Something I hope happens to all of you someday
I got gas at a station that gives a Senior discount on Tuesdays. The clerk looked at me rather skeptically until I got out my AARP card, and then said, "I thought you were in your 30s!" She made my year! Hope when you get old, something like this happens to you!

1. I got carded at a bar once when I was 32.
That was nice. But it doesn't happen any more.

2. Hmm...
I got gas at a station...

I'd stay away from the burritos. The gas station is no place to have an ... uh, episode.

5. I got carded for cigarettes the night before my 30th birthday.
I almost never get carded for anything anymore, but plenty of people express surprise when I tell them I have a daughter who's a senior in high school.

9. I hate to Hyjack someone else's thread
but here it is...

You've been telling me I needed a more personal avatar, one that expressed my creativity. So I thought, what could be more personal and creative than one of my own paintings...

I know you've seen the larger painting before, but here's the detail I chose..



I'm sorry you missed it last night...
