Boomers life in song

I've seen fire and I've seen rain.

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name.

I've gone to Kansas City; I've sung in the sunshine.

I've been on the road again, with Georgia on my mind.

Like a rolling stone, I've given peace a chance.

I've put my camel to bed and danced the last dance.

Mr. Tambourine man played a song for me,

I've whispered words of wisdom, let it be.

I've fallen into a burning ring of fire, and walked the line,

To all the girls I've loved before, you were always on my mind.

I've been everywhere, I've been so lonesome I could cry,

I've driven my Chevy to the levee when the levee was dry.

I've been to ltchycoo Park in a yellow submarine.

I've made the scene in a time machine.

I've done the Hokey Pokey and turned myself around.

I've welcomed baby back to the poor side of town.

I've followed the tracks of my tears down a long and winding road.

I've kept on searching for a heart of gold.

I've sought shelter from the storm, I've sat on the dock of the bay.

I've rocked around the clock, on a sunshiny day.

I've knocked on Heaven's door, blowing in the wind.

Joy to the world, those were the days my friend.

Lay lady lay, in crimson and clover.

It's been a hard day's night, the party's over.

How old is old?

65 Years old is still young!

How old is old? World Health Organisation (WHO) had declared that 65 years old is still considered young. Before, based on the Friendly Societies Act (1875) in Britain, old was defined by the age of 50. The UN has not adopted a standard criterion but lately 60 years old was referred to as the border age to the word ‘old’. However, the health organization had done new research recently, according to average health quality and life expectancy and defined a new criterion that divides human age as follows:

0 to 17 years old: underage

18 to 65 years old: youth or young people

66 to 79 years old: middle-aged

80 to 99 years old: elderly or senior

100+ years old: long-lived elderly

What's the story here?

Men and women see the same things through different lenses, here is an oldie but a goodie that illustrates the point. The story is taken from Women vs Men & Men vs Women
By Ian Black, Lesley Riddoch. This is a very funny book and I recommend it to you.

Her Side of the Story:

He was in an odd mood Sunday night. We planned to meet at a bar for a drink. I spent the afternoon shopping with the girls and I thought it might have been my fault because I was a bit later than I promised, but he didn't say anything much about it.

The conversation was very slow going so I thought we should go off somewhere more intimate so we could talk more privately. We went to this restaurant and he was STILL acting a bit funny. I tried to cheer him up and started to wonder whether it was me or something else. I asked him, and he said no. But I wasn't really sure.

So anyway, in the car on the way back home, I said that I loved him deeply and he just put his arm around me. I didn't know what the hell that meant because you know he didn't say it back or anything.

We finally got back home and I was wondering if he was going to leave me! So I tried to get him to talk but he just switched on the TV. Reluctantly, I said I was going to go to bed. Then after about 10 minutes, he joined me and to my surprise, we made love.

But, he still seemed really distracted, so afterwards I just wanted to confront him but I just cried myself to sleep. I just don't know what to do anymore. I mean, I really think he's seeing someone else.
