Secretagent, your generation lived through economic and political uncertainty. Families worked hard to support their families and their kids were forced to be self-reliant yet all this made them stronger for life. They built the economy after the Great Depression, the Civil Rights movement, and fought in World War, these things make them admirable. I also grew up with my grandmother from my mother's side here in the States. She was very special and my memories of her are so dear...My parents immigrated from Cuba after World War II and settled in NYC. They were hard-working parents in those years too. You lived a tough silent childhood. Thank you so much for your feedback.
Cossacks, I am not here to find the why names of these generations or to be a specialist in a census population. Thought this topic can bring in comments about each person's generation. I think each one is unique in their timing and we all can learn from their experiences. Unfortunately, 30 years of my life was not lived here in the States, I was taken out not on my will (1965)and to be back (1995) and see the difference was a big experience. Being born a New Yorker in the fifties in New York City my childhood was a happy one. I was able to play in the streets, in summer and splash the water hoses like all the kids in the parks freely. I had all kinds of friends from different cultures. Three decades will pass with all their transformations, and my old neighborhood was not the same. I am happy to be back and be part of this country again. SM
I am a baby boomer, we are around 69.6 million still alive followed by the Millennials with 72 million. Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe were our eras. We had idols like John Lennon and Bob Dylan. Entertained by Superman and James Bond. We were an economically influential generation b/c of our numbers. We were loyal to our beliefs and families. Still, remember the Flinstones and Winnie the Pooh. We Marked a surge in women in the workforce. The invention of the PC, the internet. So many things to say... Thank you, Packer, Hooha, and Cossack for your comments...
Each one of us comes from a different generation. I am considering the generations here in the USA as follows: The Greatest Generation – born 1901-1924. The Silent Generation – born 1925-1945 The Baby Boomer Generation – born 1946-1964 Generation X – born 1965-1979 Millennials – born 1980-1994 Generation Z – born 1995-2012 Gen Alpha – born 2013 – 2025 Please comment on what makes your generation so unique, grandparents, parents, friends..... As you know generations are the lens through which society changes. By the way, I am a Baby Boomer. Thanks.
Diamond, you wrote a very nice characterization of people here on CS. Everyone has their purpose here too. Love, friendship, interchange ideas, sharing beliefs, discussing politics, sharing poetry, recipes, being this a wide world platform it is unique. It also attracts those others that want to cheat, exploit, scam, insult, and chat to minor their boring lives. Thanks for viewing CS at such an open door. SM
Hi Jewel. I came on here to find love, which I did in 2009 at least on my part. It did not work. He passed away last year, but we maintained a friendship. At the moment still have connections with his family. Now living my singleness and happiness. Right now here for the poetry corner and maybe some other areas on this web. SM
Stability? Having the truth said to each other from the start. Trust each other. Open communication is a must. Understanding and patience. Support each other in the good and bad times. Chemistry is important for a successful intimacy in which the climax fulfills each other. Outer beauty can't compete with the inner one, be sure of that. Time fades away our young looks. Love grows as we age and never ends.SM SM
I am walking on a straight rope with 20 feet under my feet, there comes this bird and starts poking my hair. The audience stares with silence....my partner shouts from the other side..Don't let that birdie intimidate ....you are just inches away from the finish line ....it ended up with a delicious barbeque birdie with hairs as condiments..

When you have a good conversation is starts to both sides being good listeners. Topics come up espontaneos. Once one ends the other begins. When you want to talk about something special just bring it up. Being honest, respecting the other's point of view as they hear yours is having education. Here is not a face to face, so you can't see the body language until you decide to meet. Here good forums don't last much, because many here just come to sabotage your topic getting a kick out of it....luck with your feedback.
