About the Nostalgia Page.

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010 at 5:03 pm

This really isn’t the nostalgia page at all. The nostalgia page is in the above margin above the header but I just thought I’d introduce it here.

As a result of the feedback and comments I received about the “Older than dirt” post I thought I’d reserve a special page just for nostalgia.

Since this blog is really from a baby boomer for the benefit of other baby boomers, we should see some amusing and maybe “lump in throat” memories emerge.

The whole idea is to just go to the nostalgia page above and write about a nostalgic memory. Preferably your post should be about things that no longer exist such as the way things were done “back in the olden days when WE were kids”

However you don’t have to be a baby boomer to post on the nostalgia page.

Any interesting stories you might have about the past are welcome. Maybe you heard something from your parents or grandparents which will be fine.

I’ll start it off with a few and hopefully others will add to it as time goes by.

Just click on the nostalgia page at the top of this page or click here to start.

There’s a term that’s been floating around internet marketing circles now for some years and is still worth a mention here, if for no other reason than to remind myself of its meaning and complications.

The term is “Information Overload” and can be an extremely serious drawback to budding internet marketers.

These days I’m still restricted to a satellite connection which is just so much better than dial up and allows me to get serious about internet marketing for baby boomers but information overload has very nearly put an end to a baby boomer’s journey toward internet marketing on numerous occasions.

Someone sent this to me today in an email.

Considering the topic of my blog I thought I’d include it here as part of a post for those old enough to remember:

“Someone asked the other day, ‘What was your favorite ‘fast food’ when you were growing up?’
‘We didn’t have fast food when I was growing up,’ I informed him.
‘All the food was slow.’

‘C’mon, seriously. Where did you eat?’
‘It was a place called ‘home,” I explained !

‘Mum cooked every day and when Dad got home from work, we sat down together at the dining room table, and if I didn’t like what she put on my plate, I was allowed to sit there until I did like it.’ Read the rest of this entry
