   Posted by: goinglikesixty    in Baby Boomer, Health, Research

Maybe you don’t have a hearing problem, but if you are a boomer, chance are you do - or will have.  Loud cars, loud cycles, loud concerts, loud music, you lived the life, you know what I’m sayin’. May is Better Hearing Month.  Good time to get a hearing test, even if it’s just to establish a [...]

The birds chirping, the sound of lawn mowers in the distance, the occasional car on the street even small planes overhead helped minimize my tinnitus. Three things [...]

Why Am I So Moved by This Stranger’s Misfortune?

Only the Sleep Deprived Buy Stock at it’s High

   Posted by: goinglikesixty    in Baby Boomer, Entertainment, Health, Research, Technology

Wallstrip.com is one of the best vlogs on the web.  They are hot - having been picked up by most of the major business websites because of their “stock culture meets pop culture” style. Wallstrip.com is also unique because they focus on stocks at an all time high.  The worse possible time to buy, right?  Nope.  [...]

Copper Construction Caper Confuses Cops

   Posted by: goinglikesixty    in Baby Boomer, Entertainment

As the cost of copper has risen, so have thefts of the precious metal throughout Middle Tennessee, and police are enlisting the help of scrap buyers in hopes of making the crime less profitable.  It’s a serious matter to be sure, but I bet you most boomers can’t think of copper being stolen without remembering the [...]
