Baby Boomers ... Draft for the Over 60 Crowd? Fri, 25 Sep 2009 19:16:00 +0000 Baby Boomers, I just got this in an email and thought I should pass it along ... drafting guys over 60 ... obviously written by a Former Soldier ...New Direction for any war: Send Service Vets over 60!I am over 60 and the Armed Forces thinks I'm too old to track down terrorists. You can't be older than 42 to join the military. They've got the whole thing ass-backwards. Instead of sending 18-year olds off to fight, they ought to take us old guys. You shouldn't be able to join a military unit until you're at least 35.For starters: Researchers say 18-year-olds think about sex every 10 seconds.. Old guys only think about sex a couple of times a day, leaving us more than 28,000 additional seconds per day to concentrate on the enemy.Young guys haven't lived long enough to be cranky, and a cranky soldier is a dangerous soldier. 'My back hurts! I can't sleep, I'm tired and hungry' We are impatient and maybe letting us kill some asshole that desperately deserves it will make us feel better and shut us up for a while.An 18-year-old doesn't even like to get up before 10 a..m. Old guys always get up early to pee so what the hell. Besides, like I said, 'I'm tired and can't sleep and since I'm already up, I may as well be up killing some fanatical son-of-a-bitch.If captured we couldn't spill the beans because we'd forget where we put them. In fact, name, rank, and serial number would be a real brainteaser.Boot camp would be easier for old guys.. We're used to getting screamed and yelled at and we're used to soft food. We've also developed an appreciation for guns.. We've been using them for years as an excuse to get out of the house, away from the screaming and yelling.They could lighten up on the obstacle course however. I've been in combat and didn't see a single 20-foot wall with rope hanging over the side, nor did I ever do any pushups after completing basic training.Actually, the running part is kind of a waste of energy, too. I've never seen anyone outrun a bullet..An 18-year-old has the whole world ahead of him. He's still learning to shave, to start up a conversation with a pretty girl. He still hasn't figured out that a baseball cap has a brim to shade his eyes, not the back of his head.These are all great reasons to keep our kids at home to learn a little more about life before sending them off into harm's way..Let us old guys track down those dirty rotten coward terrorists. The last thing an enemy would want to see is a couple of million pissed off old farts with attitudes and automatic weapons who know that their best years are already behind them..*** How about recruiting Women over 50 ...in menopause!!! ***You think Men have attitudes !!!Ohhhhhhhhhhhh my God!!!If nothing else, put them on border patrol.... They will have it secured the first night!Send this to all of your senior friends ... it's in big type so they can read it.[...]
Baby Boomers - Lighten up with Humor Wed, 23 Sep 2009 13:00:00 +0000 Baby boomers, life is tough and sometimes we just need to lightebn up and laugh a bit ... LeRoy should give you a chuckle or two .. LOL!"Praying with LeRoy" "Anyone with needs to be prayed over, come forward, to the front at the altar," the Preacher says. Leroy gets in line, and when it's his turn, the preacher asks: "Leroy, what do you want me to pray about for you."  Leroy replies: "Preacher, I need you to pray for my hearing." The preacher puts one finger in Leroy's ear, and he places the other hand on top of Leroy's head and prays and prays and prays, he prays a blue streak for Leroy. After a few minutes, the Preacher removes his hands, stands back and asks,"Leroy, how is your hearing now?" Leroy says, "I don't know, Reverend, it ain't til next Wednesday!" hehehehe! 
Baby Boomers Patrick Swayze was in the Fight! Tue, 15 Sep 2009 15:46:00 +0000 News like this always saddens me. It reminds me of the valiant fight that my sister went through 7 years ago with Pancreatic cancer. Yes, it is a killer now, but with more research and early detection perhaps it doesn't have to a death sentence. Consider a contribution to http://pancan.org September 14, 2009Dear Friends,The staff of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, its Board of Directors, and I are deeply saddened by the loss of beloved actor Patrick Swayze, who lost his battle with pancreatic cancer today, September 14, 2009. We offer our sincere condolences to his wife, Lisa Niemi, and the entire Swayze family.On January 7th, we watched in awe as Patrick spoke so vehemently to Barbara Walters about his fight against this devastating disease. He exuded an impassioned sense of hope, and a true belief that he would be able to make it long enough to find a cure. He told Barbara Walters, "I want to last until they find a cure, which means I'd better get a fire under it."He graciously participated in the Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) televised broadcast on September 8, 2008, where he received a standing ovation. The money raised through SU2C is funding five dream teams and one of them has received an $18 million grant to support pancreatic cancer research. I am honored to serve as the advocate on the pancreatic cancer dream team and we have great hope that this project will advance pancreatic cancer research to a whole new level. Patrick’s participation in this effort is just one of many ways that his public battle served as a beacon of hope for the pancreatic cancer community.Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. There are no early detection tools, few treatment options and no cure for this very difficult disease. In the past year a tremendous amount of momentum has been building in the pancreatic cancer research community to further scientific progress. The time is now. We need you now more than ever to fight this terrible disease with us. Please join our efforts and "get a fire under it." Here’s what you can do right away:Tell Congress why they must make pancreatic cancer a priority and support the Pancreatic Cancer Research and Education Act, (HR745). Click now to take action and get involved.Together, we can "light a fire under it" to honor the memory of Patrick Swayze and all those who have gone before him, as well as all those who "want to last” until a cure is found.Sincerely,Julie Fleshman, JD, MBAPresident and CEOPancreatic Cancer Action Network[...]

Baby Boomers - You Can do IT! Fri, 17 Apr 2009 11:21:00 +0000 Susan Boyle's, a Scottish baby boomer is taking the world by storm. With only one song and an unforgettable YouTube clip, this obscure woman from a small Scottish village has in less than a week become nearly a household name around the world.
Talking about her journey so far, she told the morning show that she reacted to the titters in the audience during her audition by focusing on the performance "You have to take yourself seriously, so what I did was concentrate on the song." As a way of explanation for why she went on the show, Boyle said: "I wanted to make this a tribute to my mother, so it was something I wanted to do, so I had to get on with it. That's where the courage came from, my mother." The 47-year-old unemployed church worker from Scotland's West Lothian district has captured hearts with her back story of "having never been kissed." She now lives alone with her cat, Pebbles, and previously cared for her ill mother, who died a couple of years ago. Susan Boyle ... you ROCK!

The Last Lesture by Dr. Randy Pausch Sat, 26 Jul 2008 20:25:00 +0000 Baby Boomers, it is with great sadness that I announce the passing of Dr. Randy Pausch. Many of you may have seen his inspiring "Last Lecture" that was delivered last year to Carnegie Mellon University. Professor Randy Pausch (Oct. 23, 1960 - July 25, 2008) gave his last lecture at the university Sept. 18, 2007, before a packed McConomy Auditorium. In his moving presentation, "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams," Pausch talked about his lessons learned and gave advice to students on how to achieve their own career and personal goals.Randy was a man whose efforts to advance the fight against pancreatic cancer greatly impacted the nation. This is dedicated to my sister, Maryjo Hines who died almost 6 years ago from this terrible disease...... For more information on Pancreatic Cancer go to: http://www.PanCan.org 
Baby Boomers Don't want to be Alone! Wed, 25 Jun 2008 19:59:00 +0000 Take a look at this article .... YIKES! Dating can be scary.Many baby boomers see themselves as trendsetters. This is great news for online dating sites and the industry itself.The Associated Press recently reported, “Half of all people ages 40 to 69 are either divorced or separated, and 30 percent have never married. Baby boomers are turning to the Internet, speed dating or the old fashioned hook-up for companionship.”Many dating websites now report that the over 50 crowd makes up one of the fastest growing segments in the online dating world. In referring to online dating, Stephanie Coontz, a family historian of the Evergreen State College in Washington recently said, "people in their 40s and 50s don't want to be hanging out at bars. Now they have access to this incredible pool of single people their age."Boomers find online dating very convenient. They have less hang-ups about meeting people online then the generation before them. They appear to be more comfortable with themselves and realize how convenient online dating can be. They don’t necessarily turn to online dating as the only way to meet people, but they certainly see the convenience of adding online dating as a way of complementing the more traditional ways of meeting new people.How will baby boomers change the face of online dating?Baby boomers will change the online dating industry through their expectations of customer service levels and their honesty about themselves.Two of the biggest criticisms of online dating are the level of customer service members receive from individual dating websites and wondering if the profiles that are posted on many of the sites, are real or fake.Boomers have come to expect first class customer service. They will not tolerate poor customer service from an online dating website site that charges them a monthly fee while not providing an easy way to access customer service. They will not tolerate dating websites that clearly do not have contact information posted. Baby boomers will not tolerate having their credit card charged for membership renewals without their consent.This is a good thing because it will force online dating websites to increase their level of customer service to attract the disposable income that comes from dealing with baby boomers. In order to attract baby boomers, online dating websites must do a better job of meeting the needs of this very important customer base. Baby boomers expectations will increase the overall customer service level of the online dating industry.Baby boomers are also very comfortable about who they are as a group. Many baby boomers are past the “I care what other people think” stage of their lives. They are more interested in doing what they think is right for them. They are more honest about themselves and expect the same from others.With this freedom, baby boomers appear more likely to post their real pictures online.Baby boomers also appear to be less tolerant of other people who misrepresent themselves online. Because they are comfortable with themselves, they are less likely to jump right in to a relationship. They are less likely to believe they must act now.People who post a real picture and real description about themselves in their profiles are more likely to have success with online dating.Hopefully, this will become the standard for the industry.An increase in customer service and an increase in honesty can only be good for online dating members and the industry itself.About the Author:Gary Kelly is co-creator of the online dating website for golfers, http://www.DateAGolfer.[...]
Sadly We Say Goodbye to Tim Russert Mon, 16 Jun 2008 15:48:00 +0000 Baby Boomers all over the world are sad to say goodbye to Tim Russert. Tim died on Friday of a massive heart attack ... he was 58. Tim was what the baby boom generation is all about, as the moderator of Meet the Press for the last 19 years he went the extra mile to really "put it out there". I didn't always agree with his politics, but hey, I'll defend his right to say it. Tim wasn't afraid to be brash and on the other hand he wasn't afraid to show his gentle side. Reading his book about his Dad, Big Russ, had me misty eyed many times and I know that I will miss seeing him every Sunday morning while I sip my cup of coffee.Watch the youtube memorial from "the boss" singing Thunder Road .. just click Tim Russert, may you rest in peace.

He consoles himself with the fact that now he has more time to pursue "other" interests!LONDON (Reuters) - Found: drinking companions to join elderly gentleman for a friendly beer at his local pub. Mike Hammond was bombarded with offers after advertising in his village post office for someone to accompany his 88-year-old father Jack on visits to a southern England pub from a nursing home. He offered the lucky winner 7 pounds ($14) an hour plus expenses and, after sifting through the applicants, decided on a job-share. Drinking duties are to be divided between a retired doctor and a former military man.  "Dad's now going to be going down to the pub several times a week -- three with his new friends and twice with me," Mike Hammond told The Times on Thursday. "I want to give him some of his old life back." (Reporting by Paul Majendie, Editing by Paul Casciato) Aging parents can be a challenge, so be creative! Retirement does not have to be boring. Essential Baby Boomers Information, stop by often! 
Baby Boomers - Stay Active! Sat, 31 May 2008 23:34:00 +0000 Baby Boomers, it is important to stay active mentally as well as physically. When we retire, the main question is, what do we do with our spare time? You know, that time that used to be filled with commuting to work and then the actual 9-5 job. What are your hobbies, or perhaps a better question, did you have time for hobbies? Put your thinking cap on ... what have you always dreamed of doing? Maybe learning to Juggle? It would certainly work on your reaction time! There are so many things that don't require a large financial outlay and could keep you not only occupied, but bring you into a whole new circle of friends. Age is only between your ears many times and all you have to do is go out there and do it! You may find out that your hobby, whether it is something new to you or one that you have been passionate about for years could also be a source of extra income. Teaching your favorite thing at a community center or maybe selling your crafts at a local flea market can bring in a few extra dollars as well as allow you to meet new friends. How about setting up a web site and selling information on the internet? Use your imagination! Don't sell yourself short ... your years of knowledge are valuable. If you are really serious about starting up a new business, there is even help available at the Small Business Association When baby boomers retire it is not the end stage of life, just the next stage ..... be active, have fun and enjoy the journey!  |
