\"Where_we_blog\"<\/a>This message is coming to you from Don’t Gel Too Soon blogging HQ (pictured to your left.)  I am fortunate to participate in a Blogging Boomers Carnival – and this week — week number 67, I’m the host(ess.)
You’ll find links and descriptions of posts by all my fellow Carnivalites; they’re a diverse, talented group, so knock yourself out.<\/p>\n

Gloria Steinem used to say her greatest fear was ending up a bag lady.  For many of the rest of us, it’s ending up in a house full of old newspapers and unmatched socks.  Rhea Becker at The Boomer Chronicles<\/a> has some interesting information on hoarding.<\/p>\n

Is popular culture your thing?  I Remember JFK’s<\/a> Ron Enderland has a nice piece about changes in TV as the 70s rolled around, and a show called Hee Haw <\/em>(you had to be there.)  It’s a great slice of media history with a personal touch.<\/p>\n

Those two glamor queens at Fabulous After 40, Deborah Boland and JoJami Tyler are all about great spring outfits <\/a>(and shoes!)  Who says over 40 has to mean out of style?<\/p>\n

On a more serious note, John Agno over at So Babyboomer, tell us that "Companies and government agencies have long anticipated the "retirement brain drain<\/span><\/a>"—-the tidal wave of Baby Boomers starting to leave the workforce.  Will the
\nplace whereyou work continue to thrive when Baby Boomers retire and take their
\nknowledge with them?<\/p>\n

**For some reason, this post by the great Janet Wendy of GenPlus just arrived – even though she sent it last week!  So be sure and read it!  In honor of Earth Day\/Month\/Year, she focuses on how we can have a brighter planet by taking a cue from www.BrighterPlanet.com and their carbon offset visa card.  Their site is a must-visit and read for any responsible earthling<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And from Ann Harrison at Contemporary Retirement, tips on ways to thrive on a more personal level: How are your first aid skills?  Would you know what to do if
\nsomeone severed a finger?  How about a sprained ankle – would you apply heat or
\na cold pack?  If you’re not sure, head over to Contemporary Retirement and
\ndiscover the top 10 first aid mistakes<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to give some first aid to your relationships with others, stop at The Midlife Crisis Queen’s blog and learn How to be an Adult in Relationships<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, from Wesley Hein, LifeTwo:  Things
\nyou can do to start "Aging Backwards<\/a>" that cost little or no money, according to
\nlooking young expert Jackie Silver…<\/span><\/div>\n

My own post, appearing just below this one, is about the Clinton-Obama race and its relationship to 1968<\/a>.
<\/span><\/p>\n

Hope you’ve enjoyed all these great ideas as much as I have….
