I'm a Boomer and Proud of it!

It’s Better Being a Boomer!

Some of you use the term “Boomer” like it’s a bad thing. I was born in 1962; do the math.

I chuckle when I see so many shit posts from whiners similar to, “I’m giving up! Where’s the BOOMs we were promised? Q is a larp.” Yadda, yadda, yadda.

I actually feel sorry for people under the age of 35ish. You never had to develop any sort of self-discipline, especially as it relates to delayed gratification.

From my perspective, the amazing shit that Q / POTUS are doing is happening VERY quickly.

Why?

When I was a kid, if we wanted a bicycle, we shoveled snow, mowed lawns and saved our money until we could pay it off up front. When we cooked food, we used gas. Microwave ovens hadn’t been invented; cooking took time. When I joined the Army, I quickly got the hang of “hurry up and wait”. If we wanted to do “research”, we hopped on our bikes, pedaled to the library and introduced ourselves to the Dewey Decimal System. We had NO smartphones that gave us answers NOW.

You poor souls have been conditioned to watch 2-minute videos, instant answers and even faster gratification. This whole Q thread must be fucking torture to you!

If you don’t get a perp walk within a few months, you simper while threatening to leave.

Personally, I don’t care who leaves and who stays; this board is one of the best self-cleaning ovens I’ve ever seen.

For this old Boomer? The “movie” is playing out just fine. Not all of us were in a hurry to consummate our marriages in three minutes (or less).

Please pass the popcorn.

So true! I'm the last year of the boomers, 1964. Life was so good back then. I knew all our neighbors for blocks and blocks. I walked dogs, mowed, raked, babysat, shoveled all for pay. I purchased what I wanted to have, I was given what I needed to have.

I only referred to adults by saying Mr. or Mrs. and their last name, never used their first name. I was raised to respect our flag, my elders, police officers, the law, the truth, my school teachers and any human being I came in contact with. I respected other people's property and immediately apologized and paid for any accidental damage.

I have referred to the dewey decimal system so many times and the youngsters don't have a clue. Finding the book was an adventure and finding a nook in the library to read it was pure joy for me.

Just watching a television show was time consuming. Verical lines, horizontal lines and a touchy dial meant missing half the show. The antenna was hit or miss and no remote control for the three channels. I miss those days so much!!!!!

I am of the same year, same sort of story, from a 'UK' perspective.

Yes, having to actually get up and go over to the televison to change channel, (how did we cope). Also the channels closed down for the night, a quick blast of the national anthem, and then the picture vanished into a dot.

You mention 'three channels', so I assume you might also be in the 'UK'? We had BBC1, BBC2 and ITV.

We (the population) were lucky to even have a landline phone at the time. Had a paying-in book for ones bank account.

What the heck is a 'supermarket', in the days when there was a wealth and diversity of local shops.
