My husband doesn’t even let me SEE the aarp stuff since I laid into him about the socialist rag they publish. Plus, I refuse to think I’m ...... OLD at just over 50.

[Gorzaloon]

Oh, AARP, the people who started mailing me solicitations when I was 49, or something like that.

The ones that told me when I get old(er), they want to make certain I am disarmed.

They can put in their dentures..

And Bite Me.

[Parley Baer]

Exactly the reason I never joined AARP. They are a bunch of liberals.

AARP The Magazine, the definite voice for 50+ Americans

Umm...50+? Most 50 year olds who can afford to retire aren't going to be reading AARP's magazine - most people that age would probably be insulted by the notion that the AARP considers them potential members. As human lifespan and the age at which the average American can work effectively go up, the AARP keeps trying to define senior citizenship down. Pretty soon they'll be pitching their magazine to 40 year olds.

[Zakeet]

No,no, no pics, please. I need to sleep tonight!

How about just one -- which just happens to be extremely flattering to the star reporter?

ps. I think she's the one on the left.

[mkjessup]

God is going to get you for that. LOL

[Larebil]

Is it me or does she look like the penguin from Batman Returns?

[K-oneTexas]

Helen Thomas? Inspires what?

My stomach doesn't feel good ... gotta run! /sarc

[Waco]

AARP SUX!!!!!!!!!!!

[LexBaird]

Maybe next year, Helen can win the AARP Expire award.

[vietvet67]

Wow! Look at that old bat.. :-)

[Red Badger]

That was originally a pic of Babe Ruth, I think..........She dated him.......
