Robin may kill me for asking this. but do you think we should have our own TBD tv station. in house and what have you? I mean it is not as though we lack in having issues to discuss. I think it would be great.

Especially in the morning, we could have people say whatever crazy stuff they want from everywhere to get the TBD day going?

Could you imagine the expert speakers on some of the topics?smile.

it would be the pioneer in babyboomer internet television.

This is a great idea!

Politically, maybe it's time we got out there and put our 2 cents worth in and make it clear we've actually learned something during our lives and we're not done applying what we've learned to the world.

I'd add things like fashion for all ages. Because the regular stations and affiliates seem to think that talking about fashion for people in their 50s covers it. The internet is pretty much the same. From what I see, once a woman hits 60, even fashion is too much for her. At 70, I guess you're supposed to wear a sack.

I'm always looking for garden tools etc that are lighter weight, don't require bending etc. because the ones I have are no longer appropriate. I don't like being treated like I'm a poor old lady just because I want something that fits my needs.

When is the last time you heard anyone review jar openers or shelves that slide and lift things up, or tell you how to install them without killing your back, or inflaming the arthritis in your hands? There are plenty of people in all generations that could use this info, it's just a little more common in those of us who've lived a while.

I could go on and on and on. Lots of ideas and info and help for younger people, but 50-60-70-80...

right on. I like your fighting, defiiant spirit. your comments are more than on point in many ways. marketers have forsaken us. we can still do things. we can still create, develop and market to ourselves.

Nope.

Sponsors would be needed and that means commercials.

I would have to then join myspace.

Well, maybe not.

Just what I need another time consuming diversion.

Oh my. I'd have to get out of my bathrobe.
