WHOA!!!

I was flipping through the mail today and was shocked to see Jamie Lee Curtis staring at me from the cover of the AARP magazine. "$*#%!" I thought, "I know I'm pushing thirty-ten, but aren't they a little early."

I thought it was a conspiracy to make me feel old—AARP and whoever made my lawnmower harder to push than it was last year. Then I realized that the magazine wasn't for me. I'm having my mom's mail forwarded to my house and it was meant for her. Whoa went to whew.

I was going to toss it out, but then some things caught my eye. It can't hurt to take a look, right? I mean, I'll...uh...only read it for the articles.

LOL...I've had the exact same experience as my mom's mail arrives at our house. Sadly, I'm technically old enough to join AARP. But that's just a technicality. LOL

I see an article there that tells you how to live to be 100. I'd say that's a reason to keep it right there, not to mention that Jamie Lee Curtis is cool :-)

i've let it lapse, but I had an AARP membership for years. Was a benefit of working for Scudder Investments, who managed the AARP investment program. Always got a bit of a funny look when I took out my AARP card to get the discount at hotels or such.

You won't hear me giving you any flack for "browsing".

How can this be?? Well, I guess 48 hours was a number of years ago and I was much younger then, so there ya go.

I had a similar experience when I hit 35. They had the right name, but the wrong guy. I'm a Junior!

Of course, that was 10 years ago, and my mother informed me on my last visit home that I'm only five years away from being able to join.

I'm not ready for 50!
