I thought turning 50 this year pretty much sucked. That was until I found out how many places I can use my AARP card and save 10%. Whoo Hooo!

I turned 50 this year too! And I don't have the benefit of a card to make suck any less. However, I refuse to act my age. I'm still goin' like I was 35. Just gotta hide the aches and pains now..lol.

good evening lofters

I see so many posts talking about 50's , well they say 50's is 40's these days . I personally , believe it's the state of mind of your age . when I was in my 40's I acted like I was in late 30's . Now, in my 50's I feel older . I have my family which is my son and my grandchildren . My seven months old granddaughter can stand any men except my son . It's family joke when my son said to me . " well , I already know she will be lesbian like you " , I don't believe it , but it's nice to know he is so open to idea and would be excepting her lifestyle if happens , since he was raised by two mothers .

anyway , just droping by and I hope everyone has a great weekend .

love to all

I don't mind it at all, I love getting discounts! In fact, I shop at my local grocery store on a certain day of the week to get an EXTRA 15% off, and whenever I go to a restaurant (even fast food drive-thru lanes!) I ask for their "Senior Discount". I get anywhere from 10-20% off my bill!

The funniest thing that happened was back when I was in FL, and my ex-partner and I had gone to Denny's one night. I figured I would just order off the Senior menu, and then SHE said she was going to as well! (and she is not yet 50, so doesn't merit the "senior status" yet, and in fact she CRIES when she talks about how she is scared and depressed at being 49 next Feb!). She DOES like a bargain, though, so is not adverse to a white lie to get one!

Okie - when I travel (and I travel quite a bit) - I always get more of a discount with my AARP card than with the AAA - and I've gotten as much as 40% off by doing a little haggling....

Hi people,
I hope all is well with all of you. I hope all of you had a Thanksgiving not like mine. My daughter and her hubbie came and belive me it wasn't a nice Thanksgiving. It will take some time for my heart heals from her crap.Her and I got in to it 3 times. What am I thankful for....They left the day after Thanksgiving. One of the things-I brought Jon some candy he likes and was going to give it to him so I disn't have to pay postage. Shelly,my daughter, informed me They DID NOT like that candy. I said well I gave Jon some last year and he seemed to be happy about it. She told me NOT TO get them any thing. There was nothing they needed or wanted. Because,they just go out and buy what they need and want. If I give or send them any thing it will get returned. She blew up again and I said well never mind shelly I'll take care of it. She said something to me and I said I'll take care of it. I told her to scue it Shelly and tossed the candy in the trash can. She also told me she will not pay for my casket and so on. (I had told er my life Ins was made out to her but she would have to pay the rest of what my life Insurance will not pay. What a duirty look I got from her. I asked her if her and Jon got there blood typ done to see if they matched my blood typ. She more or less told me to go to H**l. She didn't like my friend Kodey who ate Thanksgiving with us. She pulled more crap but,I know you have a feeling what all had gone on.Some of You know the trouble I have had with the family. Honest to God I wanted to grab her and shake the stuffing out of her.She really had me ticked. Pluse,my Mom had one of her heart spells from all the crap from her. I belive Shellys money has gone to her head pluse his money to. I love my daughter very much but,my Kidney Dr. was me to try to stay away from stresful stuff. It makes my kidneys slah off even more.
I'm having test done to see if I can get a kidney. My kidneys are only 24% working. If it drops to 10% that willn't substan life.
Take care and be safe,

It is hard do to my Mom isn't to get up set. Shelly,my daughter,called he two times but didn't talk to me. I enjoyed my daughter when she was little. I rember those day. They would good. I could tell her things about the family but,I think it would hurt her and distory her. I think her hubbie is controling her from what I seen when they was here. I don't like him at all. I don't trust him. My mother found out today ibehind 1 eye she has a blood clot the othere eye has a groth. so,I don't know what all is going on.~~~~
