He is gone now for over 30 years and I still mourn his death. A piece of my heart died when Elvis died. He was larger than life and without a doubt the best entertainer who ever lived. His voice was angelic, the voice of an Archangel. I can imagine him leading the Heavenly choir.

A man of Elvis’ statue deserved to have better care. I understand that no one in his circle could bring to his attention his need to get off of the prescription drugs and seek help for his depression. Elvis was ELVIS and from the collected retelling of his life it is apparent that he was not open to such criticism. But his doctors were responsibility to give him the proper medical care. He had been hospitalized a few times prior to his death. I remember the press telling that his hospitalization was due to gall bladder problems. Whatever was the true reason for his hospitalization, that was the time his doctors were medically responsible to address his prescription drug addiction. Yes, it’s likely that Elvis made sure to have doctors who were also yes men. But, why weren’t his doctors held accountable for their malpractice?

It was another time. In the 1970s prescription drug use was not a concern and seeking psychological help was taboo. A “strong” and powerful man, such as Elvis, was highly respected. Doctors did not fear malpractice lawsuits. The ignorance of the time killed Elvis, as it did many others. Yet, this fact still does not heal the hole in my heart and keep me from crying after I watch one of his brilliant performances.

Hello To All of You Wonderful People !

I wish I had high-speed, but alas I do not and I am trapped in a Dial-Up HELL.. If I could use a magic wand …

… and suddenly speed up the process … I would. But that’s not realistic. So, I must post bulletins to say Hello. Otherwise, I am on MyBoomerPlace going from page to page and waiting for the download of each page … for hours … etc. I’m sorry I can not return all comments. Please forgive me and know that if I had high speed I’d zip through the pages in joy. In the past, I was going to the library to post comments, but I’ve taken on a second client and I just don’t have as much free time.

Messages work quickly for me from home. So, if you message me I have no problem in replying. I wanted to tell all of my Boomer friends that all is OK with me. I just have finally given into the dial-up dragon that has control of my Internet speed.





I hope I will hear from you through a message and communicate as often as we have been in touch. You Boomers are Awesome commenters and I am thankful to be a part of this great community.


Peace, Love and HUGS ! Karen

I Value Most Though ~ The priceless gift of friendship from all cited above and my other dear Internet friends:

I want to move, but I don’t know where to move. I come from “Down-State”. I’ve been living in Central “Up-State” NY for the past six years. I know it’s time for me to move. This is not where I want to live forever. I need guidance from God on this matter.

I moved up here because my father had lived here with his wife for 22 years. He said “Come and live up by us and you’ll be near family”. Well, I moved up here and they moved to South Carolina - - this action was real typical of my father. Well … I have no family up here and no true and close friends. I live in a “Snow Belt” area of NYS where the Great Lakes effect the climate - - terribly!!! … and I can’t take another winter shoveling foot after foot of snow.

Well … I just completed an application for an apartment LOTTERY. It’s an apartment in Tribeca New York City that would only cost $616.00 a month. That’s an awesome price. In Tribeca NYC a one bedroom apartment in a brand new building would run $1,500.00 a month or more. It would be fabulous to live in NYC. But it’s a LOTTERY - - My application has to be one chosen to be opened … then my application would have to be picked through the LOTTERY … then I’d have to pass an interview. But Gees Louise … I’d love to get that apartment.

My sister and her family live on Long Island. I only get to see my sister about three times a year. Her daughter, Dawn, is a blessing in my life. But I only get to see her once a year. If I lived in Tribeca NYC … I would be able to see my sister and niece with no big travel problems.

Then there’s the “things to do” factor in NYC. I LOVE MUSEUMS. I’m a little “Abby Normal” (that will only make sense to Young Frankenstein fans ). What I consider a great day is going to a museum and looking at the Impressionist paintings. I love the city - - yet, it will chew up and spit out anyone who can not truly afford to live there. I can not afford the going rents for anything “Down-State” … but if I was to win this LOTTERY - - I could afford the $616.00 monthly rent. OH GOD - - If it’s in His will I want this apartment.

Well … I needed to vent and put out there my dilemma. I could use prayers for God to guide me to the best possible living arrangement for me. I need help in this situation … a move is coming up and I’m soooo unsettled as to where I should go.

A dear friend to many of us, Bobbi21, needs our prayers. She was in remission from colon cancer. The cancer has now returned and the prognosis is not good.

Bobbi is a single mother of three children. She is only a few weeks away from graduating from college. She is pursuing a career in Social Work. She can do such good for others in this field.

May God heal Bobbi. May He pour his healing white light through her. May He give to her the miracle of remission from the cancer - In JESUS name.

Hello My Boomer Friends!

Back in April, I created a new group that can be found under Cultures and Community or just click this link:

Visit FOLLOWERS of JESUS

The group is called "Followers of Jesus". I created the group because I saw a need for a cyber fellowship of Christian / Spiritual / BELIEVERS on this site. I would love us to build a group and multiply contacts. God is AWESOME, JESUS is BEAUTIFUL. and The HOLY SPIRIT within is LIMITLESS. I pray for us to join together to glorify God, to connect with His Son, Jesus Christ, and to the Holy Spirit within us. In turn, I pray we will create a group where we can build bonds of support for each other

May God abundantly bless each of you.

With love In JESUS, Karen

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that companion goes to The Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~


All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~


They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. Her bright eyes are intent. Her eager body quivers. Suddenly she begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, her legs carrying her faster and faster. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your greatly loved companion, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Then you cross The Rainbow Bridge together .... ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Heaven will only be heaven for me with my animal companions there. I stand on Ecclesiastes 3:19-21 ~ ~ ~


"19 For what happens to the sons of men also happens to animals; one thing befalls them: as one dies, so dies the other; man has no advantage over animal, for all is vanity. 20 All go to one place:are from dust, and all return to dust. 21 Who knows the spirit of the sons of men, which goes upward, and the spirit of animal, which goes down to the Earth ? " ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
This scripture states "Who Knows" and it is due to human vanity that we put ourselves above God's other creatures.

"When I say I'm a Christian" ~ ~
BY MAYA ANGELOU ~ ~ ~

When I say..."I am a Christian, "
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin."
I'm whispering "I was lost,
Now I'm found and forgiven."
When I say..."I am a Christian, "
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble,
And need CHRIST to be my guide.
When I say..."I am a Christian, "
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak,
And need HIS strength to carry on.
When I say..."I am a Christian, "
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed,
And need God to clean my mess.
When I say..."I am a Christian, "
I'm not claiming to be perfect.
My flaws are far too visible,
But God believes I am worth it.
When I say..."I am a Christian, "
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches,
So I call upon His name.
When I say..."I am a Christian, "
I'm not holier than thou.
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good grace somehow.
