AARP is a socialist organization. Nursing homes ! I hope I never end up in one either.

I have always despised the saccharine, migraine-inducing term "ciggie." Unnngh.

“She smoked right up to the end, having her last cigarette just two days before her death.”
Um, two days isn't right before. Two minutes, now . . .

And I have had experiences lately with the MIL and hospitals and nurshing homes. Not a good place to end up in.

I started getting AARP invitations after my 49th birthday. I keep throwing it in the trash finally at 50 I responded with a rant about the socialist nature or AARP and how I would never associate with them and they quit sending me crap.

So the moral of this story is...
Eat, drink, smoke, be merry...
We're all going to die of something someday anyway...and most of us have no idea when.
Live it up!

We reach the point where "Enough is enough!" I get that mail from them too. Just hate it. I don't even open the envelope.

My grandmother lived to 100, and only quit smoking because she moved in with my mother, who had a congenital lung disorder. When my brother asked why she waited until age 97 to quit smoking, she said, "Son, those things will kill you!"
Genetics has to be at least part of the answer - "peasant stock" - but my mother apparently didn't inherit those particular genes, having passed on at the tender age of 84.
I may have some of them, because when I had a chest x-ray at 48, the doctor couldn't believe I was a smoker. So I quit while I was ahead. I'd been smoking since I was 14.

Send them a nasty gram and they will leave you alone. Mine was like,
Dear Socialist Geezer Patrol,
I do not wish to support your crappy organization and would deeply appreciate you removing me from your mailing list. Do it now before I file harrassment charges.
Sincerely
My Name Here

You don't inhale cigar smoke. You puff :-) My father died when he was almost 80 not from cancer but chemotherapy!

Actually, haven't heard from them in a while. But if I do, I'll give it a try. They are such an annoying bunch.
I'm ok with getting older, just not with getting gimmier.
