Do Manners Still Matter? | BoomerBabies

https://linzolinzo.wordpress.com/2013/12/19/do-manners-still-matter

Deep thoughts, cute shoes. Do Manners Still Matter? December 19, 2013. A teenager pulls into the handicapped space at the store and flicks her cigarette on the ground as she rushes by you. A dad in a pickup truck snags the parking space you’ve been waiting for just as its occupant backs out. The store clerk ignores you to talk on the phone while you stand there, fuming. Whatever happened to old-fashioned manners? US News and World Report. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. During a meeting, all of the wome...

Beating the Post-Holiday Blahs | BoomerBabies

https://linzolinzo.wordpress.com/2013/01/10/beating-the-post-holiday-blahs

Deep thoughts, cute shoes. Beating the Post-Holiday Blahs. January 10, 2013. When I was a kid, we had a holiday tradition that never failed. Every Christmas, after the last gift was finally opened and the living room was a sea of crumpled wrapping paper, my father would look at the mess around the room and dourly proclaim, “Well, that’s it for another year.”. And so it is. So what do you do with the kids when it’s all over except for the credit card bills? Plan an outing for a factory tour like a crayon ...

Deep thoughts, cute shoes. 20 Things I’ve Learned in 20 Years of Marriage. August 20, 2014. 20 years ago today, I woke up scared to death that I was getting married. So scared that when the busboy wandered by and asked me if I would like a drink while I was getting dressed, I thought for a minute, then replied, Why, I believe I would. As a good friend of mine who attended my wedding kindly pointed out, You were a drunk. That was in 1994. Two decades later, I am still learning. When your spouse wants to g...

Raisin Bran, Forever? | BoomerBabies

https://linzolinzo.wordpress.com/2013/04/26/raisin-bran-forever

Deep thoughts, cute shoes. Raisin Bran, Forever? April 26, 2013. Intense passion and marriage are concepts that are intrinsically at odds with one another. One is fickle, changing, restless. The other is (supposedly) stable, reliable, permanent. So why do we still believe that we’re automatically entitled to both in the same relationship? Yet we still feel as if we are entitled to one true love that lasts forever. Unfortunately, as everyone finds out sooner or later, the world is not a wish-granting ...

Deep thoughts, cute shoes. Personal tragedy can fuel drive to help others. December 19, 2013. Every once in a while, you meet someone who permanently alters the way that you see the world. That happened to me a few weeks ago when I was introduced to Jen Griffin. For example, instead of giving up baking and cooking, which she had enjoyed in her previous life, Jen put her problem-solving abilities to creative use and came up with new ways to get the job done. (Watch her making brownies. If a kid wants to l...

The Christmas Connection | BoomerBabies

https://linzolinzo.wordpress.com/2013/12/18/the-christmas-connection

Deep thoughts, cute shoes. December 18, 2013. The numbers people are talking once again about how Christmas provides a much-needed boost to the economy. How many dollar signs will be charted, how many millions of dollars spent. But the holiday season does more than just get people to buy their father-in-law another sweater he doesn’t need. For example, Christmas forces us to take a break and do things like:. 8211; Visit family and friends. For example, I live in Dallas and am now packing to go to Chicago...
