Welcome to Boomers Rock!
If you have a lens geared toward Baby Boomers (born 1946-1964), join us. There's lots here--including the Baby Boomer Lens of the Week contest--to entertain, inspire, and motivate. Enjoy.
I wish I didn't have to add this, but it pains me deeply to hit that big ole' "Reject" button for a fine lens just because its target audience is other than Boomers, so I'm settin' some ground rules. Please read 'em before you join.

Giddy Gabby's corner
1947Chuck Yeager breaks the sound barrier. Folks on the ground hear--and feel--a sonic boom for the first time. All over the world, itty bitty Baby Boomers turn one year old.
Chuck Yeager broke that barrier, but we've been breakin' 'em ever since. Squidoo helps us knock 'em down, too, and every time one of us adds a lens about something we care passionately about, we bust a hole in another one or build a bridge.
I love reading your lenses. I hope you'll enjoy mine. Can't wait for more from y'all--keep 'em coming!

Today I did html to change some text color on my baby boomer blog - my one and only so far.
Please feel free to give me any feedback.
I have not been able to wrap the text around my images in the Text/Write Module. Is that possible? Thanks for inviting me here.

Boomers Rock and its lenses are safe for general audiences
If you would see it on everyday TV, it's probably okay here
What's not okay: Pornography, nudity, an abundance of colorful language even if it meets the criteria above, vulgar language in comments on this page or in communications between lensmasters and/or public commentators
