"We love AMAC and when we used to get AARP literature wed take their SASE, stuff it full of AMAC literature and stick it in the mail. It took a couple years, but we dont AARP junk any more." I'm gonna have to try that (I belong to AMAC). I'm 71, and AARP has been sending me stuff since I was 50. It all gets trashed.

I have found that live generally improves as I get older. Yes, there may come a point at which physical infirmity or mental decline may kick in, but an older person who stays reasonably active has a reasonable chance of dodging those bullets as well.

When I was under 18 I considered combing baby powder into my hair to buy beer. Never actually tried it though.

Well, I have a contrarian tale.
I find that rather than disdain, I am commonly met with respect. It is obvious that I’ve been around a good while. People open doors. Cars stop to let me cross even when I motion them through.
There are numerous such examples such as those noted above.

The bleeding heart pseudo scientists busily at work to create another victim class. No doubt these age discrimination victims will be trained to vote for free government money by voting against straight whit Christian males like all the other victims

“We love AMAC.” “a little more information as to why?”
It’s the conservative alternative to AARP. That’s the #1 reason we decided to check into it. It has some good services, and if you want to check it out, here’s the website:

Yes; and there’s compensation in everything. Sometimes it’s relaxing - and useful! - to be ‘invisible’.
