9 days. That's how long after my 50th birthday before I got my first invitation to join AARP. Holy crap, they must think I'm old or something. I'm certainly not a retired person, and I doubt I ever will be. If I do join, it will be to get the goodies. But after they got suckered by Bush on prescription drugs, I'm not sure I want to give money to people so gullible. Not when there's prime swampland in Florida to invest in or a bridge what needs buying in New York City.
