Stalking and Being Stalked
November 10, 2014
It’s taken awhile for Life in the Boomer Lane to notice that she is being stalked by products she has searched for online. There are, apparently, companies, most likely founded and run by recently toilet-trained tots, whose job is to imprint whatever LBL searches for and to then cause those items to appear on […]
Dating: The Soft Breakup
November 9, 2014
Human beings have always had a hard time finding the “right” person. Back in prehistory, a lot of potential relationships were ruined by the untimely demise of a prospective mate, due to being eaten by large out-of-control mammals. The unsuspecting (and single) ones who survived were often hunted down and captured by singles on […]
The Jobs Report
November 5, 2014
Huffington Post, in addition to its usual piece, bleating that sex over age 50 is the BEST SEX EVER, has an article about post-60-year-olds’ first jobs. This got Life in The Boomer Lane to stop thinking about election results, in order to free up enough brain cells to address herself to the topic of […]

Let’s also be clear about something else: Life in the Boomer Lane is non-aggressive to […]

Your Cat Wants to Kill You First and Then Make You Crazy

No one would deny that we have been drowning lately in a tsunami of very bad news. If you feel that things couldn’t get any worse, you should know that they just have. And, if you are a cat-owner, they have just gotten so much worse, that you might want to stop reading this […]
An Interview With 114-Year-Old Anna Stoehr
October 17, 2014
Life in the Boomer Lane’s father was often fond of saying “The first 100 years are the hardest.” Anna Stoehr of Minnesota proves him wrong. Stoehr, age 114, was forced to lie about her age in order to join Facebook. She was born in 1900, but Facebook doesn’t let new users choose a birth […]
