In a reversal of trends, American baby boomers scored lower on a test of cognitive functioning than did members of previous generations, according to a new nationwide study.

A fun, funny, yet practical gift book containing 100 removable stickers that congratulate supposed grown-ups on a job well done... or at least a job done. Despite official reports, members of Generation X and younger feel completely and totally ill-prepared to deal with anything. They still, as purportedly self-sufficient adults, look toward Baby Boomers and the Greatest Generation and think, How did they do that? So the easiest and best way to find comfort is to look not ahead at uncertainty (or, heaven forbid, around at the chaos currently surrounding them), but to the past to their simpler childhoods. The generation who championed the coloring book-as-relaxation trend grew up in a world in which they spent hours obsessing over, trading, and decorating with stickers. And it is with brightly colored stickers that they will finally find peace of mind. For a little while, at least. Filled with 100 full-color removable stickers that can be used to decorate journals, notebooks, or your lapel to proudly and publicly proclaim life's little victories, I Adulted is the ideal nostalgic and practical book for anyone who feels a sense of accomplishment by making it through a day without calling their mother for help.

During the 1980s and 1990s, aging Baby Boomer parents constructed a particular type of memory as they attempted to laud their own parents' wartime accomplishments with the label \"The Greatest Generation.\" This book is the first to tell the entire story of this particular type of U.S. World War II memory begun by U.S. President Ronald Reagan in 1984, and promoted the same year by newscaster Tom Brokaw. The story continues in 1994, when it was given academic credence by historian Stephen E. Ambrose, a sensory realism and ideal American character by director Steven Spielberg and actor Tom Hanks, sloganized by Tom Brokaw in 1998, and later interpreted in light of 9/11 and new wars.
OK, BOOMER Sarcastic Meme Button One 1.25" pinback button (or refrigerator magnet) with the phrase ‘OK, BOOMER’ The Baby Boomers were beneficiaries of the hard work and courage of their own parents, the so-called Greatest Generation. With European manufacturing in ruins after World War II, America dominated the world in job creation and standard of living. Houses were inexpensive, food was plentiful, and families could be supported on one income. But where Boomers rode on an ascendant middle class, today Millennials inherit a world with skyrocketing education expenses, a shrinking job market, and the threat of global climate change. Downward mobility is increasingly the norm in the United States, a country built on aspiration. And the millennial generation is pretty sick of being told to pick themselves up by their bootstraps*, because that worked for their parents. According to a newspaper article, “'OK Boomer' Marks the End of Friendly Generational Relations ..."Ok boomer" has become Generation Z's endlessly repeated retort to the problem of older people who just don't get it, a rallying cry for millions of fed up kids.” In this same article, Gen-Z vendors of “OK Boomer” merchandise say they plan to use the proceeds to pay off their debts. Wear this button while trespassing on other peoples’ lawns, while explaining to your parents why you will never have kids, or while eating avocado toast and browsing on your iPhone. Great for Thanksgiving! Perfect for Secret Santa! Stick the magnet on your 80 sq foot refrigerator! Large 2.25" button is that much boomier! Pin back on each button. Flat collet magnet strong enough to hold up an envelope, or 2-3 sheets of paper. US penny for scale. Penny and ruler NOT included in price of button/magnet. 1.25 inches = 3.175 cm. A portion of the proceeds from this button will go to benefit the My Wallet Foundation. * This phrase actually comes from the fictional exploits of Baron Munchausen, and is not meant to represent something that can be done by an actual non-tall-tale-telling person

Railroad Ties; Broken Hearts and Mended Lives is the embellished true life story of a brother and sister growing up in America sandwiched between the Greatest Generation and the Baby Boomers. The narrative opens in San Francisco shortly after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. We join Luana and Jimmy as they embark, hand in hand, guided by destiny and challenged by fate, on their shared journey through this life, where situations take them and the times demand they go. The author, Luana Lundquist-Rowland is a Jungian trained and California licensed marriage and family therapist. Her medium is Sandplay Therapy. Her specialty is children. In her thirty years of practice she has written hundreds of case histories. Now at long last she crafts her brothers and her own. As Luana sits at her desk across from an ebony framed photograph of her brother and herself as adorable children she takes pen in hand and begins writing Jimmy's obituary. What starts as a reverie of their often bewildering early life experiences, becomes a tender tale of strength and weakness, betrayal and forgiveness, broken hearts and mended lives. What emerges is Luana's growing understanding for and then acceptance of Jimmy's untimely death as a result of his life-long addiction to alcohol, as an inevitability. The narrative begins as the young children are escorted to the Southern Pacific Train Station in Oakland, California. They are upon arrival deposited in the capable hands of kind eyed porters. This sixteen hour journey sets the stage for the bond of love that binds these two for a lifetime.
The 9/11 attacks are the most significant historic event in living history, a cross-generational poll has revealed, with Silent Generations, Baby Boomers, Gen X and Millennials all choosing it.
