when ya get one of these in the mail.



It's just a friendly reminder my birth date is comin' 'round in a little over a week. This time it's official, I become an ol' fart.

I look forward to be an official "old fart". Then, I'll be old enough to where the hearing aids I already use...

What did ya say?

What's also depressing is my wife says she can't wait for me to get one so she can sign up for all the discount stuff.
I wonder if Ames and Summit offer AARP discounts?

Hope your kid'n about the age thing...i drop'd them about 10 yrs ago.

The wife joined up first and I got one because of that. I don't officially turn 50 'till January.
It was kind of funny (now) but she held out from joining for quite a while. Then she finally did, and just a few weeks later we received a mailer addressed to "senior citizen".
It took a while to get the ceiling fixed!

18 months for me. I'm planning a big bash with my in-laws in Phoenix. My BD is always the same week as the Scottsdale BJ auction so I will attend that along with a few blasts around Phoenix International Raceway courtesy of the Richard Petty Driving School.

Nope, the big 5-O is on the doorstep. It's official on the 19th. I guess I'll do the research to see if it's worth joining AARP. That would be nice if our 'bird vendors gave us ol' folks a break.

No plans other than meet up with Banshee to buy a 400 hood. And then I'll probably just kick back with a bottle of 21 year Glenlivet.

When I turn 50 I'd like to kick back with a 21 year old.

just wait until you get "medicare" sign up reminders...!

....I....no never mind..that was 2 years ago

but it also involved 16 y.o. Lagavulin scotch, my favorite...

I spoke too soon. The same card/offer was waiting for me today when I got home from work.

And I don't need to do any research. Besides the 5% here and 10% there you get off things, their magazine always has the latest info on hot retirement destinations.

Well, that's hardly worth it.

I looked at it quickly, but if I remember membership was like $12.50 a year?

That $12.50 will go for gas when I get the convertible roadworthy.

We used my Father in Laws AARP discount a few times on hotel rooms and rental cars when we traveled together. If you actually use it you will save some decent money.
I've used an oddball USA Waterski membership discount for rental cars. Most people pitch the little flyer with all the benefits and forget about it, but I've used it quite a few times over the years.
Free or discounted, I don't care how I get it, as long as I can use it I will.
The only one I don't use is Year One, their prices are 10-20% higher anyway, the discount just gets it back in line. But they're always out of stock on Pontiac stuff anyway.

I turned 40 last year and I got that JUNK a month later!!! What's up with that?? I'm too young to be this dang old!

I joined years ago, for one year ,had nO use out of it...
my wife joined 3 yrs ago...no idea if she gets anything out of it....


but , I took my grand daughter to the museum today and got my seniors discount ...LOL

I got one I'm 45, I guess you get older at a younger age.

Ain't it the truth! Next they'll be sizin' me up for the coffin.

Thats what i meant, i joined when i was about 30-35.
Found out i already got better hotel, motel, rental deals, etc, thru the NRA.
Plus free gun insurance, and expert gun law attourney rec's in case i plug someone and get sued or in trouble with the law.

you know when you are old when you start feeling that way in mind and body so that makes me 25.
