The answer was "nothing" unless you want travel discounts, hotel deals, things like that. Or a Medicare supplement plan. I'm still nowhere near Medicare age and I don't travel. So, the AARP snail mail goes into the shredder. I'm kind of surprised you signed up for AARP twice. Also surprised you're surprised you're being bombarded with emails and snail mail. You invited them! Good luck getting off their list. Jill |

My brother pointed out we don't heal as we did > when we were kids. I let the idea die a quiet death. So true. The older we get the longer it takes to recover. I chipped my knee cap when I was 13 and was in a cast for a couple weeks. I broke my collar bone at 51 and was off work for two months. A few years later I broke some ribs and it took even longer to heal. I had a serious talk with my buddy about fitness. We were bother pretty active before the pandemic, playing pickleball three times a week. We both gained weighed an slipped out of shape with the lockdown. I have been getting back into things lately, bicycling and playing outdoor pickleball. He has not. He wants to get back at things and I had to point out to him that it has been 5 months for him, so he is going to have to take it east. I am having enough trouble getting back into shape but I am worried that if he rushes back into things to hard and too fast he is going to get hurt, and then he is going to learn the hard way about the lower healing. |

My wife's father was 48 when she was born. I used to work with a guy who split up with his wife when his daughters were in their teens. He hooked up with a much younger woman and started over. One day I had to go back to the shop with one of my new co-workers and we were talking to Joe and he told us that his wife was going to have a baby in a few weeks. My new co-worker asked him how old he was... 55. New co-worker looked at him and asked "Are you fucking nuts?" The kid would be going in to Grade 5 when Joe hit 65, and into high school when he is 72. Then it would hit university when Joe was 75, graduating at 78 or so. Give him or her a couple years to settle down and start raising a family and Joe would be in his 80s. |

The cheaper the meat, the more admiration it gains. On that basis, the story sounds even more impressive if you paid $2 for fifty chiken pieces. For top marks you have to fight off a dog from a carrier bag of chicken parts in a back street. |

"Surfer" wallets. Those are pretty popular on this rock and have been for decades. I dumped my old leather wallet and use a new fangled card carrying thingie in my front pocket. Keeping a fat-assed wallet in your ass pocket is just asking for trouble. https://www.amazon.com/Aluminum-Minimalist-Wallet-Blocking-Credit/dp/B079KN29PP/ |

A security card that doesn't have to be pulled out would be a good thing. If you ask me, your security card should be your cell phone. For added security, your location would be tracked at all times when in the building or when you're out. |

That gave my wife PTSD. Is there anything more traumatizing to a daughter than daddy licking their plate? I think not. I'm older than John and I figured out how to get the old GG appearance back. Sure, I only have one degree, but I've actually been working in that field for the last 20 years. There's a difference between being intelligent and being smart. Cindy Hamilton |

My guess is that intelligent people are not interested in talking about other people. Stupid people are. |

I went to the store this morning and picked up 3 chickens and 10 pounds of frozen turkey parts (drumsticks and wings). Later today I'll roast the chicken; tomorrow I'll make chicken stock. Next weekend I'll roast the turkey parts and make turkey stock. I would have preferred a whole turkey, but they're hard to come by this time of year. One store in town had Jennie-o brand, but those always come with a load of chemicals that make the stock taste weird. Cindy Hamilton |
