so yesterday I'm rolling south thru the 'root with 105.9 Jack FM ( they play mostly classic rock and cater to "that" crowd) on the radio. I'd set the cruise to the speed limit because the roads were bare and dry and Steppenwolf was on with "Born to be wild" - which can tend to make the G-ride roll a bit "freer".... anyway, just as that song ended, an ad came on...... by Walgreens encouraging you to stop by so they could help you with your medicaid part d...... that made me blink a few times in contemplating the totality of all that had just occurred....

Say it ain't so Rankin!

I have Medicare Part D also, ah the shame of it all.

Not to highjack the thread, BUT

I had this album on 8-Track, and this cut ALWAYS resulted on 100+ MPH

Last night coming back from a surveying chapter meeting there was one of those all to common "male performance enhancement" commercials on the radio. The female on the radio bragging about her man had the usual sultry voice but I swear the dialog was a barely sanitized Penthouse forum story.

I though "holy crap" it's is damned near straight up radio porn and they are using that to sell their products. I about ran in the ditch at some of it.

They may take medacaid but I didn't get the number.

When I turned 50 I started getting invitations from The American Association of Retired Persons. My wife signed me up, saying they have some nice benefits & discounts on things. I told her I should retire now, since, you know, the association is for "retired persons". She was not pursuaded by my unimpeachable logic.

It could have been worse. ?ÿThe commercial could have been for adult diapers or something involving the prostate.

I'm getting "Senior Discounts" without asking for them. I don't even try to go to the local Albertsons on Thursday, it takes forever being senior day. I quit going to the local Taco Johns on Thursday also because of that, however, this Thursday I found myself absentmindedly in line and ordering. SWMBO says it's my hair color that "gets" me the discounts,,,,,,,,,so I put my stocking cap on and go through the line,,,,,,,,,they didn't apply the discount,,,,,,, ?????ÿ felt really good, I'm calling the extra dollar I paid?ÿa win.

It won't surprise me when I see a "10$ off coupon" for the next Stones concert on the side of a box of Depends.

I knew I was getting old when young women starting holding the door open for me.

Or when I got my new glasses frame and couldn't decide to get the gold or white gold style and the kid helping me said, "Why not get the silver to match your hair?"

I knew that I was OLD, when the hot bartenders and cocktail waitress' started flirting with me!

Oh well, it's actually kinda fun...

Someone is terribly confused.

Read that on the internet. (an Abraham Lincoln quote)
