Just think of it this way...AARP has stooped to robbing the cradle in their headlong rush for new revenue sources!

Thank goodness I am Canadian and we don't have this AARP. Is it like a lodge that you belong to and have to wear a strange hat or learn a secret handshake with fellow members?

Haha. My wife got an offer for a hearing test that still pisses her off. I'll be 50 in 3 years and am thinking of buying my 50th watch now. The scooter can wait.

Kind of - you need to always be concerned about health coverage and re-mortgaging your house. The members also need to be fixated on falling and not being able to get up. Trick is that they have to do all this and appear to be the new hipster generation.
