerned that kids would start to think adults similarly wouldn't believe them when they had difficult things to tell so they finally had him appear to adult characters too. A while after they introduced the character they introduced his mother who calls him by his first name, Aloysius.

That has always been MY take as well. And like you no intention to make this political in any way shape or form.

For the OP - SHOULD you join AARP, that does NOT give you permission to wear black dress socks with sandals.

My uncle has long had a disdain for older folks, stemming from working retail in the snowbird haven of Arizona when he was in his early 20s. His plan, when elected governor or president, is that once you turn 70, you get either a driver's license or a telephone, not both.

This seems odd. My unscientific observation is that the likelihood of a driver to also be using the phone in one way or another is loosely inversely correlated to age.

I started getting calls for some Todd dude about 3 months ago. (Has this cell number since 95/96). Worst is, about a week ago I started getting texts for Todd asking if he wanted increase his penis size 2-4 inches.
