INVASION OF THE BLOGGING BOOMER CARNIVAL #8

I had discovered something last night. I tried to forget it.

I sat down the next morning to what I considered a well balanced breakfast.

Until, Over at CONTEMPORARY RETIREMENT, I took Ann's invitation to take 5 minutes to discover if you are eating a balanced diet or not, by taking a 24-question nutritionist-developed quiz. Click here to Link

On top of that, through THE BOOMER CHRONICLES, we (heart) Amish people. A recent study found
that Amish people are a heckuva lot skinnier and healthier than your average American.
Find out why. Link

It was easy for Rhea to report this - she ran around a crop circle with the Amish all last summer.

I was able to text message some of my neighbors about the pods in the cellar but some didn't know what the heck a text message was -

So, over at LIFE TWO they read - Marketers don't think you're too old to learn to text message: Link

(or if the glitch is fixed: a post on a new book about the story of over forty people who undertook "midlife reinvention." by Susan Crandell, author of "Thinking About Tomorrow: Reinventing Yourself at Midlife.")

Could I educate myself about the severity of the problem?

Yes, at THE REARVIW MIRROR, I found out you can get an education in the middle of life and the fallacy of retirement: Link

or should I volunteer at a hospital to get some knowlege of the problem?

But first I better - Give a graduate a helping hand. A graduate team survey from NY University wants to hear 50 plus voices weigh in on hospital volunteerism. For more info or to participate in the survey, head over to GEN PLUS: Link

(Actually, I could use a helping hand, my son graduated from NYU and I'm still paying off the loan.)

The problem became worse:

Could I leave Mcmansion?

I should have read the post at SO BABY BOOMER: Boomers are spending and not saving for retirement. How bad is it? Link

As I ran away with my wife, I heard a neighbor shout, "You can re-finance your house and get a 50 inch plasma TV."

:

The whole town chased us:

And as I ran there was no escaping it. I had become a Baby Boomer with a mid-life crisis, retirement issues, financial problems and an eating disorder.

But I was relieved to find in MAN-A-PAUSE that - Is Turning 40 the New 50 or the New 20? Link

So, really I could turn into Brad Pitt:

Very funny, very clever. Gave me my chuckle for the day.
