AARP -- me???

Many years ago, I found myself inexplicably on the AARP mailing list. I get new membership cards from them every year, in fact. Last year, I decided I was tired of it and mailed it back to them with an "I'M ONLY 40!!!!" written across the front of the card in sharpie. It didn't help because I'm still getting their stupid mailings. And even better? They must sell their mailing lists because I get frequent emails from hearing aid centers.

My hearing is excellent, in case you were wondering. And no, not because I bought a hearing aid! Sheesh.

It doesn't take long to read the fine print and fill out the opt out info! Or maybe they have some grand ole plan for you and you just need to jump on the bandwagon.

Question is, can you read the fine print? LOL, just kidding. That's hysterical that you get stuff from AARP. When I worked at ThomasArts those boring AARP and Secure Horizons mailers were my life. And we had to keep the font at least a 12 for the small type! That is HUGE!! Most fine print is like a 5. I bet I worked on some of the ones you got in the mail even.

If it makes you feel better, Phil and I get stuff from AARP. Yeah. I don't know how or why, but we do. I don't even bother opening it.
