*sigh*
I did opt in for this year -- really, I *did*!!
Will send the snail-mail address off to Megan right away.
Does the fact that I've been 'sick' give me any wiggle room? <lower lip
quiver>
Slowly getting better.
The doctor says that I ought to be able to be back to 'normal' -- as far
as being to eat pretty much what I want and like -- in 3 months. Golly
Gee -- how exciting!

Errrr... and the snail mail address?

With you two, I _really_ want the address attached to a Bookw<appropriate
vowel-like letter>rm signature. The embarrassment if I got that detail
wrong... <shudder>

That would be... being able to eat anything you like, after the food-filled
winter holidays are all over?

Gee. Um. Doesn't that sound... nice?

Oh, well. At least you'll be eating fun stuff again in time for the
summertime melons and springtime strawberries and and andandand...

I can understand the strain of being over 50. It isn't the strain of
remembering "what doesn't hurt, doesn't work", its remembering the
phrase in the first place. BTW, I like your tagline.

Well i'm not quite 50 yet, but the ASPCA ... oops I mean the AARP ...
has already started bombarding me with "offers".

Thanks. The sig has evolved over a long time. I'm enjoying the
interpretation of the (TM) sign ... it turns into the most interesting
things.

If it helps, I received my first invitation to join the AARP when I was 24.

I hadn't even had a full-time job that lasted more than 3 months
(summertime), at that point, and they wanted me to retire?

Megan's Business Plan:

Develop killer computer app.
Sell to Micro$soft.
Retire at 24.

(Since revised a bit.)

Juuuuust a bit. Those killer apps are not conveniently littering the
ground the way they used to. :>

*G* I got my first mailing from AARP shortly after my 21st b-day. They
