That sounds like a great group.

Got my invite from AARP today

**Crankin** · 10-22-2009, 02:31 AM

Yea, it takes them awhile to give up, if you don't join. They finally stopped harassing me, but my DH, who is 3 years younger, still gets the pitch in the mail.
Something about that group gives me the creeps. I just don't want to be in any group that's main premise is that "we are old." I know I'm in my 50's, but let's not let that define me.

Ha ha, I got mine about 3 weeks ago.

So where are we having the big TE half-century party? Sounds like a lot of us are hitting that mark this fall.

I'm still on my recovery week after completing my final thing-to-do-before-I-turn-50. (Okay, okay, just creating a Facebook account isn't really "having a page," I have to actually put something on it... still have a bit of time to do that before my birthday...)

Now, how soon to do my first marathon? Decisions, decisions...

AARP is a strong political force. You might need that force someday.

I know that intellectually, but I don't want to admit to it.
In my mind, I am still that 15 year old flower child hanging out on the Boston Common.

yeah AARP used their political clout a few years back to make Medicare a nightmare with a donut in the middle.
Not to mention they have their hand in the pockets of the pharmaceutical monster.

Meh. I'll continue to support political forces who advocate for the poor and the disabled regardless of age. Even though they don't have the political power of the AARP.

I thought that's what TE was for

A nightmare with a donut in the middle?
Now all I can think about is Homer Simpson.

AARP isn't going away, now just take your discount card.

Mmmmm, donuts.

**BleeckerSt_Girl** · 10-22-2009, 01:53 PM

Here are the two new hives painted:

Now they are stacked in the basement, waiting for bees.

**chickwhorips** · 10-22-2009, 02:24 PM

I figured I'd "drift" in and say hi.

Hope everyone is doing good.

Pretty hives, your bees sure have some upscale digs!
