Recalling a few posts back about how young everyone is and another on what are the best songs for us, what do you think about these: "the best songs for those over 50"? Of course, it's from AARP so beware!

It looks like AARP is looking for more of the younger baby boomers to join!

I’m glad I bailed also!


Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.

The first version I heard of "Gangsta Paradise" was a parody called "Al Gore's Paradise".

I like the Al Gore version better.

How ironic - as one of the younger members of this circle, I like the AARP !!! They're interested in trying to help preserve the Social Security system I think we all deserve to have (even if the politicians use that money for their OWN purposes instead of what it was designed for) - don't know where you guys stand, but I can't imagine people working at BJ's, McDonald's and Costco - nice people with lower potentials or opportunities than others, funding their own retirment. Ultimately, thought, the taxpayer will fund their needs one way or another - even if that has to occur at Emergency Rooms and other disability and welfare programs.

But back to AARP - they have interesting articles in their publications also - I always read my mother-in-laws copy and enjoy it : )

I quit because they supported the tax on Social Security. That was passed during the Clinton administration.
