While everyone does indeed have their own experiences with RTPR one of the reasons I created Pain Kickers was because of the relief I witness in the eyes of those I share this natural pain relief product with. Thanks for sharing, you are quite right about the benefits of Real Time Pain Relief (RTPR).

When people move to a new location, many will throw out or donate unneeded things. Others will need help.

Sad but true! Something is missing and I think it's LOVE! An emotional shock can cause irreversible behavior change! Support of the family is the only cure!

When I was an apartment manager, I had a tenant who was a hoarder. It was so awful. Too bad I didn't know about these helpful services then!

everyone has problems, but none are too big to solve. Some people can become trapped in their own worlds, and just need a little help getting out of them.

I think it's a sign of being afraid and wanting a lot of stuff as a barrier against the outside world. The shopping part is a relief in the way that overeating is, but shopping does not make you fat.

Hoarding is something that worries me...so I tend to get rid of too much!

When people compulsively hoard items, there an underlying psychological issue that needs to be addressed. Cleaning up the mess is a good start.

Wow--that's a lot of secondary effects caused by these boomerangers, and the financial statistics speak for themselves. But many parents find themselves stuck in a pattern of financially over-indulging their adult children--with no end in sight. Time to put some financial tough love into action. I have some ideas at http://wp.me/p22afJ-JC that might walk you through ending your 'secondary effects'--and your cash hemorrhaging . Would love to hear others' ideas as well! Best, Candida

Re: How to recognise a stroke – signs all Booomers should know.

Don haider — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 08:12:32 -0000

Great info to memorize and bookmark and pass on, Peter. When I was hit by a car on my bicycle, fortunately I had an off-duty EMT stop and take control of the situation and check my condition. Part of the process is asking questions to check for any possible concussion and dizziness.
But this info is so pertinent if somebody collapses or is already on the ground while you are around, to learn the basic signs and communicate while on the phone with the emergency personnel.
We can be "heros", by knowing the simple stuff and helping out as much as we can.

Re: How can a Petunia and twitter keep us mentally alert?

Alan Jobe — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 15:06:50 -0000

Seems to me that silly need not mean unimportant nor inconsequential. imho, far too many folks take life far to seriously. I think they might be very surprised at how far being a bit sillier would get them.

Graceful Touch — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 14:29:39 -0000

There is no question that social media keeps us connected. Especially when it keeps putting out new and easier ways of keeping connected like http://bottlenose.com.

Since it is best to have something to do even after retirement you may find it a tremendous pain relief to start building hobbies and activities while still working.

Re: Why are baby boomer drivers the enemies of city planners?

Peter Wright — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 16:18:24 -0000

Thanks for the comment Dan, left turns are particularly challenging for me having driven on the other side of the road for most of my life and paying attention to right turns more than left. Even in Canada I still find right turns complicated because of the ability to turn right on a red light. 40 years conditioning to NEVER go through a red light creates a habit that is hard to change.

Jdaniel Roberts — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 14:39:34 -0000

Excellent article full of good points, Peter. I particularly liked the left hand turn thought. I believe Albert Einstein considered a left hand turn too challenging, because there were just too many variables. And in St. Louis, there is a very big and busy street named Manchester - and I have seen a T-Shirt that says, "I survived a left hand turn on Manchester." Not to brag or anything, but I actually made a left hand turn on Manchester and am here to crow about it (chuckle). Also, your site looks great. Dan (of TheWoodChips)

Re: Can Social Media Stop Baby Boomer’s Loneliness?

rdl114 — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 16:27:07 -0000

Our non-commercial website is assembling first-person writings by Baby Boomers about their experiences. We are also developing a comprehensive timeline, the first installment of which - 1946 - is available for viewing. http://boomersrememberwhen....
We're looking for first hand, first person memories of growing up as a Boomer, coming of age, or how it has informed your adult life. It could be a magic moment listening to music. It could be your first job - or your last job. First car, first love, first house, first kid. If you hated being a Boomer, say it! What we're trying to accomplish is to get a rounded, human picture of the enormous, often stereotyped generation.

Reading the ABOUT tab should make it a little clearer:

http://boomersrememberwhen....

For the moment, please send short articles or comments – no more than 400 to 500 words to rdl114@aol.com.
If you have a photo of yourself at a relevant stage of life, please include it. Please include the locale of your story and the town or city you live in now, plus your age or date of birth.
We will publish your name as John D. or Mary S., not John Doe or Mary Smith.
Thanks very much!
