Samadhi Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 What is your philosophy on when you become a senior? 50? 55? 60? 65? or other? Do you look forward to senior discounts or are you horrified by qualifying for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fr_Chuck Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Love my AARP card, love my senior drinks and meals when eating out. And as for as discounts it will vary by company. Most if I just show my AARP card give me mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfShadow Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 What is your philosophy on when you become a senior? 50? 55? 60? 65? or other? Do you look forward to senior discounts or are you horrified by qualifying for them?On my 50th birthday my brother who is 12 years older sent a card that said "Now that you are a junior senior citizen" I called him up and told him since he was a senior senior I forget he had the wrong date on the card. He said my twin nieces whose birthday is the day after mine already got on him about it. But seriously age is only relevant if you let it be.

After Obama is elected, WHY?Makes me glad to be senior, may make me eligible for more of your money. Hopefully.My Dad, a staunch Republican, proud veteran, respected inner city homicide detective, treasurer of his golf club, Commander in Chief of his VFW post, beloved father, grandfather and friend would not have been able to enjoy his life for the last eight years, well seven, (he died last February),if we had not been able to help financially. Despite serving his country, working hard all of his life, raising four children and working part time till the very day he took ill at 78 would NEVER have been able to make it through the Bush administrations reign.His medication alone (and he was HEALTHY), would have broken him. How in the world can a weeks worth of medication cost two hundred dollars? Blame that on someone else if you like but Bush the Gone had eight years to fix it among other things.My father had a modest apartment, simple tastes, an eight year old car and an ever present smile. He outwardly frowned on "handouts". We tried to make sure this proud man didn't have to ask if he needed. Surely Mr. Bush need not take responsibility for everything that has gone horribly wrong in the last eight years but there is much he can take credit for.Good Riddance.

Do you look forward to senior discounts or are you horrified by qualifying for them?According to AARP, I'll be senior in January, when I turn 50.But there's days I feel like 19 and others like 80.So live your life like there's no age and live, love and be happy.

Sky Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 About a month before my 50th birthday, a AARP letter came in the mail and unfortunately for me, my kids saw it first. They had GREAT fun with. I get the mail every day now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsukino_Rei Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 ...or when youre looking for your glasses and discover you have them on! I lost my mobile phone this morning - spent half an hour searching the house for it before finally going to work without it. Later in the office it rang and I discovered I'd tucked it into my bra.
