AARP sent me a recruitment letter today.

I'm 35.

I'm hurt.

1. I am sorry ...

but I loved so hard ... then I realized I am about 10 years away from you ...

2. They're just priming you.

They started sending me things in the mail when I turned 40. I used to think it was funny. Today, I'm in one of their Medicare Part D plans.

3. You mean I'm going to get mail from them

for the next FIFTEEN YEARS???????

Oy.

[zanne]

4. Don't let it get you down.

You're young. Vital. Supple. You have a future. They just want you to keep in mind that, before you know it, YOU'LL BE OLD, TOO! (Sorry to be so mean, but I'm just an old lady; what else do I have?)

5. I got one when I was 35 too!

I know - what the hell? :D

6. On the bright side,

they seem to be convinced we're going to be able to retire at 50.

Hell, I don't know if I'll even have *tenure* by the time I'm 50.
