Remember When

Boomer Economic Course

Hello Boomers. I mentioned these lessons concerning our economy based on research of Chris Martenson several months ago. I highly recommend you take the Crash Course series he developed to grasp an understanding of how our economy operates, what is presently going on and how to prepare for the future. Below is Chapter 19.


If you review the sessions, let me know your thoughts!

Boomer Love for Mama and Papa's

Hello Fellow Boomers. Hay the Mama and Papa band! What joy!!! They are still one of my favorite bands. I first heard them in my parents basement on AM radio as I was in my darkroom processing some new photos. WOW! California; warm weather, blond people, alternative everything. What a time! Brings back a lot of memories of a kid growing up in Cincinnati. Listen and you will see the past of fun times...mostly in my Boomer imagination!

Boomers and Children

Mother's Day was this past Sunday and for me a good day of memories as a Boomer of the Fifties. My Mom was the best! A warm and loving person who was a magnet for children who enjoyed her good nature. One of the reasons I started My Generation was to offer a website to honor and as a remembrance of my Mom. I want, with the sales of T shirts and insurance a portion of the income to assist the new generation of children, both here and in other countries.

I would like to share a writing with you. I hope you will like it as much as I did.

A Prayer for Children

by Ina J. Hughs

We pray for children
who sneak popsicles before supper,
who erase holes in math workbooks,
who throw tantrums in the grocery store and pick at their food,
who like ghost stories,
who can never find their shoes.

And we pray for those
who stare at photographers behind barbed wire,
who can’t bound down the street in a pair of new sneakers,
who are born in places we wouldn’t be caught dead,
who never go to the circus
who live in an X-rated world.

We pray for children
who sleep with the dog and bury the goldfish
who bring us sticky kisses and fistfuls of dandelions,
who get visits from the tooth fairy,
who hug us in a hurry and forget their lunch money.

And we pray for those
who never get dessert,
who have no safe blanket to drag behind them,
who watch their parents watch them die,
who can’t find any bread to steal,
who don’t have any rooms to clean up,
whose pictures aren’t on anybody’s dresser,
whose monsters are real.

We pray for children
who spend all their allowance before Tuesday,
who shove dirty clothes under the bed, and never rinse out the tub,
who don’t like to be kissed in front of the carpool,
who squirm in church or temple and scream in the phone,
whose tears we sometimes laugh at and
whose smiles can make us cry.

And we pray for those
whose nightmares come in the daytime,
who will eat anything,
who have never seen a dentist,
who aren’t spoiled by anybody,
who go to bed hungry and cry themselves to sleep,
who live and move, but have no being.

We pray for children who want to be carried
and for those who must,
for those we never give up on and
for those who don’t get a second chance.
for those we smother...
and for those who will grab the hand of anybody kind enough to offer it.
