Baby Boomers

  On the Boomer generation.  It seems that there are too many years that are considered to be part of the Boomer generation.  Some boomer babies born right after the end of World War II were having babies of their own during what is now considered to be the Boomer generation.  Interestingly, I have an aunt (well three of them actually but I am thinking of one) who was born prior to the end of World War II.  Her parents are of the Greatest Generation (her father fought in WWII) and there is no generation between them and the post war boomer babies, so my aunt is also a part of the same generation as her parents.  I came into the world evidently to be an early Gen Xer, whatever that means.  Well, I guess I should have a pretty good idea of what it means.  It means I was plunked right into a bizarre life of experiencing and living in two very different worlds!

My husband was born in the last month of the last year of the baby boomer generation.  December 1964.  He will be 60 tomorrow.  Actually he is 60 today because it is already past midnight.  This is the last month ever in history for baby boomers to turn 60.

Scientology

 Earlier today, I found myself thinking about Scientology.  I remember that years ago, I watched the TV series “The Path” on Hulu.  After that, I watched (I don’t recall on what streaming service) “Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath” with Leah Remini and Mike Rinder.  This program about Scientology had three seasons and was all about the practices of Scientology and the harm and abuse perpetrated by this cult religion.  It was eye-opening for sure.  I had never previously learned much about cult movements and cult religions, and it was shocking to me to think that such harmful organizations actually exist in the United States of America and that children are born into these cults.  I knew there were religions such as the Jehovah Witnesses and the Fundamentalist Latter-day Saints but I never really knew much about these abusive religions.  While watching the Leah Remini series, I realized that this organization was even worse and more harmf...

COVID

One of the unsettling things about COVID-19 was that before actually contracting it, no one could be absolutely certain where they might fall on its’ Russian roulette wheel of lethalness.  Healthy people with few risk factors could take comfort in believing that they would be unlikely to become seriously ill, but there were always stories and cases in the news of young and seemingly unlikely victims who had in fact lost their lives to COVID.  When I finally got it myself in summer 2022, I had very brief and mild symptoms.  I might totally have my vaccinations to thank for this because in years gone by before I started getting annual flu shots, I had some flus that did a good job of kicking my but and keeping me down for a full week. I must have written that for the benefit of some future people who know little about COVID-19, because obviously anyone who has recently gone through the pandemic doesn’t need this information. 🫢
