BOOMERS WANT LIST INCLUDES WHAT THEY DIDN’T GET

April 3, 2021 by

Boomers want more, more, more? That’s the whine that comes from the echo chamber of other generations, like baby boomers are a cut and run company of ruin and destruction. Boomers I know want that elusive dish in life, harmony with a side of peace, love, and understanding. Boomer wannabes want the same thing, but […]

TEETH MATTER MORE TO BOOMERS. HERE’S WHY

February 26, 2021 by

Teeth matter because oral health is so important. Google ‘oral health heart risk’ if you want more proof than some blogger spewing online. Better yet, and what sets me apart from your average dipstick, I’ll do it for you. Here to help:

PICTURES MATTER, SOME MORE THAN OTHERS

February 25, 2021 by

COVID19 DEATHS NOT THE NORM TO ENDURE

December 10, 2020 by

Covid19 deaths will never be normal for anyone who has been with loved ones in their final moments. My mother-in-law had a massive stroke the doctors called an unsurvivable brain bleed.

PROBLEM SOLVERS: WHAT HAPPENS WITHOUT PROBLEMS?

December 5, 2020 by

Problem solvers without a problem eventually become a problem. If they could keep it to themselves, they wouldn’t be a problem, but when does that happen? For example, the self-described ‘people person’ who turns into a nasty troll when people disagree with them. We’ve all got ninety-nine problems lined up in prioritized, triaged, next-one-up order, […]

CHRISTMAS SEASON: WHAT BOOMERS SHOULD KNOW

December 1, 2020 by

Christmas season for boomers comes with the sort of experience people go to therapy for. We know what to do, also what not to do. The important thing is we do both. With more readers coming in from faraway places like Shanghai China and Portland Oregon, it’s not too early to help them out. But […]

AMERICAN PRACTICE: VOTE LIKE IT MATTERS

October 19, 2020 by

An American practice is like a medical practice: sometimes we get it wrong. Sometimes we get it right and it’s still wrong. If you’re old enough to vote, do it. Vote like it matters and encourage others to do the same. Voting is part of an American practice, like minding our own business and staying […]
