Blogging Boomers Carnival #229

I am pleased to host the Blogging Boomer Carnival #229 this week which brings you an eclectic mix of  articles, advice and a sprinkling of adventure.

Praying for that empty nest? Be careful what you pray for. . . Why have so many Americans lost their cool? . . .   Do you know how much your cookbooks weight? A very weighty questions to ponder. . .  The most important things about mid-life weight loss. . .  A Turkiye Odyssey; Emperors, Sultans and one idyllic mountain-top inn . . Can you balance in your leisure activities? . . .Where to live in retirement? . . . Reminiscing about flying in the 60s.

The Midlife Crisis Queen's been thinking about how absolutely surrounded we are today with advertising, even that embedded in the Internet information we seek out, causing her to ask: How do you feel about 24/7mind control?

On a lighter note, she would like to share with you the most important thing she has learned aboutmidlife weight loss. 







Tom Sightings reports that, just as they were standing around the kitchen talking about some plans for remodeling, the topic of moving came up. "Well, we don't want to stay here forever," B told him. So, suddenly, the subject of where to live in retirement was brought to the floor. Check it out if you want to see what direction the conversation is heading.
