   How about another game? We can even use the songs we use in the ABC's game.  The last letter of the last posted song will be the first letter of the next song. Reply to the start post of the thread.   If someone posts the same " first lettered" song at the same time, no problem.   No need to correct anyone.   Simply, use whatever the last letter of that posted song to post your title. Have Fun!

 Not sure if this has been done before (got tired of searching after 20 or 30 pages and search function doesn't always provide expected results).  List a song title with it's group/singer alphabetically. A - Z and start over. I think there should be a song somewhere for every letter. Any year is acceptable. Double postings are ok. Starting off with:    A Hard Day's Night  - Beatles   For the letters Q, X and Z:   When those letters come up, you may skip them and post the next letter. Or, you can post a Q, X or Z and post the next letter if you wish. Either choice is fine.

OkayThis is meant to be a long running topic .  The rules are simple and there are a zillion songs out there, so lets see what we can do with this.You start with a song title.  Let's use  Love in an Elevator - AerosmithYou look at that title, pick out one word from it and find a new song title with that word in it,( example, In & Out of Love - Bon Jovi)  then post the new title as your post.  The next person follows.   See easySo lets give it a try.    My title is   Love in an Elevator - Aerosmith.Diane  

Same guidelines as the original forum.The only difference is this is for oldies.I am setting the following rule:No songs beyond 1975 I'll start with a classic: When A Man Loves A Woman:  Percy Sledge I'm Amending this forum to allow the use of songs up to and including 1975

[Tuesday 9/22/26 6:20am ET]I was in SHOCK yesterday when I happen to "glance" at the Kroger Gas Prices as I headed into store to get my Weekly Groceries.Lol, trying to HOLD ONTO the half tank I now have.Back BEFORE Gas prices started upward, I would Gas up once a month when I received my Monthly Retirement Social Security.Now I am staying home & driving ONLY as required (food,medical).Geez, are we stuck with NEVER seeing "lower" Gas prices? 🤔 I feel once the wars go away (if they ever), YES!!!I am SAVING as mentioned above by staying home but TOTALLY BORED & really struggling with having to do this in my Retirement. But have NO interest in getting behind on things like rent, electric, car insurance and so on.One TIP I read over the years is to COMBINE your errands when you can.Another TIP I saw online was to LIGHTEN your load. I was "guilty" of carrying around stuff in my trunk I had forgotten about. The ONLY time I ADD anything to my vehicle is during Winter. Got to be able t

Jewel Quest is a match-3 puzzle game where you match gems to solve challenges and uncover relics.   What is the goal of the game? The goal is to complete level-specific objectives by matching gems and progressing through the adventure. Early on, you’ll need to make a match in every square; soon after, you’ll be matching gold coins for the Midas Touch, which turns any square gold. Keep playing to find more ways to score points and win!   How do I play? Swap adjacent gems to create matches of three or more, either by clicking and dragging your mouse or swiping on your tablet or mobile device. Complete objectives to advance.   What happens if I run out of time? If you run out of time in a level (which you can see at the bottom of the screen), you will lose and need to retry the level.   Are there different modes? The game features a campaign mode with progressive levels.   How are scores calculated? Scores are based on matches, combos, and completion speed.

[Saturday 9/19/26 10:15am ET]Hey AARP Darryl ​@DarrylL35959 , when you guys "clock back" in from your weekend, you will see an AARP Private Message (PM) I just sent you. Unfortunately the NEW SETUP does NOT "allow" us to attach screenshots. The OLD SETUP did. So I am posting them here so you can SEE the "issue". Maybe you guys would "consider" ADDING this tool back into your PM setup. NO pressure, just asking. 📸[*** There are 4 screenshots hopefully] Take care, Nicole 💛🤗 

[Tuesday 9/22/26 5:50am ET]Curious if anyone has any TIPS to share!!! 🤔My daughter used the "online" sites when she got "laid off" in 2024. She now pays attention to things like making sure she UPDATES herself. In my "very humble" opinion, this is VERY IMPORTANT in today's Job Market.Me at age 68, seek out Consulting Gigs geared to SOLVING any "issues" a LOCAL organization maybe experiencing. I find work by "knocking" on doors. Lol, just DONOT have it in me to do the "online" routine. This way I CONTROL my "retirement". Yes, retired at age 62 when COVID reared it's ugly head at the place I worked for years. Hated retiring EARLY, but between me being the "only" one showing up for work & NO work "safeguards" to PROTECT me from the public (clients) - it was time to go. Laid low for a "few" years, got bored & finally felt SAFE to mingle AGAIN.Stop by to share & read what other members have to say.Thanks,Nicole 💼  (Jobs Forum)

     It seems to be totally random so the only tip I can give is just to play it everyday. I have hit it 3 times doing that plus I have also hit the weekly prize once.

[Monday 9/21/26 7:49pm ET]It seems EVERY YEAR of late I am getting "notified" about a DATA BREACH (my info compromised).I had stopped requesting my 3 FREE Credit Reports when I retired. Use to do it online EVERY YEAR.Decided I better start up this habit again.Tried to do it ONLINE, an issue.DIDNOT want to use the "mail in" option with all the dishonest postal employees, mail theft, lost mail & going to Post Office to buy a stamp. Been years since I have visited them or mailed anything.So it was the PHONE OPTION. Did good with this & ordered ALL 3.Well ONLY one has arrived. And way before the 15 days they say it would be received. NOT sure IF that was 15 biz days.Lol, the other TWO ARE STILL MIA. Will be a MONTH since ordering ALL THREE on the 25th of this month.Now I did REorder the "missing" two SEPARATELY after the 15 days. And spaced this out so as NOT to order on SAME DAY.➡️[*** Does anyone know what "options" we have IF we NEVER receive a report?I tried calling the Credit

i was being overbilled by $10.00 per month. Customer service stated that “only the prepay or the AARP discount can be applied, not both…”From Tracfone’s web site (emphasis mine):“$10/mo discount on Tracfone Home Internet available to active AARP members with valid membership verification. Discount applies to one Tracfone account per AARP membership; multiple Home Internet lines within the same account are eligible. Discount not available at Target and cannot be combined with Target pricing, but may be combined with Auto-Refill discounts. Offer ends if eligibility requirements are not met. Additional terms may apply.”After this was pointed out to the agent he gave me the correct billing amount… but the online system still does not show the discount. I will see if I am billed properly next month. 

I started claiming my soc sec benefit at 62 in 2025.  My husband will start claiming his benefit in January 2027.  How do I now get the spousal benefit which will be higher than my current benefit?  Is there a form I need to send to the SSA?

I read in your monthly magazines regarding this Telikin Computer made specially for seniors and easy to use even if had no tech experience.  I called and he gentlemen told me it was better than any computer on the market that would cost you over $2,000.  He painted a picture of how easy it was to use and you had all the help you needed so you were able to do everything on this computer.  I bought this computer which coat me over $1000+ in Nov. 2021.  What happened when the computer got her I had to leave for Iowa to my daughter's and I did not get to set up this computer until May 2022.  This computer is the worse thing I have ever gotten.  There is no easy way of using it unless you are an expert tech.  To this date I have not been able to use the video chat because the salesman forgot to tell me the people have to have the Telikin Web site and it does not work on phones, people have to have a computer in order for this to work.  Mostly none of

Everyday after I try to gain new points in the reward program, it says I am maxed out. I click on a video that I have not watched clearly showing the points available as 300. At the conclusion of the video, this same maxed out message appears. I have tried  clearing the cache and even going on under ‘private’, I am on an Apple mac. This has been happening for several days. IT IS VERY VERY FRUSTRATING!!!!Can someone please fix this.Thank you.

Just wanted to share some info I got today.I am shopping for identity theft services. The AARP website advertises LifeLock discounts of "up to 44%". I just got information directly from LifeLock earlier today (September 20, 2026 at about 4pm CDT) and the prices I was quoted reflect only "up to 36% discount" from standard prices. AARP: Please update the website to improve its accuracy of information for other future AARP website users. Still showing 44% is very misleading.Michael L.

Some quizzes don’t work, like unemployment, music, and AARP rewards knowledge.

Thursday 7/2 at 11:16 AM I lost mt wife of 40 years. I was her caretaker for 16 years. I worked as well during most of that. To get her to relax I promised her I would hold her hand until she was out and that I'd be there when she woke up. She never woke up. The last promise I made to her was a lie and I have to live with that.  I have spent the last 54 hours reliving every time I raised my voice at her.  I am a ;ost soul.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has enacted a new policy governing international mail shipments, with key requirements scheduled to take effect on October 22, 2026. We have just learned that, under the planned implementation by CBP and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), virtually all prescription-medication parcels will be prohibited from entering the United States beginning on that date.What’s ChangingEntry will be prohibited if the medication being imported is commercially available in the United States — even when it costs significantly more — or if the supplying company specifically markets to Americans.These restrictions will apply to pharmaceutical parcels sent by pharmacies anywhere outside the United States. Taken together, they are expected to effectively close the personal-importation pathway that millions of Americans have relied upon for more than 25 years to obtain safe and affordable medications.

I purchased a Petsmart gift card at a reduced price yesterday.  I received the email with the egift within approximately 15 minutes of purchase, however, I can’t access the gift card.  When I click the email to get the card details it redirects to blinksky.com.  I’ve never seen this before and tried to obtain the gift card number but this link just keeps “thinking” and states “digital card activation pending” and “transaction in review, please wait”I made the purchase at 8:30pm on 09/20/2026 and still haven’t been able to access the gift card. 😡

I retired three months ago after a 40‑year career as a lawyer. At first I really enjoyed my retired life, but now it is exactly the opposite; I don’t know what to do. There are so many things and options, but I can’t figure out what would be best for me to do other than sit in front of the TV all day
