Last weekend, Life in the Boomer Lane attended her 45th high school reunion. In January, 1965, she graduated from the Philadelphia High School for Girls, a PUBLIC, all girls, college preparatory school, in which 90% of the graduates went on to college. The other 10% must have become either Rachel Ray or Queen Elizabeth. She […]

Life in the Boomer Lane thought she had covered all of Susan’s experiences of the initial meetings with men, but she had forgotten one very important episode. When Susan agreed to her rules about coffee only/60 minute limit, she decided it would be a good idea to knock out (most likely not literally) as many […]

Life in the Boomer Lane didn’t expect to be writing another post about another Craigs List dryer. But Now Husband can’t seem to stop buying dryers on Craigs List. He bought the last one a couple months ago from some people who sell appliances that other people have left in storage and never claimed. It cost […]

The Vegetable Garden Pt1

Life in the Boomer Lane has never had any interest in planting anything in the ground, tending it, watching it grow, and then eating it. She assumed that she was genetically unable to do so, because, for many generations in Eastern Europe, her family wasn’t permitted to own land, and so the “farming genes” were […]

I feel compelled to say something about three pretty darn exciting TV events that have occurred during the past week. If you don’t watch the shows I talk about and don’t care, it doesn’t matter. You have already clicked onto this blog, and I have also just written the word “renumeration” for the first time ever. […]

When Life in the Boomer Lane’s friend, Susan, goes on actual dates, she does exactly the same things that most people do. She goes out to dinner. She goes to the movies. She goes to female impersonator shows. But somehow, the end result always seems to veer off course. Sometimes, she and the guy never […]

After Life in the Boomer Lane’s friend Susan  is contacted by men on various computer dating sites, and, after she continues to communicate with them via personal email and phone calls, she is able to eliminate most of them as not a good match for her. “Not a good match” may mean various things: One […]

For those skeptics who might be thinking that my friend Susan’s poor results are because she hasn’t put enough of an effort into online dating, rest assured that she has been on most internet dating sites since the very first one (CaveMatch.com).  She has only excluded the ones that will result in the FBI confiscating […]

 My friend Susan has had such a long, varied and rocky career as a dating single, that I, as one of her closest and dearest friends, listen to her tragic stories, and, as the caring, compassionate person I am, laugh myself sick.   It’s tough not to.  Susan seems to attract a lot of really interesting […]
