The idea would be you would have one person you could call for whatever gadget or computer question, like what's wrong with my email or how do I send pictures through text message on my cell phone. </p> <p>I thought it sounded great but was curious to see what other 'boomers' would think of such an idea. I usually online go online to send emails or look at pictures so I would love to have one person to call to ask all my 'dumb' questions to but I'm not sure if I'm just way behind the curve even for my generation. </p> <p>If you're interested in sharing your thoughts I'd love to hear them. Thanks! </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/not-30-anymore-who-noticed#post-38 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 17:13:12 +0000 Eva Pasco 38@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>I've never bought into the hype of aging or becoming my dad's Oldsmobile sedan now that I'm past the milestone of thirty. I honestly don't feel compromised physically as I've always been an avid exercise enthusiast so my lifestyle hasn't changed any. What I have noticed is that I've reinvented myself to keep up with my intellectual growth and evolving interests. </p> <p>We Baby Boomers are in our prime! </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/living-arrangements#post-36 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 15:50:52 +0000 Eva Pasco 36@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>No, that's understandable, but some sort of friendship, even if begrudgingly. </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/living-arrangements#post-35 Wed, 03 Feb 2010 15:33:10 +0000 Joe 35@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>"I think there is still love there" to paraphrase Jeff Goldbergs father in the movie "Independence Day". &lt;img src=&quot;http://babyboomersus.net/my-plugins/pb--bb-smilies/default/icon_cool.gif&quot; title=&quot;8)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/living-arrangements#post-33 Wed, 03 Feb 2010 13:28:32 +0000 Eva Pasco 33@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>Another forum topic I've revived...your ex-wife must be a very gracious woman to extend her hospitality. </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/fitness#post-30 Wed, 03 Feb 2010 10:18:05 +0000 Joe 30@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>Eva,<br /> I only know that I used to run track in school and now I can barely walk up the stairs. &lt;img src=&quot;http://babyboomersus.net/my-plugins/pb--bb-smilies/default/icon_cry.gif&quot; title=&quot;:cry:&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; <br /> I've been making a concerted effort to do more walking, a little at a time. I can't wait til spring and maybe make it all the way around the block! &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; </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/fitness#post-28 Tue, 02 Feb 2010 16:11:53 +0000 Eva Pasco 28@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>Beautygrl,</p> <p>You're absolutely right. For years I'd been an avid jogger, then switched to working out on the elliptical trainer. The impact is too jarring as our cartilage wears and we haven't the cushion we used to.</p> <p>Eva Pasco<br /> Author, UNDERLYING NOTES </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/fitness#post-26 Mon, 01 Feb 2010 13:26:16 +0000 FitnessOver50 26@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>I work with a trainer for 3 months and then 3 months off.</p> <p>Using the trainer helps me to keep a program together that works for me.</p> <p>I am actually getting stronger and able to do more exercises with greater intensity.</p> <p>Peter<br /> FitnessOver50 </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/fitness#post-24 Wed, 27 Jan 2010 15:04:58 +0000 Joe 24@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>Hey Beautygrl,<br /> Thanks for the link, I think they may be a little easier on my hips since I can't run (and barely walk sometimes).<br /> Gotta check out more. </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/fitness#post-23 Wed, 27 Jan 2010 14:19:43 +0000 Beautygrl09 23@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>Hey boomers,</p> <p>Just wanted to talk about how your fitness routine has changed. I'm a health nut, but I can't keep up with my old routine (too hard on the knees). I've turned to fitness videos; my favorites are by Mirabai Holland, called Moving Free. They're great--I never feel too sore in the morning, and there's no stress on my joints. Check her out at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Moving-Free/174976698070?ref=ts" rel="nofollow">http://www.facebook.com/pages/Moving-Free/174976698070?ref=ts</a> if you're lookin' for a good workout!</p> <p>What's your fitness routine now that we're gettin' old and gray? </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/living-arrangements#post-4 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 19:24:41 +0000 Joe 4@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>Frankly, at this stage of life I thought where I lived would have been a gimmie. However, due to some personal and life changes, I have had to move back in with my x-wife.<br /> It's not really a bad arrangement, but my cash flow isn't what it used to be and sometimes I am just plain embarrassed to admit that I can't do some of the things I used to do without giving it a second thought (going to the Ball game, jumping in the car and taking a day trip, just going out to dinner).<br /> Life is still good, just different! </p>
