Midlife Memoirs – Boomers Remember
It’s about this time of life — the middle — that many in the Boomer Generation take stock of their lives, try to focus on what’s happened so far, and begin to consider future possibilities with a certain wisdom that only comes from lived experience. These are the years of midlife memoirs: writing down for yourself, or for others, something about the life you have lived and what significance it has had on who and where you are right now.
Many people journal. Short, simple thoughts, jotted on a page in a book that only the writer reads. There is no thought of publication. For those who want to share their daily musings with the world at large, blogging has become the medium of choice.
But for some, like Patricia Harman, publishing a memoir in the traditional sense (hardcover, published by a major house) is the route to go. “The Blue Cotton Gown, A Midwife’s Memoir,” is a powerful story of her life and work as a midwife in the hard scrabble world of Appalachia. The many women and families she encounters in her practice turn to her for help, and she cares for both their bodies and their spirits.
The stories she retells weave a tale of compassion where the best of self is discovered. Women dealing with life and death choices come to her for help and no matter the cost, she responds. Throughout the memoir, Harmon does not flinch from telling of her own struggles with her career, dealing with financial difficulties, doubts about the future, and her own sudden illness that threatens the medical practice that she and her husband struggle to maintain.
A compelling read! We recommend it!

In spite of our demographics, publishers aren't interested in the real lives of older women. Chick lit isn't right for us, and hag lit doesn't do it. Hen Lit, anyone? We're not the same as Gen X and Y women; although we're still looking for love and sex and intimacy, there are other things on our minds, too – staying relevant in our careers, coping with our diminishing retirement funds and bag lady nightmares, worrying about our grown kids and aging parents, dealing with the "exit" events oif this stage of our lives.After 11 books, most of them self-help titles, I've just published a Hen- lit novel for grown up women and would love your comments on it.

I do not agree with the sentence – “By choosing a larger ISO, you can reduce the noise in the images” .It should be other way around. Larger ISO increases the noise. But of course it will give a more ‘stable’ picture.

Everyone has their own opinion on what a “good” resume looks like to present to an employer. Every career service, including online career tools earns revenue from offering their services. What proof do you have that the ladders shoots down resumes that are good? What facts support an opinion? Obviously that is a rhetorical question because there are no facts to support an individual’s opinion! One headhunter may value a resume over another and it lies on a case by case basis. You don’t make any valid points in this article and you only throw out assumptions. State the facts versus assumptions please!
Very good, and proving your points, the text in this comment box is about a third of the boldness and size of the text on the rest of the page. The page conformed to my needs, but not so the comment box. One of the things I cherish is having word wrap enabled. That lets me shorten the lines before I enlarge them. That keeps all the text on the screen and I don’t have to right arrow to catch line ends. Keep it up. This is great. ===gm===

Nah, gloves while using pastels aren’t necessary. They make it harder to work, if anything, but one should always wash their hands thoroughly afterwards, and should try to avoid pastels with a bunch of unecessary chemicals in them. Pencil shavings are a biggie for me; make sure they all end up secure, those little buggers are easy to breathe in.

but the beauty of it is, no matter what the reason that the corporations shift gears, the fact that they’re talking about it and promoting it will awaken some of the mindless souls that are shopping there now…and at least get it on their radar screen. some may shift themself, and someday become more conscious consumers. the steps might be … Read Morepoorly motivated, and baby steps at that…but they ARE steps…until we figure out a way to enlighten society as a whole all at once, i’ll take any progress i can get.

It’s very great and very helpful. Thank you a lot.
You’re right about the light toggle. I’m not sure about the seats however.. I know the seats are completely different, maybe they are moutned lower because the new seats sit up higher? The rear seat is also different, and has a different mounting system.
