I don’t have a daughter, but if I did, I wouldn’t want her to date one.

This one’s for you!

Family

TherapyDoc presents Snooping posted at Everyone Needs Therapy, saying, “Is there a huge difference, reading what’s on somebody else’s computer screen or taping someone’s phone call?”

Fitness

Clint Cora presents Fitness Strategy For Physically Demanding Jobs posted at Motivation Diversity Success Blog, saying, “Since many baby boomers work in physically demanding jobs, it is even more important than ever during these years to ensure proper health and fitness even though there is already physical activity on the job”

Martha Ann Spruill presents Never Say Never – Merging Paths posted at Merging Paths, saying, “My Mom hates exercise, but she needs to have both of her knees replaced and the surgeon won’t do it until she loses some more weight. I finally got her going to the pool at the gym, and she is actually enjoying it!”

Health

Eileen Gravelle presents Why we age: top five theories explained | Simply Anti Aging posted at Simply Anti Aging, saying, “Understanding why we age is important in navigating the mass of information – sometimes conflicting – about how we should age well and stay healthy for longer.

Monday Musings for Baby Boomers – Rules for When You Find Yourself in a Horror Movie

Smile!

Monday has always been a little bit of a let down, what with it being the beginning of the work week and all.

So to start things out on a bright note for the week, I bring you the…

Baby Boomers Monday Musings.

Rules for When You Find Yourself in a Horror Movie

- Don’t assume the telephone calls are coming from another house.

- When it appears that you have killed the monster, NEVER check to see if it’s really dead.

- Never read a book of demon summoning aloud, even as a joke.

- Don’t go into the basement to check the power when the lights go out!

- If your children speak to you in Latin or any other language which they should not know, shoot them immediately. It will save you a lot of grief in the long run. However, it will probably take several rounds to kill them, so be prepared. This also applies to kids who speak with somebody else’s voice.

- When you have the benefit of numbers, NEVER split up and go it alone.

- Don’t have sex. Especially if you’ve noticed a few of your friends are missing!

- As a general rule, don’t solve puzzles that open a portal to Hell.

-Never stand in, on, or above a grave, tomb, or crypt. This would apply to any other house of the dead as well.

- If you’re searching for something which caused a loud noise and find out that it’s just the cat, don’t stand their sighing with relief, GET THE HECK OUT!

- If appliances start operating by themselves, don’t check for short circuits; JUST GET OUT!

- Do not take ANYTHING from the dead.

- If you find a town which looks deserted, there’s probably a good reason for it. Don’t stop and look around.

- Don’t fool with recombinant DNA technology unless you’re sure you know what you’re doing.

- If you’re running from the monster, expect to trip or fall down at least twice, more if you are of the female persuasion. Also note that, despite the fact that you are running and the monster is merely ambling along, it’s still moving fast enough to catch up with you.

- If your companions suddenly begin to exhibit uncharacteristic behavior such as hissing, fascination for blood, glowing eyes, increasing hairiness, and so on, kill them immediately.

- Stay away from certain geographical locations, some of which are listed here: Amityville, Elm Street, Transylvania, Arkham (you’re in trouble if you recognize this one), the Bermuda Triangle, or any small town in Maine.

- If your car runs out of gas at night on a lonely road, do not go to the nearby deserted-looking house to phone for help. If you think that it is strange because you thought you had 3/4 of a tank, shoot yourself instead. You are going to die anyway, and will most likely be eaten.

- Beware of strangers bearing strange tools. For example: chainsaws, staple guns, hedge trimmers, electric carving knives, combines, lawnmowers, butane torches, soldering irons, band saws, or any devices made from deceased companions.

- If you find that your house is built upon a cemetery, now is the time to move in with the in-laws. This also applies to houses that had previous inhabitants who went mad or committed suicide or died in some horrible fashion, or had inhabitants who performed satanic practices in your house.

Hope that put a little smile on your face and Keep On Smilin’

This Weeks Good Reads-Week One Hundred fifty-four

Posted: 26 Aug 2012 03:31 AM PDT

The real BBUS post can be found here… This Weeks Good Reads-Week One Hundred fifty-four by Joe Hauckes © Baby Boomers U. S. (The Blog) .
Every week I come across an article or two that I find very helpful to me as a Baby Boomer and think may be of some interest to you, the community, as well.

They may be from an online news source, another Blog or Website or something I found surfing around the Internet. They could even be something that was sent in by a reader of the Blog or a member of the Baby Boomer’s Forum.

Enjoy!

The Defining Issue of Our Generation by Ira Byock… Is there any one thing that can define us as a whole generation? Could it be our expectations or how we could change the world? Check our this article to see if you think that we can or can’t be defined as a whole.

I hope you found this weeks choice(s) helpful and enjoyable. What did you think? Do you have any suggestions for next week?
