How old will I be…really?

Love this — my sister just sent me this viral email with a virtual life expectancy calculator.  Have fun — and who knows how right it might be?  I discovered, according to this, that I’ll live til 90 and have 14,800 days left on the planet.  Works for me.  Ummm…if you are 89, I [...]

The 411 on the 311: Doing Business in Los Angeles

Have you ever called 311 in LA?  311 is the main line number to connect with Los Angeles City Hall.  In our city, the voice message is that of Mayor Antonio Villaragosa and he cheerfully invites you to take advantage of the many services available to you through the city government.  And even [...]

A bit of tongue in cheek outsourcing.

Enjoy this very funny skewering of outsourcing by The Onion.

I’m going to have to earn money til I’m 95…

I just had an epiphany as a result of today’s Wall Street meltdown. I may have to change my focus. I’ve been spending years writing about Boomers and 50 Plussers to help express our voice and to creatively find ways for us to continue to secure meaningful employment as we hit the “50″ [...]

Who is Mrs. Hughes?

I subscribe to a great blog, Time Goes By, written by Ronnie Bennet. And I’m just falling off my chair laughing, so I have to share her post and the video clip with you. TGB interviews Mrs. John Hughes, a stand-up comic who becomes a “You Tube” celeb. If you’ve got kids, hot [...]

75 years old and Going Strong on Dr. Phil

Thanks to reader Richard M., who sent along this slideshow clip on a 75 year old woman’s impassioned reaction to poor customer service in response to my post on VOiP earlier this week. My experience with transferring over to VOiP was not nearly THIS hairy, but I, along with millions of others who [...]

From one Boomer to Another: Shame on you, Ann Coulter.

I am a Jew. I’m proud of it. I find my spirituality in my faith, just as Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, and other believers in different faiths do in theirs.

“If it was good enough for Jesus to be a Jew,” says my 71-year-old mother, a practicing Jew, “it is good enough for [...]

An Immodest Proposal

Los Angeles guest writer, Corinne Copnick, shares thoughts she penned before Michael Moore stirred up the pot with “Sicko”. In Sicko, Michael Moore took a couple of boat’s worth of ailing people to Cuba for medical care (and it looks like he may be in trouble with the U.S. government now.) In this [...]

Road Warrior’s Lament, ET, iPhone and the Summer of Love

You can’t surf more than a couple of minutes without finding some chatter about the iPhone. I have to admit, that I’m one of those people who is drooling to have one. I’m a Boomer obsessed with technology that I don’t understand. Even though I have a crackberry (blackberry) and am reasonably addicted, [...]
