AARP... Take your card and shove it!

[ThirtyAcres]

I don't have a problem with USING anti-gun or whatever organizations IF it benefits me. Bob

Ditto.

I USE Ebay, Craig's List (ebay is 25 per cent owner), and PayPal to my advantage.

If you can't wear Levi's, can't use PayPal, can't shop at Hallmark, can't watch CNN, can't read your local newspaper, can't visit Silver Dollar City in Branson, can't patronize your local store because they post anti CCW signs, and can't eat Ben and Jerry's ice cream, soon all there is left to do is sit in a dark room and eat the putty out of the window sills.

I pick my battles. If there is an alternative to an anti-gun business, I use it and I tell the owner that I shop there because they are gun-friendly.

I took a pass on anything further they had to say a while back, when they began advising seniors who were accosted to vomit, urinate and defecate on the individual assaulting them. This as a response, rather than advising them to arm themselves in order to level the playing field. By their own words, you shall know them, and all that.

I'm glad that they spend their money sending me junk mail. I never respond.

Didn't we have a thread about that some time ago? I had forgotten about it. Good, now you got me all pissed again.

Bassamatic...

I do what I can to bring a little excitement into an otherwise dull existence.

 

[BLACKHAWKNJ]

My mother looked into joining them years ago, but she backed off when she found the organization was run in a very undemocratic and authoritrian fashion.

 

[Kirmdog]

Creole is spoken in Haiti not Louisiana. Some Cajuns speak French. Not as many as there were many years ago before the state department of education tried to eradicate it.

I stand corrected. I did a google of Cajun languages and Creole came up. I'll never believe any information I get anymore from search engines!

I was in the army with a guy that sounded like Boomhauer on King of the hill TV show and he was Cajun. Nicest guy but I couldn't understand a word he said and he never smiled either. Hope he's doing well.

[Mickey D]

Geez, I'm 52 and I feel left out, as I haven't received a thing from AARP.

 

[Spotteddog]

Well Mick,
Either your in the witness protection program, or your the first 50+ American ever been heard of to be spared the indignity!
Leave your mailing address with Lee, I'm sure we can cause your letter carrier a hernia by Labor Day.
(Your not still trying to dodge them by using an APO?)

 

[red14]

I'm 58, they never sent me anything. Been sending stuff to my wife since she was 47-48.

 

[therevjay]

I put everything into the postage paid envelope and mail it back to them.

So do I. Works great with propaganda from "The Brady bunch" too. (also add some NRA info to the envelope!)

 

[WR Moore]

I once had an issue with unwanted mail from an insurance company. They ignored polite requests to stop. They stopped after I used their postage paid return stuff to mail them a concrete block. I did have a minor problem with a clerk getting the post office to send it. The postmaster OK'd the transaction.

 

[Rangerpat]

I did the same as rond for about a year after I turned 50, haven't heard from them going on seven years now... just mail their crap back to them!

 

[ancient-one]

I finally cured them of sending me their crap. Yesterday my wife got a card and application. She allowed me to do the reply. If the card went to the suggested destination we shouldn't see it again. I also gave them a few choice words about their agenda.

 

[Wingwiper]

Just tore up their latest mailing today. I should have put the little pieces in their envelope and mailed 'em back. I'll do better next time

 

[charlie sherrill]

I actually joined this one time. I was hoping to be able to use some of the discounts but never had the occasion. Once I found out who and what these people are I started doing as rond earlier suggested. The last one I sent back a couple of years ago had a brick in it. I don't get their mailers anymore nor will I ever buy their insurance.

"AARP card? We ain't got no AARP card. We don't need no AARP card. I don't have to show you any stinking AARP card!"

 

[handejector]

they began advising seniors who were accosted to vomit, urinate and defecate on the individual assaulting them.

Do I need a permit?
Will other states recognize my right to vomit, urinate, and defecate?

Am I supposed to do one, or all?
Is there a preferred order?

I can see how I can vomit or urinate on someone, but I am having trouble with the defecation.
Is there a recommended stance?

Will I have to lock this thread now?

 

[red14]

""I can see how I can vomit or urinate on someone, but I am having trouble with the defecation.

Parade rest.


""Will I have to lock this thread now?""


At least wait until I have posted.

 

[Spotteddog]

I thank the boss for not locking it until trying to clarify the AARP's position!
Sure wish they would have told us what order we were to do it in though?
