Women Who Do Not Wear Makeup

Posted: 20 Nov 2012 11:40 AM PST

A woman spends a year not wearing makeup. She writes a book about her experience. Not wearing makeup might not sound like much of an accomplishment, but if it’s so easy to go without makeup in our culture, then why do millions of women spend billions of money on cosmetics and would rather die than [...]

Baby Boomers Blog Carnival One Hundred sixty-seventh Edition

Posted: 21 Nov 2012 02:43 AM PST

Welcome to the November 21, 2012 editionBaby Boomers U.S. Blog Carnival of the Baby Boomers Blog Carnival. There are some really well thought out and insightful Boomer articles for you to peruse this week.

So, grab a cup of coffee (or tea),  sit back in your most comfortable chair, put up your feet and Enjoy.

This one’s for you!

General

David Leonhardt presents Do you inspire trust? posted at Self-Help Happiness Blog, saying, “A positive relationship requires mutual trust. Without trust, spouses, diplomats, friends and co-workers, neighbours and others cannot build an enjoyable relationship. Sadly, many people think that they have a great relationship as long as they can “get away with it", rather than ensuring they are trustworthy. That is called lowest-denominator thinking. I suppose it is survivalist; if surviving is your reason for living, that's just grand. But what if you want more out of a relationship than just surviving?”

Health

MITCHELL MORRIS presents 30 Blog Posts from Breast Cancer Survivors posted at Full Time Nanny, saying, “Facing a breast cancer diagnosis can very easily be one of the most terrifying and stressful situations of your lifetime.”

Angela presents How to Feel and look good this winter… posted at Online Health Magazine, saying, “Feeling good is all about making an effort. Discover how you could eat better and make a whole world of difference to your health this winter season.”

Peter Stockwell presents Best Holiday Weight Loss Tips posted at The Senior Walking Fitness Blog, saying, “The best way to look good in summer is start losing weight now.”

Sydney Bell presents 5 Ways Technology is Messing Up Our Sleep posted at Longhorn Leads, LLC, saying, “We all know that getting a good night's sleep is important, but just how important is it? Well, according to Dr. David F. Dinges of the Division of Sleep and Chronobiology and Department of Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, the first signs of lack of sleep are irritability and moodiness.”

Humor

Carter White presents 10 Common Reasons Why Teen Siblings Fight posted at Babysitting, saying, “If you have teenagers, then you know that there are a lot of ups and downs with raising them. They are pushing the boundaries and getting ready to leave the nest.”

Travel

Kevin Giffin presents 10 iPhone Apps to Use on Your Family Vacation posted at Summer Nanny, saying, “Family vacations are a time of excitement, entertainment and making memories with the ones that you love the most.”

Monday Musings for Baby Boomers – Heart Surgeon

Posted: 19 Nov 2012 03:21 AM PST

Smile!

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.

Heart Surgeon

A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor of a Harley, when he spotted a world-famous heart surgeon in his shop. The heart surgeon was waiting for the service manager to come take a look at his bike.

The mechanic shouted across the garage, “Hey Doc can I ask you a question?” The famous surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic working on the motorcycle.

The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, “So Doc, look at this engine. I also can open it up, take valves out, fix’em, put in new parts and when I finish this will work just like a new one. So how come I get a pittance and you get the really big money, when you and I are doing basically the same work?”

The surgeon paused, smiled and leaned over, and whispered to the mechanic, “Try doing it while it’s running.” 

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

Say It Ain’t So! Hostess is Going Under

Posted: 16 Nov 2012 10:44 AM PST

I grew up on snack cakes: Hostess, TastyKakes, Drake's, you name it. Now, when I say I 'grew up on them', this is no exaggeration. I ate this stuff EVERY DAY. I hardly ever met a snack cake I didn't like, except for TastyKakes peanut butter tandy cakes. I just don't like peanut butter-flavored foods. [...]
