Being Carded

November 27, 2007

Remember those early years; first worrying that you would be carded, then at thirty-something – hoping you would be.  Well, I’ve reached that tender age when in some places I qualify for those senior movies, menus and discounts.  The first few times I asked for a seniors’ meal, I expected the same vigilant scrutiny of  my driver’s license.  Alas, I found that the ATF (Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms) doesn’t monitor these things quite as carefully as underage drinking or smoking.  

Truthfully, I was hoping for more of a response.  ” No way, you couldn’t be that old – not you,  You look so young!”  Sadly, not so.   I’ve decided that the reason I don’t get asked about my age more often is that the wait person or sales clerk is just past puberty and to them anyone over forty is past prime.  Young whipersnappers all.

 Probably the most important card these days is The Woolpack THANKS card (To Help Acquire Necessary Knitting Stash).  The card is our way to show you how much we appreciate your business.  Every time you spend $20, we will put one point on your card for every dollor you spend.  When you have collected 250 points, we’ll convert them to a $25 gift card.  Points are earned on all full price merchandise and can be redeemed for classes or materials.  You can get a THANKS card at any age! 

Hope your Thanksgiving brought you blessing and good company – now on to the knitting and crochet.
