About the Book:
As teenagers, boomers declared, “We’ll never get old.” Now, as they approach retirement and old age is beckoning them to join “Club Decline,” boomers have changed their mantra to a defiant “We’re not goin’ there” – without knowing what it really takes to avoid “goin’ there”.
Barbara Morris, author of “I’m Not Goin’ There! – A Gutsy Girlfriend Guide for Boomers Who Don’t Want to Spend Their Golden Years Cuddling with Their Cats” knows what it takes to avoid “goin’ there.”
At 83, Barbara Morris has beaten the babushka off of Mother Time to a degree that amazes even her, and she is eager to share what she knows to help younger women kick to the curb traditional thinking and behaviors that lead straight to Club Decline. “I’m Not Goin’ There!” is packed with gutsy girlfriend advice and information not seen elsewhere because it’s the author’s personal first hand experience as well as what she unintentionally learned from boomers and retirees.
My Thoughts:
OH MY GOSH!! This is one of the funniest books I have read in so long. It reminds me so much of a Lewis Grizzard book that my dad had. I remember reading it and just laughing until I cried. I’m older now so I’m Not Goin’ There: A Gutsy Girlfriend Guide for Boomer Women Who Don’t Wan’t to Spend Their Golden Years Cuddling With Their Cats by Barbara Morris,R.Ph made me laugh til I peed my pants. My favorite was AGING GRACEFULLY IS NOT SEXY – OR EVEN COOL
Aging Gracefully is a trap. This is a book that everyone should read! You feel like you are talking to your best friend while you are reading this.

Rita,
Thanks so much for the review. But I can’t believe it was so funny it caused you to pee in your pants. Perhaps I should offer a pakage of Depends with each book? Ooooh! I just had a hot flash — maybe I can make a marketing deal with the Depends folks? Your review made my day, and possibly, the rest of the year.
While I am here, perhaps readers would like to take a look at my new e-Magazine. (Warning: It’s the first issue but It’s beyond cool). Here is the link: http://www.pageturnpro.com/Barbara-Morris,-RPh/39639-Put-Old-on-Hold-e-Magazine-June-2012/index.html
With love and appreciation,
Barbara, Your New Best Friend
