Bogus advertising designed to get you into the store to purchase more items than you would otherwise. Or entice you to shop there first because of the potential savings.Dennis wrote:Well over 50, by 14. I'm looking forward to all those discounts I keep hearing about
I have a retired military ID card in my wallet. I do most of my high dollar tool and construction material purchases at Lowes because they offer a 10% discount to the military. For high dollar purchases, the discount will cover all of the sales tax and some of the fuel cost.
One of the local auto parts stores advertises a 10% discount for military. I usually shop at the other auto parts store because the prices are much much lower.
Speaking of bogus. The other day I was reading an advertisement for the opening of a new grocery store, listing prices of items for sale. At the top of the advertisement it stated that 10% additional would be added to the check out price.
I have an excuse. CRS.

Re: Feeling old?
After 5 PM they roll up the sidewalks in Jefferson City, Mo.. About 20 or so years ago I was taking an evening stroll in near deserted streets of Jefferson City, Mo.. A young couple, apparently looking for a location, said "lets ask the old man".
I was wondering who the old man was until they asked me for directions.
Edit: The time frame would be 23 or 24 years ago.
2nd edit: I ran out of fingers and toes counting back that far, so the time frame is a estimate, or a wild guess.

There is no perk to getting older unless you consider age relate aches and pains a perk. Any of the advertised discount savings is spent on medications at the drug store.Dennis wrote:Oh well... another perk of getting older down the drain

Re: Feeling old?
Just got home from the 6 month dental cleaning, check up. Received a card with the next cleaning appointment in 6 months. Magnet posted the card on the refrigerator.
The refrigerator door was covered with my medical appointments. The freezer side was covered with wife's medical appointments.
Then it struck me. Parents post pictures their kids drew on the refrigerator. Elderly post their medical appointments.

Re: Feeling old?
I was starting to feel a bit choked up about all the one foot in the grave talk. Then I did the math assuming Potosi graduated students around age 18, (50+18) and realized that John is not that far ahead of me.

Re: Feeling old?
this thread is a little old, I am 71 now. A better one is my wife. She taught 3rd grade for several years then took a break to have a family and get the kids a ways through their education, then went back to teach special education, guess that was a natural as long as she had been married to me. In total she taught about 25 years, + the time off, then retired and substituted a few years. She decide to completely retire when she realized she was teaching a GRANDKID of one of her 3rd grade students.
If you are not part of the solution,
