Welcome to the Lounge

• The AARP is more aggressive than ever, and you will join.
• If you live in the state of Ohio, you will shortly receive a Golden Buckeye discount card. It will only stay in your junk pile a short time before you decide to use the damned thing.
• The note of pleading in your voice to "Please card me" when you buy alcohol will become so pathetic, they actually do so.
• Young women now think you're harmless.
• The question is now "Why aren't you retired?" rather than "When are you going to retire?".

• AARP has kept an arms length away so far. Nor more mail than when I turned 50. However, my wife has been bombarded with Medicare supplemental insurance offers.
• I also live in Ohio, but never heard of the Golden Buckeye card.
  (I see they stopped issuing them temporarily in Oct 2021, I'll be getting one later this year)
• The last time I was carded to actually convince some one I was of age was about 36 years ago. Since then it's because they card everybody as a rule.
• Women find me harmless since I was married. I often bring my wife up in early conversation (in a positive way) just so there isn't any question.
• I find that conversations of retirement around me are more common. Mostly so the company isn't left in the lurch if I drop dead.
