I order from the 2,4,6,8 menu and get a 10% veteran's discount. AARP gets you 15%, but I had to pass on them when ACH was being touted about.
I never thought I would ever reach Guru status but discovered all it took was talking (typing) a LOT.
I'm figuring at the rate I talk it will take another 3 to 3-1/2 years to reach guru status.. lol..
I was a guru once. The hardest part was learning to sit cross legged on the toilet.
The only thing I've shopped through AARP is auto insurance. It was twice what I am paying now. I used to get their magazine constantly with the happy arpers on the cover. I think they quit sending them.
I've been throwing away aarp info packets for years. They've been trying to remind me of how old I am for years. 
Hmmm, I was going to reply, but I believe I'll leave that one sitting right there on the hot plate where you put itYour title is determined by your post count. According to Old Soldier, the owner of ECF:

So I don't know if your title alludes to how much you know about vaping, or simply how much you like to talk.
My kids tell me that my ex got pretty upset when a restaurant gave him a senior discount. He was only in his late 40's.I've been throwing away aarp info packets for years. They've been trying to remind me of how old I am for years.
I re-up every year to get their free day bag. My kindle and my ecigs fit in there nicely

You know it's not free if you have to pay dues to get it right?
FWIW, I am AARP age myself, but I won't sign up with them because I abhor their politics. It's kinda like joining a union, or the NRA. The bottom line is, they're political players. Sometimes because they have to be, sometimes because they want to be, or maybe both, depending on the group and their particular issues. But they are. There is no way to separate one's membership from it. If you support what they're doing, fine: sign up and send them your money. If not, stay away.

I love Denny's actually. If you can find one where they clean out the grease traps with reasonable frequency, their food isn't that bad. (My kid adored Denny's so it's many a meal I suffered through while he ate Chicken Fried Steak) so I've gotten used to it, LOL. It's better than the big M, anyway....
I would never join an organization because they gave me a free bag. I'm talking to you, NPR, with your ever-increasing frequency of pledge drives. At least AARP doesn't do THAT. Though, I think my husband hates them most due to something hinky with them, but I can't remember what it was and he left early today, I can't ask him....

Lol.. at least they don't keep thinking that he is his wife's father..
I have that problem with my husband. He is only about 8 years older than me, but he looks his age and I don't quite as much. (I havent gone grey and he has, etc.) If we go out to eat with his mother, they think it's she that's his wife and me their child..
That really really bugs my husband as it makes him feel like some sicko cradle robber... lol.
$16 and I can use the discounts. We save a lot at RV parks when we travel, I just always forget it at restaurants I need a key tag so I remember. Those are nice bags too and hard to find any under $20You know it's not free if you have to pay dues to get it right?
