Boomers Plus Community Group

Our group is primarily for those born from 1946 to 1964 and earlier. Come here to discuss the good and bad things about your age, retirement, benefit problems, and activities. And, maybe throw in a memory or two. If you're younger, you might learn where our generation is coming from. All are welcome.

Do you subscribe to your local newspaper? If not, where do you get your local news?

Nope the price of paper kept increasing and I really did't have time to read it,plus all of the advertisments and other junk that came with it just created clutter. I just get my news from the internet, tv.

Foxysdad, Remember the newspaper boy? I live in a small country community. There are no newspaper boys. We get the paper at the small, local grocery store. Are there any newspaper boys where you live?

There were paperboys when I was a kid. Now, the local newspaper hires adults with vehicles to throw hundreds of papers a day. The only time I'm reminded of their names is when they insert a self-addressed envelope of a Christmas gift.

I should subscribe but I enjoy my walk every day to get the paper at a newsstand. Paper machine.

I was a paper girl when I was 12, had to lug this heavy bag with papers in the front and back, or rode my bicycle.
