OMG- who the heck is that?!!!

Boomer reaction after passing by the full length mirror coming out of the shower.  Space aliens have landed and taken over my body!! 

As a boomer, having memories is great.  We get to reminisce about the good old days. Unfortunately, I can remember (only yesterday wasn’t it?) when I was slim, trim, toned and everything in its place.  I used to fight with a pimple, a little cellulite on the thigh or the thought of my boobs being too small.  Now, the thoughts are more about, where did that age spot come from overnight (age spots take the place of pimples), the extra roll on the midriff (used to have a stomach so flat and tight you could bounce a quarter off it)  don’t try that now or you will lose the quarter.  I stopped worrying about the thighs and watch in horror as my stomach (that I never had before continues to inch forward).  The boobs thing, I just try to collect them and corral them into my wonder bra.

I know, not every boomer will appreciate the honest humor, but fighting getting older really just makes me feel old.  Heck, I give up, why fight with the inevitable?  I just want to enjoy it, laugh at it, and continue to do the things that bring a smile to my face.  That is the best face lift a body can have and it’s free. 

For those who follow me as I started posting from blogger, I have transitioned to my own domain.  http://boomersberg.com and it has some pretty cool perks.  Apture is on my site. This feature allows you to highlight any subject or word and will give you (without leaving the page) info found on the internet of the subject or word.  Real cool, I think, give it a try. Also, I have a forum there for those who want to start a conversation on any subject which would be boomer related or a boomer rant. Steaming mad I have started some links to some cool boomer places on the net and hope to actually have a page that will be like a boomer directory to places on the net especially pertaining to boomer subjects of interest.

Just another day floating on my iceberg.  See you in cyber space friend.

Snarky Boomer’s First Days In a New Direction

Image
The new career as a caregiver. I hope that these blog posts will encourage any boomer who is struggling to find a road map.  If you read some of my first blog posts, you will see that I was pretty down.  I have decided with some found energy to reinvent my final act for a living.  After assessment of all the particulars, I settled on caregiving. Was hired by a local facility and started training.  The day of training I was asked to sit for a client the following Monday, it was to be a 12 hour shift.  I accepted the duty and enjoyed it very much. I now have my Red Cross CPR/First Aide/AED certificate. I have sitting on my desk 4 CD’s I ordered “Savvy Care Giver”.  The information pertains to caring for clients with dementia or Alzheimer’s.  The facility of my employment offers further training. Now, granted, I am not making a ton of money, but I have an objective here and anytime you start on anything new, you start at the bottom.  I have m...

I live in an Oxymoron world

Most of it consisting of moron; defined in Webster’s Dictionary as- mild mental retardation (don’t jump on my butt about being politically correct). If I didn't laugh at the fine mess I am now in, I would be secured in a mental hospital. Being absolutely unsure of anything, everyone and anyplace has brought me to a state of acute apathy . I now seem to find myself thrust into active retirement whether I want it or not. As I took stock of my finances, I thought I had made an accurate estimate of what I would need to survive on. All these unanticipated expenses seem to just keep coming in, like mortar shells, blasting holes in my budget. I have been forced to become an amateur expert on how to survive on very little money. Boomer's like myself are enjoying the benefits of an efficient government , whether local, state or Federal. In fact our entire planet seems to have a severe wasting disease called "lack of common sense ". I think I will sit now in eloque...

Dearth- word for the day

Dearth noun \ˈdərth\ : an inadequate supply : lack <a dearth of monetary resources> I can feel that word. It is part of who I am right now. Dearth of monetary funds Dearth of positive attitude Dearth of discipline Etc., etc., ad infinitum Antonyms: On the other hand I have a wealth of bills, abundance of bad attitude and plenty of apathy Trust me I have not always been like this. This is a new experience for me. I have more than a few f riends and acquaintances that are in hard times and places as bad or worse than mine. As I look around, it gets harder to see anything that is NOT depressing. The city parks are going down hill due to budgetary constraints. It was announced in our local paper that more than a million dollars is outstanding in property taxes from last year that people could not pay. The question comes to mind, did we become so accustomed to so many amenities that now those are luxuries and doing without things we used to take for g...
