. . .- - -. . . Hello dating over 50!  Beware of stalkers

When we think 50,
we think fabulous, flirty, fun.

Then we open the mail box...and there it is -
an invitation to join AARP, addressed to us.
We don't even give it a thought.
We laugh, and toss it in the trash, roll our eyes.

We are 50.  Life is just getting good.
This AARP is for retirement-
clearly they've mixed us up with someone else.

But these invites just keep coming.
and coming...
year after year.
We keep tossing, even consider moving to escape this retirement stalker.

How do they know us?
They keep tracking us down like we are on a missing-persons list,
but missing what exactly?
We haven't lost a thing- certainly not our minds that is.
Nope...still not retired.

At first it was funny, thinking it's just some clerical mistake.
But as time passes...we're no longer tossing them.
We're ripping them up- dramatically!
Now that AARP will get the message:
We're not old enough for this retirement thingy.
We've just started this fabulous stage!

Who are these people anyway?
Have you ever met anyone who works for them?
Like, "Hey, I want to introduce you to my friend James Bond-
he works for AARP."
Right, because that sounds normal.
Talk about job security,
"yep, we are pulling in new members younger and younger,  just got to hit my yearly goal - supplemental income for life."

I mean...maybe they're all the same people who use to worked for the phone book company,
Makes sense - they already had the names and addresses.
And when that gig became obsolete,
they jumped into something that wasn't going to become tomorrow's dinosaur:  reminding us that retirement exists.

Now come on all you singles, we need an organization.
I'm working on my ideas for what our title will be.
We will become so well-known that we will have our own acronym...
with its lifetime membership,
obviously!

After all,
we have fabulous new singles joining our status every year.

Ok, I hear you,
it doesn't have to be for life,
you can rejoin the couples club anytime.

and we promise not to forward your mail
