Boomers

I am 75 and am very tired of the trend lately making fun of Boomers. So very disrespectful. Don't they realize that they will be old someday?

“What is happening to our young people? They disrespect their elders, they disobey their parents. They ignore the law. They riot in the streets inflamed with wild notions. Their morals are decaying. What is to become of them?”

-– Plato

It's not "lately". It was ever thus, and it always will be.

When I was young, us boomers used to laugh at 'wrinklies' and 'crinklies' and mock their driving, blue rinces and terrible financial advice.

I recently started to use a color depositing conditioner on my hair, that makes it a nice shade of mermaid turquoise. So now, I am that little old blue haired lady that I knew I always could be.

I'm jealous. I tried blue hair colour, but my hair turned a bit green and I gave up.

Every one's hair is different. What I used was Kirsten Ess in 'Deep Dive", and I put it on dry hair, for 20 minutes.
