How about getting mail for a member of your family who has been dead for 30 years wanting them to donate? That happens a lot here and occationally mail for my Dad who has been gone over 50 years. I would like to think of something to send them.

When I could I joined. Quit after the first year. They have a political "bent" that I did not agree with. Place like that should not be political IMO.

Until I moved, I'd get soliciting calls for my father, "May I speak to Arthur?" "No, HE'S DEAD." Stopped them every time!

Funny thing is that my father never lived with me, I only handled his estate stuff from my address. Still I'd get a load of junk mail to him at my address. And when I moved from NJ to PA, I thought it would end. Nope, some did a change of address for him, so he's still with me in spirit.

The ones that really burn my backend are the crematoriums with their pay-now-burn-later scams. I REALLY don't need that kind of mail. I just DON'T need to be thinking about that right now!

Like "Southpier" says, "Embrace the moment". ;-)

Yesterday was the day before my 35th birthday I repeat 35th birthday I received a piece of mail from AARP now I know I am no spring chicken but WOW. I think william burroughs said it well " time hits the lowest blow and its below the belt"

Geez, Dave. Only 35? I've got socks (and model kits) older than you!

You got a long ways to go, lots of kits to build....

Last year, out of the blue, the geniuses at Maricopa County animal care and control sent me a late notice for my dog license fees, $435.00. I sent them a note in the envelope that said, "I really loved that dog, but she's been dead for 11 years now. But hey, thanks for reminding me."

My neighbor has a good way of dealing with junk mail... not only AARP, but anyone who includes a postage paid return envelope.

Just stuff all the ###### into the postage-paid return envelope and drop it in the mail. Don't fill anything out, leave it all blank. Just put it all (including those fake "membership cards" they sent you) into the return envelope and drop it in the mail...

Hey, how come its OK for Harry to say BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH, but if I say BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH I get a warning point ? I think that's BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH !

Me too, that's exactly what I do... including the envelope it came in. It actually works. The more alert companies get the message and quit sending you junk.

This subject came up today as i am 4 weeks away from my 50th birthday. My teenager daughter says she is looking forward to my birthday and me getting an AARP card so we can get discounts.

I reminded her that in my case, AARP will take on a new meaning when she brings a boy home- Armed And Really Pissed !

If we all did this the US Postal Service could start making money again ! I get several pounds of that stuff every week, from now on back it goes

While I'm not a "Junior" my dad and I share the same name short of the middle initial. We're 30 years apart, and AARP start soliciting when you're 50...so many years ago I was a happy go-lucky 20 year old hanging out in my bachelor 1 bedroom apartment when one day the AARP decided that I needed to join. That was the start of a series of various solicitations, credit card offers, etc aimed at my dad that I proceeded to receive 87 miles away from my parent's house.

Sometimes i wonder about all those awful insurance plans commercials because some of them look like they are still playing from 1991, i mean my whole tv cringes and goes to full screen mode every time its an elderly insurance company commercial or some sort of local law offices. Dont these people ever update their commercial?

[doctor phillips]

Just wait till you receive the hearing aid offers, the pre-paid creamation offers, the "help! I've fallen and can't get up" Life Alert offers. I've been getting those for years.

Just bury me in my paint booth...

Nah nah nah nah...the moderator wrote a bad word !!! Nah nah nah nah.

That is not a bad word. T.L. Crapper is often associated with innovation of the modern day toilet. One of it's original names was "The Crapper", named after him. You boys got your minds in the gutter.

On topic, If the OP got one of these at 35, then they are almost three years late inviting me. I just may have to decline their offer...if it ever gets here.
