What's not springy around here is my step, apparently. The day before my birthday I received my official membership card for the AARP. For those who don't know, that is the American Association of Retired Persons (read: OLD FOLKS). The age requirement to actually join "the club" is 50. As in five-zero. The card has been sitting on my counter for the past two weeks taunting me. This is not a new phenomenon around here. Some how the word has gotten out that I am a retired Senior Citizen. I get letters from retirement investment specialists, assisted living centers, golf communities in Florida, funeral planners - you name it! But on my birthday? What a mean trick! This is one card I am happily cutting up because I am still a Spring Chick!
Stay tuned . . . tomorrow I have a fun riddle in store.

Your AARP card is an absolute hoot!
However, I noticed that they spelled your first name "SAMATHA."
Perhaps the card you are about to cut up belongs to some "elderly lady" who has been waiting for it...
Alternatively, if you keep the card, you can get great discounts on hotel rooms, etc. - and a huge number of compliments on how someone of your 50+ years can look so great!
Tough times call for creative thinking!
I wouldn't worry about the AARP card...they have been sending me things for the past couple of years and I am 27.
I think they should focus a little more on where they get their info... :)
It doesn't really count if they spell your name wrong on the card and they certainly fouled that one up!
I hope your sick duck (kiddo) is feeling better.
Spring chick Samatha,
When you turn 50, I hope you get a stash of diaper coupons in the mail.
Then balance of the universe will again be restored.
That is funny!
Wow, I could save a lot of money with a card like that!
Btw: I hope you don't get really sick!!
AARP huh? Well . . .at least you are retired!! Cash in on that Social Security before it goes bye bye!
When you do turn 50 you will say, "I don't feel that old?" You will probably still feel like a "spring chick" Your perception that 50 turns you into one of those "Old Folks" is really a misperception.
T thinks you should keep the card for the discount and see the looks on people's faces when you present it to them.
It would be worth the story.
HA HA HA HA HA!!
Insert me LAUGHING OUT LOUD as I read this! Wish I knew how to do this to Ryan because he'd totally freak out! You know how he freaked out about the IDEA of owning a minivan. This would be the ultimate taunt!
