   I am fortunate that after my cancer my hair literally has turned   
   white as snow... It's been that way since I was 35 (I'm now 46)  At   
   35 I wasn't able to pull it off... but now I get the Senior Citizen   
   price without having to ask for it.  And I don't question it.   
      
   I have an abundance of hairdressers in the family and they all   
   want to "give me some color" but I refuse... when I can get into the   
   movies before 12pm for $5 why would I want to mess up a good thing.   
      
   It's increasing to $6.50 in 2017 but still that's cheap.  And if I   
   talk nice to the theater staff they will let us watch a second movie   
   back to back on Tuesdays as they need 15 people in a theater to run   
   the show if they don't they have to cancel it.  They often will let   
   us watch a second movie so that the show can go on.   
      
    AK> If I'm in the mood for candy or something will stop off at CVS   
    AK> and get a box of something and put it in my jacket inside   
    AK> pocket.   
      
   Back in the day I dated a very gifted young lady who had sneaking   
   food into a theater down to a science.  I'm not talking candy, I'm   
   talking food like Pizza, Fried Chicken... even a bottle of wine and   
   two wine glasses.   
      
    AK> If it's a movie that did not come out in 3D or IMAX the local   
    AK> megaplex has 5 dollar day on Mondays or Tuesdays for all   
    AK> movies for everyone. The place is always packed.   
      
   They tore down our real "megaplex" and built a costco there.  We   
   haven't had a big "megaplex" since they tore down the showcase on   
   Bardstown road.  We have a few nice theaters but they are small.   
   The showcase had big comfy seats and the smallest theater sat 400   
   people.  The new ones have 100 seats in the small theaters and none   
   of them are comfy.
