    Today…it’s official !

    It was starting out as a regular day…woke up late…went to the mail box …..and there it was!

    At first I didn’t know what to make of the envelope…more junk mail?

    NO!! It was my Official Memebership Registration to……

    AARP!!!!!

    I’m not 49 yet!!! My one foot isn’t on a banana peel!

    Since I got the mail today…I’ve come to grips with the fact, I am truley a member of the OF Club…..

    Move over Putz… and quit drinking all the prune juice…

    Best thing to do Brian, is call them up and tell them to stop sending you their commie propaganda.

    Brian you know the old saying, “growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional” I live this and so should you!!!

    Play like a kid and you’ll always be one at heart.

    My one dissapointment is I don’t climb trees like I used too!

    “growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional”

    Welcome to the club Brian. I haven’t signed up yet even though I’m old enough but I haven’t grown up yet. Still like a kid when it comes to fishing [still get very excited, have to make extra bathroon trips before I get on the water as I’m excited, still spend more than I can afford on fishin goodies and fishing itself, still stay up too late at night on here even though I’m too tired in the am, still think that the next new lure is going to catch me more fish, so far still chose female walleyes over female human [still a divorced single and have had no dates in the last 13 years, and no I’m not gay, lol, bad disk in spine shrinks me some which means I’ll never get to grow up [taller] lol, can’t wait til the next fishin outting before I even get off the water, am really just a kid in a bigger body I think.
    Thanks, Bill

    Hey Brian, welcome to the old farts club. I haven’t written back to the aarp because i feel i don’t need them right now. I know theres deals on trips and motel rooms etc. but right now i don’t need them. I’ve been told both ways on the benifits that theres good deals and just more spam so i don’t know. Theres probably some good deals so maybe take a look. Im not much for any kind of change but maybe they do have a few things to offer, i’ll open thier mail when i get ready.

    That just tells you how old the people are that work for the aarp, older than the hills, Definately retired and can spell when they can remember, but can’t see right. Im getting all those symptoms!

    I can’t say welcome aboard yet, but you’ll get there soon enough. Then you can order off the kiddie menu but, believe me, you will walk away hungery.

    B.O.P. still lets me go out and play but you keep such strange hours after those kitties. Tough on OF’s. But as I used to tell my PETA friends at work, I get a little grumpy if I haven’t killed anything for a while and chasing ants around the yard just isn’t doing it anymore. Maybe I’ll get a fix on Mille Lacs this weekend.

    Hmmmm, it wasn’t that long ago when you kept longer night time hours than one …two in the morning!

    Chappy, I have something for you….

    Feel like 25, act like 15…but that’s where it ends!

    Hey Brian,
    You’re gettin there, but ya still got a few years to go.
    Remeber that light at the end of the tunnel, it’s not a tunnel those are cataracts, or there’s a smudge on the bifocals.

    Keep feeling as old as you act
