BloggingBoomers Carnival #10
Welcome to the BloggingBoomers Carnival #10! You’re gonna find a treasure chest of stuff here geared to baby boomers. OK, I’m exaggerating. Not a treasure chest. Maybe a shoebox. But a shoebox from an expensive pair of Italian loafers.
Yours truly at The Boomer Chronicles, for example, wants you to know that about 97 million Americans above the age of 45 are single. So, you’ve got to ask yourself, “What’s wrong with me that I can’t find a date?” Check out this list of dating services for baby boomer-age people.
Manopause explores the whole “50 is the new 40 is the new 30″ concept, and comes to a happy conclusion.

If science has its way, baby boomers will live a healthy life up to and past the age of 100. Read about it at Your Drum.
Learn why afternoon naps can change your life at Contemporary Retirement.
Meet both sides of the 50-plus jobless coin — a Yonkers, N.Y., job referral service geared to 50-plus clients and a North Carolina woman desperate to find a job — at Gen Plus.
What type of person do you find annoying? How much stress does that cause you? In Who Pushes Your Buttons? Barbra Sundquist from HomeBusinessWiz offers a practical way to deal with annoying people.
Motorcyles and baby boomers can be a lethal mix. Read about it at So Baby Boomer.
By now, you’ve certainly heard about NASA astronaut Lisa Nowak’s breakdown. LifeTwo explores whether her unfortunate experience is a “midlife crisis” or something else entirely.

I’ll remember the list of dating services, should I ever need it, but right now I’m completely satisfied. Albeit, it took be a couple of tries!

Do I have to wait until I’m older to begin enjoying naps again?

Wow..lots of good information.
I shudder to think of going back to dating at my age (nearly 45). If, God forbid, anything ever happened to Mrs Fab, I think I would prefer to live out the rest of my days alone.

James: Thanks! Much appreciated!
Mushy, Mr. Fab: Glad you don’t need the list.
Jay: You can nap now. It’s a great way to spend an hour.
