My Husband Gave Me A Complex for Our Anniversary: A Guest Post by Lisa Tognola
May 31, 2013
Life in the Boomer Lane has a couple reasons she likes New Jersey. One is that she spent her high school and college years cavorting in Atlantic City (It is entirely possible to sleep three people in a motel bathroom). The other is Lisa Tognola, the author of Main Street Musings. Read her post and […]
How to Collect Social Security for 55 Years
May 17, 2013
The cover of the May issue of National Geographic shows a baby with the caption, “This Baby Will Live to be 120.” Inside the magazine is the article, titled “On Beyond 100.” Before diving headfirst into the article, Life in the Boomer Lane suspected it would be about the continuing rampant production of old people […]
Why Older Men Prefer Younger Women. Or Don’t.
March 5, 2013
On January 7, 2011, I posted a piece titled “The Myth of Older Men Wanting Younger Women.” I said that, in spite of the common belief that all older men are chasing after younger women, my experience has been otherwise.

February 22, 2013

I Am Honored, Farklempt, and Completely Pissed Off
February 20, 2013
Peg, of Peg-o-Leg’s Ramblings, is one of those bloggers who regularly knocks me down to size, which is completely depressing since I am 5’1″ tall and usually totter around in high heels and big hats so no one notices. Except they do anyway. Back to Peg. Every time I write one of my world class, priceless posts […]
