What I'll do is just post short bits and if people are interested in the whole story, they can read more on my site. </p> <p>Thanks for 'splaining it to me. &lt;img src=&quot;http://babyboomersus.net/my-plugins/pb--bb-smilies/default/icon_razz.gif&quot; title=&quot;:P&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> <p>Doris<br /> <a href="http://www.BabyBoomersTraveling.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.BabyBoomersTraveling.com</a> </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/introducing-myself-2#post-55 Sun, 06 Jun 2010 18:41:59 +0000 Gordy 55@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>Hi all, My name is Gordy (yes, like the hockey player - Go Red Wings!) Anyway, I live in the Great state of Michigan. Born and raised here. Like most here I guess, I can't believe that the years have gone by so quickly. Seems like yesterday I was front and center at the Allman Bros. concert in Detroit. Now the kids are grown and gone and My wife and I are looking toward the next stage in life.<br /> That's all for now. Looking forward to getting to know some folks here. </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/introducing-baby-boomers-traveling-dot1959#post-54 Wed, 02 Jun 2010 09:25:36 +0000 Joe Hauckes 54@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>Hey Doris,<br /> The main reason the content has to be original and never published before is to avoid duplicate content. Google penalizes a sites rankings if it was ever published somewhere else online.<br /> Sorry, but thems the rules. </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/introducing-baby-boomers-traveling-dot1959#post-53 Wed, 02 Jun 2010 03:54:04 +0000 dot1959 53@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>Thanks Joe. Totally agree with not allowing spammy content. No worries there. </p> <p>I don't understand why you restrict postings to articles never published online before now and that it cannot be published on another blog (not even your own), ezine or subscription service in the future. In effect, your restrictions are a contract between you and the writer for the publishing rights. Unless you pay for content, this doesn't really make a lot of sense from the writer's point of view. </p> <p>Could you elaborate?</p> <p>Doris </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/introducing-baby-boomers-traveling-dot1959#post-52 Wed, 02 Jun 2010 03:44:38 +0000 dot1959 52@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>Thanks Joe. Totally agree with not allowing spammy content. No worries there. I'll check out your guest post tab as well. </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/introducing-baby-boomers-traveling-dot1959#post-51 Sat, 29 May 2010 12:02:55 +0000 Joe Hauckes 51@http://babyboomersus.net/ Hey Doris,<br /> Of course you can post snittets of your travels here.

I'm really glad I found Baby Boomers U.S. </p> <p>I'm a full-time writer, traveler &amp; photographer who quit the corporate life four years ago to see the world. I write about it on two blogs (Baby Boomers Traveling &amp; This ExPat Life) as well as provide daily travel tips on my website <a href="http://www.babyboomerstraveling.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.babyboomerstraveling.com</a> -- all of which is available by free subscription or you can just visit the website whenever you feel like it. </p> <p>I'm also writing a book to inspire (turn on) boomers to do more traveling and give them the resources (tune in) to do it more often and for cheaper.</p> <p>If our Grand Poobah of Baby Boomers U.S. allows, I'd like to provide you with a snippet of my weekly traveling blog and links so that readers of this fine pub can be inspired to travel to more place, more often and for cheaper. </p> <p>Doris </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/introducing-myself-1#post-48 Sat, 08 May 2010 12:55:47 +0000 Joe Hauckes 48@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>Hey drt,<br /> Welcome to the Forum. I appreciate yuor participation both here and in the Blog Carnival.<br /> I know what you mean about but when I was a kid only Grandparents were in their 50's &amp; 60's.

My name is Aris Tanone and I'd like to thank Joe for allowing my posts to be listed in Blog Carnival.</p> <p>Long time ago, when I was a little kid, I thought, someone was very old if s/he was in his/her 60th. Now, I'm one year away and I still could finish running the 5K-run while one year or so ago I was a couch potato. The only think I could say is, thanks God I'm here now.</p> <p>That's all for now and I will visit this forum from time to time.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Aris/ </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/seniors-dicounts#post-45 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 20:36:23 +0000 Jservice 45@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>Hey Everyone, I am new here.<br /> I am actually trying to connect with other seniors, who are interested in finding businesses which offer seniors dicounts. I started a little website for seniors to find everything they need, but I need to build content! If you know of any special services, things to do, dicounts or anything else related to making senior life better in your area, than please tell them about this website. It may help someone out!</p> <p><a href="http://retirementlistingservice.com" rel="nofollow">http://retirementlistingservice.com</a></p> <p>Thanks Guys, oh ya, feel free give me any feed back. </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/great-moment#post-42 Mon, 15 Feb 2010 13:40:59 +0000 FitnessOver50 42@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>The Olympic Men's Hockey tournament is about to start.</p> <p>I suspect it will be one of the highlights of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games. We are a hockey crazy city here.</p> <p>As the tournament is about to begin, I cannot help but remember perhaps one of the greatest speeches given by any coach in any sport at any time. The speech was delivered by the late Herb Brooks.</p> <p>For those of you who have forgotten, Herb Brooks coached the 1980 U.S. Men's Olympic Hockey Team at the Lake Placid Winter Olympics. Going into the tournament, the U.S. team was not expected to do well. Once the tournament was over, they had won the Gold Medal.</p> <p>They didn't win because they had the most skill. They won because they had the most heart.They had the most desire. They had the most determination. They had the most motivation. Far more than anyone else. It made the difference.</p> <p>In the attached URL, Kurt Russell plays Herb Brooks in the movie "Miracle". I think it represents what the spirit of the Olympics is all about - the pursuit of excellence. Just copy and paste the URL into your browser. Here is the URL - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwpTj_Z9v-c" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwpTj_Z9v-c</a></p> <p>The reason I post this is two-fold. First, it was a great speech at a great moment. Second, each and every one of us should take that motivation and put it work. Make that motivation help you to achieve your fitness and health goals. It will never be easy. Everyday at the gym will not be a cake walk. However, use that motivation to achieve your goals. This is your time.</p> <p>Peter<br /> Fitness Over 50<br /> Get Up And Get Out There </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/greetingsintroducing-myself#post-31 Wed, 03 Feb 2010 10:23:16 +0000 Joe 31@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>Hey Eva,<br /> Yeah, I think there are some good things on Amazon.

Preferably suitable from birth<br /> I know the quinny buzz seems to fold very small but even 2nd hand ones of these are quite expensive </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/introducing-myself#post-16 Sat, 26 Sep 2009 17:44:46 +0000 gigi 16@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>I am stalling while cleaning the house, writing for my own blog, and trying to run out of time before I have to apply myself to 'homework'. I just started back to school to finish my BA after thirty years. I will have it by the end of the year. At various times I've tried to finish it, and even tried to circumvent the system and get my Master's. After all, said I, I have four years--I just left without taking the final finals. No luck. In the meantime, I am awaiting the advent of cool weather here near the devil's tailbone. By next Wednesday temperatures will drop, making field work for the census and the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, more pleasant. I was just beginning to enjoy a little hard-earned unemployment, too. </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/new-here-need-help-im-on-a-mission#post-13 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 22:24:42 +0000 richs 13@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>I'm back and sorry it so long to respond. Sorry for the typos too...</p> <p>Well Joe... basically what we have is an income opportunity for all people, all ages.</p> <p>Right now the economic situation is looking very bleak. Not just here in the US but world wide.</p> <p>Now even though things are looking bad all over there are people out there like myself that are making money, and the you lady in the above article.</p> <p>I'm an independent distributor for a company that created a home based business system that is actually portable. You can take with you any where in the world, and actually this amazing product is sold in about 107 countries right now. </p> <p>What the product does for you is this...</p> <p>1. It is a teaching tool that teaches you how to run an online business. You not only get instructions, but you are working on a team. You have several people above you who have mastered the system that are at your disposal if you need assistance. We frequent meetings that serve as basically a classroom. You don't have to leave your home. You just log into your virtual office which is accessed on the web and use all the various instructional videos and other teaching tools that are available. We Also have live conference calls very regularly where can speak to your team members and get help and ideas if you need them</p> <p>2. This is a income opportunity and the reason why you will get so much help is because who ever brings you in to the company makes money of you success and won't make any money if you don't succeed. In other words if you don't make money I don't make money. </p> <p>3. The income opportunity comes from you turning around and bringing others into the company also. You don't need any special training at all. If you know how to use the computer, the internet, and can just follow instructions that are in video format and often verbal... Then you'll do just fine.</p> <p>To find out about Miss Ann from England who lost her job and then came to our company looking for extra income all you have to do is click on this link and you'll see a very brief video of her. <a href="http://sn.im/grann4" rel="nofollow">http://sn.im/grann4</a></p> <p>The economy as far as I can see is still bad, and whether it gets better next or next month it doesn't matter, because there is nothing like having your own profitable business that is recession proof. And also gives you the capabilities and the freedom to travel the world and make an incredible income at the same time.</p> <p>Well that's it for now. Thanks Joe.</p> <p>If you have any questions you can email me here: <a href="mailto:nexprogen@gmail.com">nexprogen@gmail.com</a><br /> Or just leave a comment.</p> <p>Thanks again,<br /> Rich<br /> Live Long &amp; Prosper </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/new-here-need-help-im-on-a-mission#post-10 Fri, 14 Aug 2009 17:08:14 +0000 Joe Hauckes 10@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>Hey richs,<br /> I think you may have a lot to offer some of us Baby Boomers and from the sound of it, possibly other age groups too.<br /> If you tell us a little more about your ideas, we can discuss them and see if they can bear fruit for us "Older" folks.<br /> What say?<br /> (Oh, and I'd really like to hear the story about the British Baby Boomer!) </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/new-here-need-help-im-on-a-mission#post-9 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 03:42:43 +0000 richs 9@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>Hi! My name is Rich...</p> <p>I have an amazing and inspiring success story, about a British Baby Boomer to share.</p> <p>But first let me inform you of this...</p> <p>I'm currently trying to network with baby boomers.<br /> I myself am not a Baby Boomer.<br /> I'm actually 37. I currently live in The Sunshine &amp; Hurricane State of Florida.</p> <p>The reason I am trying to reach out Baby Boomers is because of the current economic situation which despite what the genius in Washington &amp; Wall Street say is not getting better. I pay attention to the markets and I would not trust those fools for a second.</p> <p>Anyways... The organization that I work with is growing and we are trying to tap as many markets as possible with our products.</p> <p>What we offer is alternative incomes... and in depth financial education so that you can invest money with supreme confidence!!!</p> <p>We are currently marketing a year old Portable Business System which gives you the opportunity to 11 sources of income. That's correct 11 streams of income from one item.</p> <p>We are currently offering this product in 107 countries and sales are picking up despite the economic slump. We hope to go public in about 2 maybe 3 years.</p> <p>Please take a look at this short video testimonial from a not so young 53 Year Old British Grand Mother who lost her job, was in desperate straights and used this product to not only replace her lost income, but earn significantly more than what she had been earning previously. She has done so well that she earned an award from our company for setting a record in generating income... She made $250,000 in her very first year... With absolutely no previous experience at all. That is simply amazing...</p> <p>Follow the link to meet Ann: <a href="http://sn.im/grann4" rel="nofollow">http://sn.im/grann4</a></p> <p>Please get in touch with me if you have any questions.<br /> It does look like this forum is a bit unpopulated right now but, I am on mission which I will not go into details about here...</p> <p>Thank you Joe</p> <p>Rich </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/introducing-the-baby-boomers-blog-carnival#post-7 Thu, 06 Aug 2009 14:12:55 +0000 Joe Hauckes 7@http://babyboomersus.net/ I'm starting a New Feature, the <strong>Baby Boomers Blog Carnival</strong>, over at the BB Blog.<br /> <center><a href="http://blogcarnival.com/bc/submit_7909.html"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-72" title="bblogo3" src="http://blog.babyboomersus.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/bblogo3-150x150.jpg" alt="Baby Boomers U.S." width="150" height="150"/></a></center><br /> Just click on the Logo &amp; submit your article.<br /> If you'd like to read a little about it first, check out <a href="http://blog.babyboomersus.net/2009/08/introducing-the-baby-boomers-blog-carnival/">this post on the Blog</a>.<br /> It will run weekly on every Wednesday morning from now until forever (I'm sure we'll never run out of things to write about!) &lt;img src=&quot;http://babyboomersus.net/my-plugins/pb--bb-smilies/default/icon_lol.gif&quot; title=&quot;:lol:&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; http://babyboomersus.net/topic/the-key-master#post-3 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 20:16:08 +0000 Joe Hauckes 3@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>I'm not really sure if I like that term, but it comes with the terrritory. &lt;img src=&quot;http://babyboomersus.net/my-plugins/pb--bb-smilies/default/icon_wink.gif&quot; title=&quot;:wink:&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; <br /> My name is Joe Hauckes and if you have any comments, questions or any difficulty whatsoever, just contact me and I'll take care of it personally.<br /> Thanks for being here at Baby Boomers US and I hope you find something interesting and helpful while having some fun and great conversation. </p>
