Sure, the soldiers came home, married and had kids. It was a relatively small portion of the population who went overseas to fight, though s significant portion of the people of reproduction age. Most of them had smaller families than their parents had. In previous generations it was common to have a lot of children, but the boomers usually limited their offspring to 3-4. According to Stats Can data, the average household in the 1850s was 7. There was a fairly drop over the decades and in the baby boomer age it remained steady for a few years before they downward trend continued. > Basically the "baby boom" generation was born between > 1946 to 1964.

Three of us from work wanted to get together one day. Two of us retired, one working until 4. There was no other place to go for a snack where we could sit and BS for two hours and spend a total of $3 for all of us. There is just no other place around. The coffee and muffins are decent and they have soft serv sundaes too. Today, my wife and I had to go to that area this morning. I called Sue and suggested we meet for breakfast. The other 2 places in town are closed on Monday so we ended up at McD. Again, we could stay and not be bothered but this time we spent $10 for over an hour of getting together. Sure, there are better places with better food, but not everywhere and especially on a Monday. You may be surprised at the number of 60+ people hanging out there in the morning. It is not the place to go for a good breakfast, but very convenient to meet some of your old cronies from work. |

There is some focus on younger sets, but there's definately an emphasis on what those of us who have a good steady income are getting. -- |

As in the kids who were taken there by their parents because the children were seduced into the McDonalds experience by their advertising and targeting the child audience who then grew up thinking that is what a hamburger and fries should taste like. |

My daughter can tell you all the popular games, but probably doesnt know who Bruno Mars is or that he just released a rather good new video this past weekend. Just like I was at that age, I was more into flash than a longer conversation in comparison to the older me. Thats a natural progression. -- |

Why would that be a problem? Are people so insecure that they cannot handle people liking the stuff they like? Your likes and dislikes is not a problem for me. OTOH, if you like beating your wife, I guess that would be a problem. Are people beating their cheap foods? OTOH, I'll take a $1.50 McBurger over a $10.00 fancy burger any day of the week. Those fancy burgers are just too big and gross to me. A McBurger would normally make me feel sick, except if I haven't eaten anything for awhile in which case, I might say it's awesomely good.

If what you say is true, then I'd say that McDonald's has brilliant marketing. The reality is that young people are going to determine the future food trends of America. The young always do. These kids are open to and exposed to new food ideas. Like sweet spaghetti. Old folks are not going to like it because they're set in their ways. That's not going to stop Jollibee in the US. Jollibee occupies a very sweet spot in food chains. They get to compete against KFC et al., and McDonald's et al., and apparently, the kids dig their spaghetti. |

She'd just graduated with an associates and looking for her first job. Looking for starting with a local bookstore at the moment (application sent in, seeing what happens). It's a manager trainee position. Fair amount of competition but I told her, you never win if you don't try. -- |

The last time was one year and a couple days ago when we stopped at one mainly to use the washroom and picked up a coffee and a pastry. The next previous time was about a year and a half before that. Around here the old guys hang out at Tim Hortons. I started the day with a 10 mile bicycle ride and the did my once a week trip by motorcycle to Port Dalhousie to have a coffee with the grey haired bikers. I combined it with a trip to the HD dealership and to Bass Pro Shop to get some bulk ammunition. If the weather is decent tomorrow there will be another bicycle ride, then an afternoon of pickleball, come back home for a quick supper and then over to the Niagara River for a 10 km 2 hour paddle. |

All I can think of is she has a heavy period and 'oops' (happens). Don't need a photo of such. It's just nature and happens. If that's it, you'll find some women have much lighter periods and do not understand how that can happen. I'm past all that now, but my poor daughter inherited that aspect from me. I'll not get gross over it but she has a flannel covered plastic protector now that she puts under the fitted sheet 'just in case'. -- |
