It's depressing as hell to check your spam folder and see an email from 'Seniordating' with a subject line saying, "Meet attractive singles age 50+ Join Free" and realize that they are talkin' to ME...that they consider ME a SENIOR!!!!!! It says 'SeniorPeopleMeet.com" and shows two old farts. I'm thinkin' I better head to WallyWorld and get some Coke cuz I'm gonna be in a funk all day that only Crown and Coke will prolly be able to cure... I mean, WTF!!!!!!!!

I started getting AARP mailings 10 years ago!!!

Now, that was depressing...

Posted by DEL GUE (Member # 1526) on June 03, 2011, 09:00 AM:

Yeah, I got some of those, too. [Frown]

And about 2 years ago I went to Sonny's Real-pit No-Shit BBQ and when I checked out I thought what I had ordered must have been on special or somethin'. I got outside and looked at my ticket and they had given me the Senior Citizen Discount!!

I went home and stared at myself in the mirror for a whole hour trying to figure out what they were seeing that I couldn't...

It gets worse, Del.

Posted by DEL GUE (Member # 1526) on June 03, 2011, 09:38 AM:

Huh??? It get's worse?? How..exactly??? [Confused]

To hell with the grim truth, Leonard..I need support right now, man!!! Whisper sweet lies in my ear and blow smoke up my ass!!!

I need to still think I'm Da Man!!!!

Wait a minute...I am still Da Man, dammit!!!!

To hell with this...I'm off on a Coke run.

There is still being King of the Leisure Suit crowd, and you are positioned already in Florida, so there's no real culture shock, just a few more walkers and oxygen tanks. The trick is to stay active and regular.

Yep, a good shit first thing every morning is priceless......as long as it doesnt happen in your shorts.

You old farts are funny.

I'm not sure y'all are helpin to dispel my blue funk...all you've done is get me thinking that my life is turning to shit.

Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on June 03, 2011, 11:50 AM:

We don't need that, what with the #1 cause of death among coppers. Take it easy on the Royal Crown, it makes decisions easier.

I'm being facetious, my friend. I'm as cheery as a wren! But thanks for the concern. [Smile]

Although I am looking forward to being able to play in the old farts softball league one of these days!

Age and experience will defeat youth and exuberance every time (kids don't have the patience to wait on us old farts). AARP? I stuff all their junk into their post paid return envelope and send it back. Let them fill their trash can.

That's exactly what I did and haven't received anything from them at my postal address again. Still occasionally get some at my rental properties.

I have been reading all the suggestions, sending the ads back, to Verizon, Chase and Wells Fargo and a dozen others. That requires a certain commitment that I lack.

i sent WaMu and Chase some flattened cat shit once. that stopped them from sending me stuff.
Del, you may look like an old fart but you have the move n groove of a youngster [Wink]

Posted by Ken (Member # 3065) on June 03, 2011, 01:57 PM:

Del I think your fibbing about being depressed because of the age thing.

I think when you get to pull out your drivers license for your SENIORS discount at the local food eatery, you get ALL excited.

Come on, tell the truth????

If your dying your hair monthly, YOU might need to see Dr.Phil.

bearhunter,
I used to have a friend, and last year on my birthday she told me, "Roses are red, violets are blue, you don't act like you're 52!".

Ken,
Sonny's gave me the discount without even asking to see my D.L.!! And I went to the state fair last year with a couple friends. The carnival dude running a booth guessing ages just inside the gate looked at my friends, who are approaching 40, and guessed me at 65!! (My friend won a stuffed frog for that one...)

Paul,
I DO got a hair or two (that's a double suppository!!)...they just ain't commonly visible . [Wink]

I'm still trying to decide whether to braid them or not. [Big Grin]

Go with the braids I remember a girl back in the 60's that had her armpits that way.

AARP is nothing but the old folks' union.

Posted by claimbuster (Member # 904) on June 04, 2011, 04:14 PM:

Wait until all the cute young things working in restaurants give you the senior discount without you asking! [Big Grin]

Posted by DEL GUE (Member # 1526) on June 04, 2011, 05:27 PM:

I guess I'm up for anything involving cute young things... [Razz]

Posted by Paul Melching (Member # 885) on June 04, 2011, 09:21 PM:

all aarp goes directly in the round file.

I just went to my 40th high school reunion, and I said to myself "Oh Shit. This is what I'm suppose to look like!!!" Every male in the room was either 40 lbs overweight or very wrinkled and old looking if they were still slim. I'm not bragging but I'm none of the above. I've lost a little hair and have a few wrinkles. As far as the ladies go they all looked overweight except three with one being the wife. Most looked pretty worn out too.

Posted by Possumal (Member # 823) on June 08, 2011, 02:24 PM:

Whoever it was that said life begins at 40 was one lying s.o.b. Being an old fart ain't so bad; it beats being a dead fart.

Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on June 08, 2011, 02:59 PM:

First of all, I don't mind looking at cute young things, but as far as making a fool of myself with one, I will pass. I just cannot relate to young and dumb, and they invariably ARE.

Give me a mature female. They seldom play stupid games, and at least can answer the question: Hey, where were you when the Challenger exploded? Or better yet, when Kennedy was shot? When they think of old time Presidents, and I mean Truman and Eisenhower, they mean Carter and Reagan. They might even think Kennedy served right after Lincoln was shot? It's even money that they would know that either of them was shot?

There is so much more to life than when I was twenty years old. Talk about "not a clue".

Old Farts? I give them a break when possible...guys like Paul, AR Shaw.
