    I'm Seriously Depressed!

    What the heck! I got an AARP card in the mail.....Am I really there?
    Do I jump for joy at having made it this far?... Is it my first notice of impending death? Do I go hogwild and do a bunch of dumb stuff?

    AARP isnt for me...it's for my parents....

    Does it stand for Armed and Really Pissed?

    Nope....I choose to chuck it! No way and no how am I going to actually use it.

    I'm depressed.......

    It can be helpful when touring. I use it to get discounts at motels while on the road.

    Re: I'm Seriously Depressed!

    I've got other reasons for being depressed because of my age, but ultimately, it's all in how you look at it.

    Carl has the best idea. I hope to have done some awesome touring before I get my AARP discount card, but I will definitely use it when the time comes.

    I would have to go with mtnairlover on this one. I try not to think about the fact that kids I used to babysit are graduating HS...or the couple of different careers I have had...I just want to stay in shape, and ride as much as I can for as long as I can.

    Re: I'm Seriously Depressed!

    Don't feel bad, I've been getting my Social Security updates and AARP requests for a few years now. I think it is related to my recent hip replacement but have yet to prove that theory.The wifey thinks it's funny, till I remind her she is only 3 years younger than I. Now not so funny. Hang in there, it will all be over in a few decades.

    Let me tell you something about being depressed. It is not about getting an AARP card. If it is, then I m mailing one to each and every one of you fuckers. MY wife is old enough to get them. Hell, she is on the steering committee for AARP with Moses and Pandora

    I think depressed is the wrong word at this point. I'm insulted....if they think I'm going down easily, they are sadly mistaken.

    After this, it's bungee and skydiving.....or maybe a little Coyote Ugly dancing. nah!

    What age qualifies for Super FOG status?

    I've been getting invites to join the AARP for a few years now. I save them to show my mom because she's in denial about how old really I am.
