Senior

There are quite a few things that I both love and hate at the same time. Perhaps one of the best examples of this hated love affair is that of the "Senior Discount"!!! I confess that I'm normally quite excited to see that I'm actually getting a special discount for something... a discount that I wouldn't have gotten up until recent years, but that discount comes at a price. It comes at the price of now being classified as a SENIOR (at least by certain establishments). In case you have forgotten, the word senior is used by many of us senio... uh, how about 'middle aged' folks, instead of the other common word freely used by younger people... OLD!!! Ouch. Old? And I still think of old as pertaining to my grandparents... not me.
