AARP????--bad words, bad words--

I've never been so insulted in my life. How DARE they. In today's mail I received a notice from the AARP wanting me to subscribe to their magazine. What are they thinking? I am WAY to young for them. It said in the news letter that is was for people OVER 50 years old. I've got news for them, I am no where near that age. I won't be OVER 50 for another 15 months. 50 is NOT over 50. You can't be OVER 50 until you are 51. Someone should write them a nasty letter informing them of this fact. I think maybe I will. [the 'bitch' switch could come in handy now] This is all 'in fun' naturally. If there's one thing you can't get away from it's your birthdate. What does AARP stand for anyway? something, association of Retired people??? Boy, I only WISH I was retired. Oh wait, no I don't!!!! That would make the face in the mirror AT LEAST 100 years older!

I was talking to Bryon today. He's such a 'card.' Not only are Libby's hours 'down' at Coral Hills', his are 'down' at Smith's as well. He says, and I quote,' I was thinking of getting a second job but- I hate to work.' Now that's looking at our economy with a smile. I do love that boy!
Hugs to all!!

"You are only as old as you feel." My wise boss from the digital imaging dept... (when we still had a digital imaging dept.) said that to me a few years ago. She has nearing retirement age but you wouldn't know it talking to her. She had an attitude like: "You think you can take me? Let's go. But I must warn you that you will get your butt handed to you." She was awesome because she was always looking out for the employee. She can be quoted as saying: "My techs. come first."

I never saw an old person in her. I saw one of my best bosses to date. To this day, I still think she bought us untold cases of soda with her own money.

The point is, carve out a niche for yourself and love life (which you seem to do well according to your blog) and you will never be old.

Love you!

I love your blog I am always laughing you can say stuff so well unlike me. this lady I know once was ordering food and they gave her the senior discount - let me tell you - she told the cashier she would like to pay full price cause she wasn't a senior yet.
