I am going to check into this. I am an old retired boomer myself who may enjoy some company. </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/rent-out-your-empty-rooms#post-208 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 21:14:57 +0000 Make Space 208@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>You might want to consider renting out your empty rooms for extra income and for company. You say that you like the space and the freedom, but there are a lot of lonely baby boomers and seniors who would benefit from having someone in the home to share meals, shopping, watch tv and just to know someone is there when the electricity goes out or you hear noises. It's not that hard to find someone compatible and safe. Just have the people screened before you rent and trust your instincts. </p> <p>Go to <a href="http://www.homeshareconnections.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.homeshareconnections.com/</a> for more information </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/my-kids-grown-out#post-198 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 14:21:46 +0000 debv54 198@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>You know, for 57 years I have shared a home with someone, parents, husband, kids. My youngest, 27, just moved out a few weeks ago, finally ! I am having a really hard time getting used to coming home to an empty house. I love it , the freedom to make as much noise as I want at 3 am upon returning home from work , I love cleaning and having it stay clean, the food lasts 5x longer, no dirty dishes in the sink, the toilet paper roll is never left empty, lol. It is rather lonely, this empty nest though. Thanks for forums like this one. Maybe there will often be someone to talk to in the wee lonely hours ? </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/my-kids-grown-out#post-162 Fri, 29 Jul 2011 03:23:00 +0000 monstrosity 162@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>i know how you feel that's normal<br /> it makes you feel sick when the children are not around, although their already grown-ups we still treat them as little kids </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/my-kids-grown-out#post-39 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 19:10:08 +0000 Eva Pasco 39@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>Joe,</p> <p>Sorry to read that you and your son are estranged. One of you has to make the overture to move forward. </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/my-kids-grown-out#post-8 Thu, 06 Aug 2009 18:17:17 +0000 Joe Hauckes 8@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>But I still miss him. Even though he's 30+ and we haven't spoken in years, there is still an empty spot where he used to be. &lt;img src=&quot;http://babyboomersus.net/my-plugins/pb--bb-smilies/default/icon_sad.gif&quot; title=&quot;:(&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p>
