crap. just bought my first senior movie ticket.

[mopinko]

damn it. merry fucking christmas.

[Curmudgeoness]

1. LOL. Welcome to the world of discounts.

At least you are not denying that you qualify and paying full price for vanity's sake.

[mopinko]

5. i am a cheapskate.

i will be happy to take them.

[siligut]

2. Hell mopinko, I would lie if I could

Not really, not worth the guilt. One time my friend, who does qualify and was buying the tickets (I got lunch)just insisted that it would be fine. I felt so guilty, I never let her talk me into it again. Anyway, I agree with Curmudgeoness, take those discounts everywhere you can, you've earned them.

4. i have snow white hair. no teenager would question me.

of that i am quite sure. still.

[elleng]

3. Just hope I can GET to the movie I want to see; Fair Game, in VA,+

snow expected!

HAPPY to pay reduced rate, but do understand your p.o.v., mop.

:hi:

[mopinko]

6. oh, i wish i had gone with you! we saw tron.

a movie that people getting the senior discount should think twice about seeing! i have a headache.

[elleng]

7. Won't even try 'til Tues. Snow + distance + tax acct meet, earlier.

Sorry abt headache. I'm VERY selective abt movies; hardly see ANY!

[pacalo]

8. I know what you mean, mopinko. I teased my husband when he first started getting

AARP mailings. Now I'm getting them.

Quick ego fix: go to a grocery store to buy alcohol & they'll ask you for your i.d.! "Bless your heart, dear! I haven't been asked that since I was a teenager!". "Oh, we have to ask that", said the young man. Burst my bubble!

[mopinko]

9. yeah, that's the only way i get carded.

hubby just got his first aarp mailing the other day. he turned 50 last week. aarp has already given up on me.

[madrchsod]

10. "we are older and have more insurance"....

so you ready for the train to galena?

[Skittles]

11. a lot of fine people are denied the privilege of growing old

so suck it up, mopinko

[mopinko]

12. well, i guess you have got me there, skittles.

perhaps you can kick my husbands ass anyway. he is the one who bought the ticket.

[Skittles]

18. sure, I will kick his ancient wrinkled ass

anything for you my sweet; LEMME AT HIM

[mopinko]

21. i robbed the cradle.

he is just starting to wrinkle.

[kentauros]

13. You are confused, or the theater is.

What you bought was a "Señor" ticket and you should get it exchanged for a "Señorita" ticket :P

[mopinko]

15. yeah, yeah, that's the ticket!!

thanks.

[Arkansas Granny]

14. Don't feel bad. I don't have to ask for the senior discounts anymore.

They just give them to me automatically. However, it is kind of nice getting 5% - 10% off my ticket at some restaurants.

[dembotoz]

16. where i live the senior coffee at mc donalds is 50 cents

i have always prefered it to starbucks.....
perhaps the tastebuds are the first to go.


so enjoy it.
It won't belong before sarah palin starts maching us onto icebergs......
and with global warming that will be harder for her to do.

[mopinko]

20. no, their coffee is pretty good.

i don't usually buy anyone's coffee, because i work at home. but theirs is quite drinkable. especially by my standards- i need coffee that is brown and warm.

[DainBramaged]

17. Been there, and yes Santa reality sucks.....

:hug:

[mopinko]

19. you can say that again.

really, i am lucky in so many ways. but in so many other ways, i have just been screwn. i can't get old, i am not a success yet!!
