Today is chemo day. Have some plans of foolishness today for the doctor and nurses. I'll make it up to them by taking in muffins that I made for them.
So...the AARP Ethical question is: I am approaching the milestone birthday this year (I know, I don't look it or act like it - it's a curse!) and have started to receive AARP mailings. The most recent came the other day. I am thinking about treating myself to a weekend at Kitty Hawk after my 6th (and potentially last) chemo treatment. If I join AARP (in advance of the milestone birthday and not chronologically eligible to be an AARP member), the hotel discount will pay for the membership in the first night I stay there. However, since I won't be the eligible age when I go to Kitty Hawk, would I be a bad person for using the AARP discount? The other side of it is I would be helping the economy by travelling and staying at a hotel.
Before you take all of this too seriously, I just goofing on you (a term that a friend of mine uses). I do know what I intend to do as I think there are some aging credits due me as a result of having cancer. I'm just saying..........
Will let you know tomorrow what the foolishness was as the Nurse Practitioner has my blog address and since she is a Hokie, you really can't trust her.....I'm just goofing on her. She may let the others know what to expect.

i don't think there's an ethical issue. if AARP allows you to join pre-milestone, then AARP allows you to join pre-milestone! they've made a decision to allow people to enjoy their benefits early; it helps them by roping people in early.
AARP found me this week--with only 18 days to go! Don't know how I was missed; Thom has been getting stuff for quite a while and he's a year younger than I am.
on the Kitty Hawk thing--would you like a timeshare week? Would be very happy to donate/work on it for you--and please, no timeshare jokes. I know about the foolishness of buying, but my friends will tell you it's much better than my being meat on the porch days...
in other news--Terps are honoring Laura Harper tonight AFTER the NCState game--one more jersey in the rafters of Comcast!
Ok, that should have been buying meat on the porch, not being meat. Am going far away now!
