AARP membership doesn't appear to be an exclusive club. They've been 'recruiting' me since I was in my 40's. I think they need us more than we need them.

Now, they're advertising a 5-year membership for $11 per year. How could they possibly stay profitable while providing their litany of benefits for such a low price? Maybe it's because their customers are actually the product?

Something about AARP always seemed kinda fishy to me. The passage of time has not changed that stance.

Black is a slimming color.

Mrs Miasma and I just joined a subversive organization.

I'm a little disappointed AARP doesn't sell the kind of branded merch we currently need here in America but the travel discounts are nice.

AARP research warns millions of Americans are at risk of fraud

As of today, I am now a happy and proud member of the NJCB (New Jersey Council of the Blind), which also makes me a member of the ACB (American Council of the Blind)! I am truly excited and am looking forward to meeting my peers and getting to know them. It is also my sincere hope that we can create a chapter in northern New Jersey, since none exists, and the blind community has very little in the way of anything here. Perhaps, we can start with phone and virtual calls and then find a physical space where we can meet. Finally, even though I am only forty-two, I have been a member of AARP (American Association of Retired Persons) for two years and love it. You don't need to be retired or working to join, it's just their name. It's full of benefits, classes, quizzes, and all sorts of wonderful things. Since the ACB already has a committee for older blind persons, I would love to see the two organisations working together. I adore seniors, which is part of why I joined NJCB. I always say I'm not an activist or an advocate, and that is true in the traditional sense. But that doesn't mean I can't work to bring people together and to help the community I love. If you are or know an ACB member, please contact me. I would like to find my peers, be they in New Jersey or not.
