I don't agree with the usual definition of a baby boomer (born post-WWII between 1946 and the early 60's). That's too long of a time period for a true baby boom that occurred because of men coming home from one war. Now, if we include the Korean War, that would be different. Ann

I agree Ann clear into the 60,s is way too long. Its always been that way with any war, but they don't call them boomers?

A few months ago, I heard a couple of young doctors (late 20s and early 30s) say "we are going to get so rich with geriatrics". I'm not sure they realize how true that is.

I see them get rich right now form earlier wars and the elderly born from those wars. I don't see that big of a difference. MO Yes there is a lot of baby boomers but I believe if compared to even earlier wars, there would not be that big of a difference.

This is for all you Boomers: SL

I loved it, but but but in reality many boomer baby cases truly 'outdoes of the younger born. No offence meant to anyone.
'I remember when I could work: (just a few years ago) the 20 and 30 year old' were at times amazed at my stamina' I remember when a 20 something aide asked me if I would walk daily miles with her, because the others her age could not keep up with her. (I was extremely flattered)
I remain happy with my 'cancer walks' for the facilities.
I won't give in even with this 'unplanned event happened'

Think Baby Boomers are all alike? Think again. This dynamic generation is nearing the traditional age of retirement, but is in no mood to slow down. Learn how to market, sell to, do business with, or just understand this remarkable generation, from Yankelovich, Inc., the organization that knows them better than anyone else.

Yankelovich actually coined the term "Baby Boomer" back in the late 1960s, when they first started collecting data on this influential generation. Now, more than thirty years later, they have the most complete information on Boomers ever assembled. And they have put it all together in this groundbreaking look at America's largest and most powerful generation.

In Generation Ageless, Yankelovich president J. Walker Smith, Ph.D., and senior partner Ann Clurman, Boomers themselves, dig deep into what makes this generation tick. With fresh, original data and a wide-ranging look at everything about Boomers, they dissect Boomers into six major segments-Straight Arrows, Due Diligents, Maximizers, Sideliners, Diss/Contenteds, and Re-Activists-to provide new insights into the world's most talked-about generation. The results show key imperatives invaluable to anyone selling a product, service, or idea to this 78-million strong group.

Boomers are the dominant generation in America. Their values and aspirations set the tone for everyone. Advances in medicine and health mean that this youth-obsessed generation is now focused on an everlasting prime of life. They are literally middle age-less: holding onto their position at the top of the pyramid for as long as possible, and not fading away to their golden years. Today's fifty- and sixty-year-old Boomers are not eagerly anticipating lives of disengaged retirement. Instead, middle age-less Boomers expect another twenty or thirty years of impact and influence-albeit in a variety of ways reflective of a surfeit of agendas and ambitions they have yet to fulfill.

BoardFlak what a song! I loved it even if I never heard it.

However you guys and your hair? Why you adorable men worry about genetics amazes me. (it can't be helped)
Having no hair makes you appalling or less appealing?
I don't think so, and in many cases 'more appealing'

BoardFlak and all that saw the video we won't tell sear, we'll just say that video reminds me (or all of us of him)
Now to get him 'that special woman'
sear, can you 'Skip?' I know I'm bad!

No worries sear, one day you may be able to download the videos.

Who was Penny King? I googled her and got links to a porn star and a rap group and Ron Paul. None of those seem to fit the discussion at hand... Elk

I don't know Ann. It was a little before my time. But thanks so very, very, very much for thinking it wasn't!! (Grace!!) sear

What? o/k and no I had never heard of it, either. Happy BF found the answers.
