Why Can’t We All Just get Along?
Life in the Boomer Lane could barely contain her sadness over the recent dischord between some mighty high profile people. She will now bring you up to date on these events so that you can be as depressed as she is: Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa Wiz tweeted something about Kanye’s new album “Waves.” Kanye […]
Downton Abbey Wrap Up
January 13, 2016
Like many fans who have nothing better to do, Life in the Boomer Lane has been engaging in hot discussions with other fans about the current (and final) season of Downton Abbey. Word on the street is that all the story lines will be wrapped up by the end of the series. LBL has decided […]
This Post is Literally Unique
July 1, 2015
Anyone who has ever tried to read Shakespeare in the original English, must be aware that the language (any language) is always changing. Life in the Boomer Lane’s mother-in-law left Turkey decades ago and took all of her language with her. While she was absent from Turkish soil, the Turkish language wasn’t. For that […]
My Life in Front of the TV
March 12, 2015
For many years, Life in the Boomer Lane smugly told people that she didn’t watch network TV. She limited her TV viewing to shows on the Discovery and History channels (if religion consisted solely of archaeological hunts for the “real” Jesus and other mysteries of the Bible, LBL would be on board) , with […]
The Dress
March 2, 2015
A recent and ongoing phenomenon around the world is the reaction people have had to “The Dress.” Most of you who are reading this will now sigh and say, “Ah, The Dress.” Those readers who have been living in their bedrooms because they have run out of clean underwear, may not be aware of what […]
Bitch Planet
December 10, 2014
Vox Magazine had an interesting article about a new feminist comic book titled “Bitch Planet.” This comic has deep and meaningful ramifications for society’s often misguided and misogynistic culture. But, since Life in the Boomer Lane stopped caring about comics once she got too old for Betty and Veronica, she doesn’t care about this. On […]
Booty Pop
November 12, 2014
Celebs like Nicki Minaj, JLo, Beyonce and Kim Kardashian have given bodacious booties a big boost. Enter Booty Pop, a purveyor of padded panties. Booty Pop wants to be at the top of the bottom industry. Sales are up 47%, and customers are agitating for even more bountiful booty. Booty Pop hears them, and […]
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 […]
Kanye, Kats and Kontroversy
October 27, 2014
Let’s be clear, right off the bat: This is neither a post about cats nor about Kanye. This is, however, a post about what happens once one writes a blog post that may be less-than-favorable, albeit satiric, about American icons. Let’s also be clear about something else: Life in the Boomer Lane is non-aggressive to […]
How Boomers Saved Everything
December 28, 2013
While few would argue that boomers discovered fire and invented the wheel and the baby cage, AARP Magazine has a whole new crop of boomer achievements to present in its current issue. In fact, AARP will be devoting an entire year to slobbering over what we boomers have achieved. The first piece is by PJ […]
