25 years to go ....

Image
I've thought about this a lil in the past.  Even wrote about it here.   Back when I hit 25, was at my peak in my mind at that time. Thirty, shit felt 'real' as an adult. At 40, was a notch disappointed; thought I'd be in a diff place financially and physically.  At 50, realized I'd passed the '1/2 point' in life but was smiling.  Come 60 realized... shit was getting real.  Felt like superman right up until that point .. then my heart issue popped up (ICD in there now).  Suddenly realized I was mortal like everyone else.  This year I'll turn 65, Living The Dream (LTD), pushing forward in several areas of my life for what I've called 'The Final Push' ..   and assume I'll calm it down and relax and enjoy the roses or whatever that saying is.  But this past year .. I've been pushing hard...  Traveling a LOT ... and have a LOT planned and on my plate.  Well, few days ago ... got to doing some deep thinking and doing some soul s...

Rock n Roll Music……  light rock .. Classic Rock  … HEAVY Metal Rock ; variety.  Hmmmm.

I’m just not that guy.   But, the last few years, I’ve slowly been coming around.  I lov...

Old F'er benis'

  Few Beni's out there, for us old F'rs. I usually ask for military discount but forget about the Senior angle. After reading and posting the below... FINALLY ... .joined AARP for yet more beni's Rob'd this from elsewhere, just for you "I was at Wendy's recently; I heard a guy ask for his senior discount. The girl at the register apologized and charged him less. When I asked the man what the discount was, he told me that seniors over age 55 ...get 10% off everything on the menu, every day. (But you need to ASK for your discount.) This incident prompted me to do some research, and I came across a list of restaurants, supermarkets, department stores, travel deals and other types of offers giving various discounts with different age requirements. I was actually surprised to see how many there are and how some of them start as young as 50. This list may not only be useful for you, but also friends and family, too. Dunkin Donuts gives FREE coffee to people over 55...
