Oh, and you don't need to slap me in the face again! Whatever the slap in the face means since I wasn't even responding to you, but if you can justify the behavior of Dave or the kids, then you must really enjoy some of the crueler posts about lifestyle etc., right?

Seriously, I live across from a high school. I have seen kids fighting each other several times in front of my house. I have never stayed in my house and watched it, I have always gone out and told them to STOP IT RIGHT NOW! You've be surprised how quickly the intervention of an adult stops that kind of behavior.

I'm not sure if I'm a boomer, but I've never felt like a king and I'm not dead either. Maybe you're translating your own feelings to an entire generation? |

People on this newsgroup just love to killfile aspects of the world around them. This is why they're pretty clueless about what's trending. |

Do you not yourself? > > Cheri > Ah, the good old days, growing up in the 50's. In some respects they were better, but it may just be being a kid, carefree and innocent. For me, life was good. Middle class, but we had a house, family car, TV, good schools. decent meals and clothing. I thought most everyone did. Most families in our neighborhood were similar. At the time, I did not realize the benefit of a good education but sure found out later as I was able to maintain a pretty food middle class life for may family too. I don't want to go back there to live though. Every generation has good and bad music. IMO, the music then has a higher percentage of good compared to now. TV was entertaining but we have a better selection now. We have a better selection of everything now. Food, appliances, places to easily travel to, cars, houses, comunications. We have better medical too. My age is double the life expectancy of 1900. Hope to go a few more too. I'd discussed this with friends about my age. We think being born from about 1943 to 1955 is some of the best ever. The future may be better as long as no one hits the Nukes button. Who knows? I'd also like to time travel back to the past too, but only day trips. Don't want to live without porcelain fixtures, refrigerators, etc. |

I just sponge off everyone at the table. This really cuts down on the amount of food I eat and I save a ton of money. It's my best plan ever! |

It was interesting to see they found a way to have some fun with their much older cousin's obsession for sneaking food. It is sort of like leaving a bunch of half drunk bottles of beer or part glasses of wine and then sitting back and watching the drunken uncle sneak over and drink them. It certainly did the BN no harm. On the contrary, it was probably a lot like hitting the jackpot for her. There was a food service set up that she could have gone to if she wanted more food. If she wanted more chicken nuggets she could have gone to the table where the food was being served and taken as many as she wanted. She seemed to prefer the game of scavenging. |

Hardly "middle aged". All the people in those links are baby boomers, retired pensioners who are energetic, active, learning new skills, looking forward not back. Our generation is creating a new social blueprint for old age. Janet UK |

Have you never heard of the grey dollar/pound, the grey vote, silver surfers? ? WE ARE a boom generation, our sheer numbers mean businesses and politicians can't afford to ignore our voices, votes and spending power. Just look at the number of retired home owners downsizing to smaller property; they are freeing up capital to spend. Only to the > pharmaceuticals, as evidenced by every commercial. If that's the only baby-boom commercial trend you can think of, you're out of touch. http://www.economist.com/node/13888110 Janet UK |

I'm interested. > > Cheri http://www.economist.com/node/13888110 "businesses everywhere now realise that in future there will be a lot more older folk with money to spend. In most rich countries the baby- boomers born after the second world war were more numerous, better educated and better paid than any generation before them. When those boomers retire, they will want to do it in style, plastic surgery and all. What else might they spend their money on? The glossy magazine published by America's AARP, a powerful lobbying organisation for the over-50s that boasts 40m members, is bursting with ads. If those advertisers have got their market right?and they are paying big money for the older eyeballs?this group of customers can be persuaded to buy a plethora of products, from travel and financial services to mobile phones, medicines and comfy beds. Some businesses are already adjusting their ranges to cater for the grey market. Volkswagen, for example, has developed a car called the Golf Plus that has higher seats and more space than the standard model. A number of consumer-goods makers have started making smaller pack sizes for older, smaller households. Japan, which has already had lots of practice with older consumers, has developed some ingenious new products for the grandparent generation." Janet UK |

Cheri, your school kids story reminds me of when my boys were in grade school (literally two houses and across the street from me),
often some of the kids would start grappling/wrestling in my front yard (they were then out of range of the school crossing guards). All I had to do was lean out the front door and yell, "You know, there is dog poop in the yard..." LOL. The kids would immediately stop and run on down the sidewalk. It worked like a charm. N. |

You pretty well nailed it, though you may be a little more harsh about it than I am. She is rarely invited to our house, and we have declined a couple times when they tried to invite themselves. The last time she was here was last year when she came with her mother. That was the time when she pulled the number on our waitress by changing her order four times. I thought I had dodged a bullet when my wife offered to take them out for lunch because it was her birthday and 25th anniversary. They were coming this way to a cheese shop, and the lunch invitation was a counter to the stay over she hinted at. I thought I was getting off easy. We took them to a nice restaurant. Several of the lunch items included a choice of soup or salad. Three of us opted for the soup. She opted for soup..... and... a large salad. A small salad is a side dish. A large salad is a meal. Three of us declined dessert. She ordered a cheese platter. Damn it. I took her for lunch and she ordered two lunches for herself. I might add that, despite the fact the she won a lottery ... $1million, she has never taken us out for a meal. If she had, I would have only ordered one meal for myself. No one can make me feel guilty about my attitude toward this woman. She is someone who I would have absolutely nothing to do with, but who is a blood relative to people I care a lot for. I can not tolerate the fact that she steals in my house. When she snoops around and takes things that have been hidden, that is theft. She had "borrowed" books she had no intention of returning. In one case I recovered the book, but on her next visit to our house she stole it again. That is one item she stole from me twice. I have to wonder what else she has stolen. People can try to shame me and my son for his silly little seagull game, but I defy them to try to deal with someone like that in their own extended family. They would certainly not tolerate it from a stranger. I can tell you that the niece has never been confronted about her behaviour by anyone in the family but her mother and brother. If she is self conscious about things, that would be her sense of guilt for doing things that any adult should realize is wrong, wrong, wrong. If she has mental problems and there have been some measures > already taken to contrtol her behavior, then she should probably be > seeing a psychiatrist, given psychiatrict medication, or living in an > institution. Oh, and you don't need to slap me in the face again! > > |

That is too true - I am more than pre-boomer but I see boomers around that I would like to give a kick up the backside they're so damned stupid! God help the future if the boomers are creating a new blue print for old age. |

Are you still going on about your niece? Scary to think how empty your life would have been without her. I wonder how Waybe's coping. he doesn't have your niece. <snip more niece stories> |

They certainly shouldn't be on Usenet all the time bitching, trolling & baiting, and gossiping about other people. That's not how old people should act. Hope this helps. So what do you know? I've been here (usenet) since just before that, bulletin boards they used to be called here then morphed into usenet, and if you have some thought on 'how old people should act' more fool you. I have always done what I wanted to to do and will always do so, without any consideration as to whether its the social norm. |
