Chatty, your spunk makes you alot younger than many young people I know.

Dotsie...I dare make a suggestion. How about having just a writing contest for everyone in your site and forum, without the boomer age limit. I think it's a shame not to include someone like Chatty, who is such a vital part of this forum. Hope I haven't stepped over my grounds, but I just had to let it out.

I remember going to a dancing class run by the Cooperative Education Society.It taught Scottish Country Dance.The kind with men in kilts and ladies inwhite with rartan sash over their shoulder.I had looked forward to it dor a long time.
Alas..it was for age eight upwards and I was only seven and a half.I had to wait until the October after my birthday in May.I was devestated.
In the fifties and sixties the hobby was big here.Each week a TV programe showed the best dancers .So at weddings we all did our steps.
I did attend for years...did well and learned the importance of team work.
But that night I was turned about for being ....too young...hurt.

No problem Dotsie, I was one of the winners in JJ's contest, what a thrill that was. I guess I need to start paying more attention to my real age. Yuk phooey!!!

Hannelore, Dotsie does have writing contest on a monthly basis...all last year and the year before that. They are posted on the Boomer Women Speak homepage in the important announcement seciton. Chatty entered some of those. I'm not sure what you are referring to with your suggestion. But then again, I can be soooo blonde sometimes. LOL!

This particular contest is sponsored by the association which is an assocation for BABY BOOMERS...hence, the people entering are requested to be of boomer age. Does that help?

Oh...didn't know that JJ. Guess I'm the blond one around here.

I was just stickin' up for Chatty...who seemed so sad cause she wanted to be included in the contest.

What happens when we all get as old as Chatty? Will this forum get a new title? Like...After Boomer Bloomers...or somethin'...?

Let me understand:
the boomer forum members who ARE born in the boomer years can submit?
