Finally qualified for my grocery's Senior Discount program.

Told the clerk I was tired but had to drag myself to the store of Thusday, so I could get my first 5% off.

I asked her if she needed to see my ID.

She replied "No."

Damn.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
