Get ‘er done, Boomer style
November 9th, 2007 by Sally Franz
NOVEMBER 12th
Yeah, I know, I’m quoting Larry the Cable Guy, and it’ s probably a sexual reference and then there’s the source, which makes it a redundant dilemma, or at least a juxtaposed fauxpax (?) but the truth is…this is no time to rest on our laurels (a Greek word for cottage cheese thighs the size of a sack of Golden Ore potatoes). NOW is the time to face the ticking clock and amortization tables at your insurance agent’s office and get with the program! It is time to become a Super Hero for the planet. Okay, just the living things on the planet (’cuz as George Carlin says, the planet is a rock…it will outlast us all).
Don’t let depression, terminal illness, humiliation, divorce, betrayal, or the ongoing BS of life stop you (believe me I know about this stuff first hand). Don’t cloud the issue. The issue is YOU. Your dreams, your potential, your ‘rest of your life’!
READ: THE MESSAGE OF THE WEEK (on the left column of this site) to see what I mean.
CHECK OUT: FREE STUFF, I have posted the first 2 Chapters of my next book, “Scrambled Legs” about a rare and ‘nasty-a$$’ auto-immune attack that left me paralyzed for a spell (book out next year). Also, posted: the first few chapters of a book that is a perfect Boomer Holiday Gift for any gender or species: “The Baby Boomers Guide to Menopause.” Book can be ordered through the Boomer Boutique!
Here’s a twisted little game…write your obituary and include the stuff you want folks to remember: gave lots o’ cash to charity, spent time helping single moms and their kids, prayed for everything and every one, planted 100 trees a year, cooked massive dinners and invited people over who were having a bad time of it.
This morbid little exercise is always a good idea. It gets you motivated and if you file it, that means the kids or an ex won’t be the one to put your ‘obit’ in the paper, Ex. “He died, He was buried and He Froze again”. That’s a joke for all you church goers…and yes, it is funny. Remember I used to be a Lutheran Youth minister. Now Luther knew funny. (No not Lex Luther, oy vey.)
This is the last lap around folks. We get one more HUGE shot at getting this right. Make amends, make cakes, or make -out. But do something with what cha got. Check out all the side bars on the site for a ba-zillion (I’m addicted to exaggeration, my all time favorite vice!!!) new ideas or stuff that will make you laugh!
We have a WINNER! Special thanks to my Abu Simbel buddy, Dale, for his photo. Click on ‘What’s Your Sign’. Gauntlet thrown! Who can top this one?
Come on, vamos, Arg! It be the first day of the rest of your ever-loving, Baby Booming, always blooming, BIG FINISH here–da-dah, dah-dah, ta-dah, LIFE.
So, yeah, Get ‘er done!
