Worst Day In My Life!

Okay something happened today that I never thought would happen to me for a long long time. But today I got an invitation to join the AARP, shown below. Common people, I am 34 years old not 50 years old. Now granted I do act like an old man and I am a curmudgeon (as my co-workers remind me on a daily basis) but I do sometimes act like a 15 year old girl. In all reality, I do think I will be the old man on the block who sits on my porch and yells at the neighborhood kids for crossing into my yard.


So, after a few minutes and I got calmed down, I called AARP and they said that anyone over 18 can join. I looked online and this is what they say about membership. "For those under 50 who support the association's goals and objectives, we offer an associate membership. Once an individual celebrates a 50th birthday, the associate member automatically becomes a full member, receives a membership card, and can take advantage of all of our benefits and services." While I do support AARP in their goals I don't want to join until I can reach full membership and I will proudly wait until I reach 50!!!! Until then, AARP you can keep my membership on hold.

I LOVE IT!! Keep a rocking chair open for me on that front porch. I'll yell at those whippersnappers with you. I'm about there today.

That's too funny! I love that you actually called them. I didn't know we youngins could join, too. Don't feel too bad. The other day Danny (age 37) got a National Geographic subscription offer "for seniors only." --it wasn't for people who support seniors or who like the idea of seniors becoming educated about the world. It was for seniors. Ha!
