Reality came crashing in today

[chirurgeon]

In the form of junk mail. An application for the AARP. Just another reminder my 50th birthday is coming up this year. Very rude in my estimation.

Kim

[MenashaCorp]

Aw- 50 is the new 30. :goodvibes :hug:

[Eganclan]

My SIL and I have birthdays one day apart and we have already been warning family and friends that we plan on celebrating our 50th with all of them in WDW. Hope that you are planning something fun.

[Chuck S]

Thank goodness I can join in a few months and get some travel discounts. :cool1:

[Annette_VA]

Oh, heck..I got an application years ago and I'm only 36!

[KittyKitty]

You will be able to join a very exclusive, powerful, legislative changing organization! I have been a member for 9 years now, and can't believe all the discounts I get from car insurance, home owners insurance, travel, internet service,.....

Every decade just gets better and better!!!

[BRobson]

I feel the pain ;)

I was trying on a jacket in a shop today and my DD who is 8 told me I had to buy it as it made me look sooooo young :scared1: I did not feel old until then - I am only 37:scared1:

[TriMom]

:rotfl: If it makes you feel any better - I was a member from 1979-1982.

Somehow my Grandmother found a loophole where she would get free pantyhose if she signed up her grandchildren. I have no idea how she got around the membership fees. I am pretty sure I was the only card carrying AARP member who was age 6!!! (I also inherited an unwrapped pair of the AARP hose when she passed away!):lmao:

Don't worry about we're only as old as we feel - and act. I guess that makes me about 12.

[chirurgeon]

:Don't worry about were are only as old as we feel - and act. I guess that makes me about 12.


You're right. Let's face it, how old can any of us feel when we are at the Happiest Place on Earth, or planning on going there, or thinking about going there, or wishing we were going there, or being jealous of the others going there. Well, you get the picture.

I wonder if Dreams Unlimited gives AARP discounts, hhhhmmmmmm:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Kim

[parrotheadlois]

Been there, done that for both of us. No big deal if you're young at heart.:bday:

[calypso*a*go-go]

Hey Kim...I'm not too far behind you and fill less than thrilled about my "eligibility status" as well!

[wildeoscar]

I joined AARP this year, at 37... great discounts. Call me old, see if I care when I get half off a room.

[Launchpad11B]

You asked so here goes...... you're old.

[Bouncing4Tigger]

I have been recieving those since I have been about 37:confused:

I'd care. When I pay for a whole room, I want a whole room. ;)

[SamSam]

:thumbsup2 Love the discounts! And who says 50 is old! I'll be 55 this year and life just keeps getting better.

[TriMom]

:crazy2: Not only did I mistakenly use bad grammar (were are instead of we are or we're).....

IT WAS QUOTED!!!!

Please accept my edit and apology!

[rtobe]

:upsidedow Clearly you need to visit WDW to recover from the shock

[4theloveofdisney]

{{{hugs}}}

I just turned 40 this year and on my birthday my DD who is 8 asked me "Are you gonna die soon?" :eek:


:lmao:

Children are precious. :rotfl2:

[MenashaCorp]

:crazy2: Not only did I mistakenly use bad grammar (were are instead of we are or we're).....

I look forward to the day I can officially call myself an old fart...my kids have been calling me that for years.

Hi Kim,

I'll be turning 50 this August as well. I took my first solo trip to WDW last August for my 49th birthday and will be returning this year for my 50th. I bought my first annual pass last year and stayed 5 days (on the birthday trip - later on the same pass I stayed 10 days in Dec./Jan. This year in celebration of the big day, I will be doing a 10 day solo trip (no way my hubby will go to Florida in August, but that doesn't stop me anymore). I will be doing the deluxe dining plan, going to the Luau and Hoop De Doo, and having dinner at the Castle. Hopefully, WDW will add Pirate and Princess Parties again for August and I will do one of those as well.

[Stitchfans]

Yep last year I recieved it also. A real kick in the pants, huh? :rotfl2:

Just kidding. As as the saying goes, "We aren't getting older, we're getting better" or something like that. :laughing:

[*Emily*]

One of my brothers signed my mom up for her 50th birthday... she was less than thrilled about it!

[vellamint]

lol - My DH just got one in the mail also!! Not me though - I have a cool year and two months to go.....yessireee

It's obvious that you are in dire need of some pixie dust and magic!!! :laughing:

[chirurgeon]

At this point, I'm thinking Will is in more need of pixiedust: than me. After all, I'm going to be qualified for all of those discounts. He needs to qualify for the Witness Protection Program.

I just spewed tea all over my monitor......:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[Dale-Not-Chip]

If you think that's bad wait to your about 6 months from turning 65.

Watch out about AARP Ins. often not a very good deal if you shop around.

[GabbyMom]

In the form of junk mail. An application for the AARP. Just another reminder my 50th birthday is coming up this year. Very rude in my estimation.

Kim

I joined at 21.

My parents have them as their motor club and when I got my license they gave it to me as a gag. Cracked up the cop who gave me a ticket after my accident a few years ago.

[dis75ney]

My DS got an AARP application when he was 9 months old! That was quite the interesting conversation with the AARP rep... :lmao:

[mjperry]

Just Remember if you were a regular person you would have need to worrie, but you a Disney fan and as you know true disney fans never grow old they never stop having fun they are like fine wine getting better with age.
