hairbear Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Sadly, I can't join with or without my mother's permission. I'm a mere 58 years old. I DO have an AARP Card though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYSkyliner Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 Sadly, I can't join with or without my mother's permission. I'm a mere 58 years old. I DO have an AARP Card though... I can't join either. I'll soon be 65 but both my parents are no longer with us. Oh well, in just over 5 years I'll be elligible (sp). I'm just not too thrilled with their "Behavior Code".

JimF-LowBari Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 See ya in 2027..... Good thing there's nothing about "replacement parts" like knees, hips and (in my case) toe joints. By I did notice Behavior Code #5 is missing.... Got my AARP card too.. even if I ain't retired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
