BLOGGING BOOMERS BLOG CARNIVAL #67 - WHAT THE COOL BOOMERS ARE SAYIN'

This message is coming to you from Don't Gel Too Soon blogging HQ (pictured to your left.)  I am fortunate to participate in a Blogging Boomers Carnival - and this week -- week number 67, I'm the host(ess.)
You'll find links and descriptions of posts by all my fellow Carnivalites; they're a diverse, talented group, so knock yourself out.

Gloria Steinem used to say her greatest fear was ending up a bag lady.  For many of the rest of us, it's ending up in a house full of old newspapers and unmatched socks.  Rhea Becker at The Boomer Chronicles has some interesting information on hoarding.

Is popular culture your thing?  I Remember JFK's Ron Enderland has a nice piece about changes in TV as the 70s rolled around, and a show called Hee Haw (you had to be there.)  It's a great slice of media history with a personal touch.

On a more serious note, John Agno over at So Babyboomer, tell us that "Companies and government agencies have long anticipated the "retirement brain drain"----the tidal wave of Baby Boomers starting to leave the workforce.  Will the place whereyou work continue to thrive when Baby Boomers retire and take their knowledge with them?

**For some reason, this post by the great Janet Wendy of GenPlus just arrived - even though she sent it last week!  So be sure and read it!  In honor of Earth Day/Month/Year, she focuses on how we can have a brighter planet by taking a cue from www.BrighterPlanet.com and their carbon offset visa card.  Their site is a must-visit and read for any responsible earthling.

And from Ann Harrison at Contemporary Retirement, tips on ways to thrive on a more personal level: How are your first aid skills?  Would you know what to do if someone severed a finger?  How about a sprained ankle - would you apply heat or a cold pack?  If you're not sure, head over to Contemporary Retirement and discover the top 10 first aid mistakes.

Finally, from Wesley Hein, LifeTwo:  Things you can do to start "Aging Backwards" that cost little or no money, according to looking young expert Jackie Silver...

My own post, appearing just below this one, is about the Clinton-Obama race and its relationship to 1968.

Hope you've enjoyed all these great ideas as much as I have....
