Fordgalaxy Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Meh. I remember when I turned 35 and a great friend called me and said, "you're now closer to 50 than you are 20" and I wasn't all that excited about that. Here it is almost 7 years past 50 and it's not that big of a deal. My motto for quite a while is, you have to get older, but you don't have to get old. Personally, I can't wait until I get to the age when I can say inappropriate stuff and people just laugh and shake their heads. Welcome to the half century club. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HemiBeers Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 A month after I turned 50, I got an unsolicited email from The Scooter Store with a picture like this. I was convinced that one of my co-workers was being a dick and signed me up for their mailing list. You'll be getting your AARP paperwork soon. It's actually not so bad. Occassionally I get the senior discount at restaurants without asking (even though I'm not quite a 'senior' yet). 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I wish I could go back to 50. I'll be 65 in a few months. Am I too old for your club? Maybe we can start a geriatric division. :codger: 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we went to see Bohemian Rhapsody over New Year's; the other people in line asking for Bohemian Rhapsody looked -- just like us! When we got to the window, the girl said, "Bohemian Rhapsody? You get the 55 and over discount . . . but she was serious. (It actually cut the ticket price a lot and I wouldn't have thought to ask . . .) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librarian Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) it's been a few weeks now for me. I am questioning everything! What is 50 supposed to look like or feel like - and forget famous people, they can't be looked at as a benchmark for what is supposed to be normal. I don't know And AARP sent me paperwork back in December! :codger: Discounts Ahoy!!!! Edited February 9, 2019 by librarian 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metallica is AARP material. My BFF and I saw The "And Justice For All" Tour on Thanksgiving weekend in '88. AARP started The year I was Born, 1958, in California, and A lady who was doing things for former teachers, from 1947. Health and benefits for retired teachers....I didn't receive my first invitation to join AARP Until I was in my mid 30s about 6 years after that concert.They STILL Send me stuff. Anything to get my money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Does the Osteo Biflex stuff work? No. It's a lot of money too. Are your aches and pains starting? If so, for me at least, the best remedy is ibuprofen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
