Thrisis? How about the 60-somethings facing “sevenerance,” the looming potential of actually leaving the 60s, 70s or 80s entirely, for good, done, kaput, fini? Now sevenerance is a word for our vocabulary. Who should be worried about turning thirty? Certainly anyone who has been there would wonder about the fuss.
Thrisis? The “Boomers” are not only our largest generation but face uncharted territory. Let see a CNN Living article on those who are facing sevenerance and hopefully while they are still here.
Thrisis? My granddaughters turn seven and ten this week. What about their crises. Would you want to be growing up in this era or be in those “tween” years of the pre-teenager. Shouldn’t there be words for their predicament? How about sevonlies or tweenagers? They are of a generation in real crisis. They will have to clean up the messes the thrisers are making.
Thrisis? How hard can it actually be to turn 30? You gals are at the peak of your womanhood, prime child bearing age, actually old enough to know something about kids but still young enough to go without sleeping for six to ten years, and still strong enough to tote the babes about in your soccer van. You are at the height of your sexual attractiveness, have the foundation of a career built, and have more endurance than you will for the rest of your lives.
Thrisis? You guys are hitting your physical prime. Wrestlers are winning Olympic titles and runners become marathon champions. You understand the game and have experience in the game of life. You have more little swimmers than you ever will. You have all the benefits of the arrogance of youth and the maturity of years. What’s the crisis here?
Thrisis? The writers describe “that gray zone when you're not young enough to be young and not old enough to be old” and go on to list the thrisis pressures “to not only have it all, but to make it perfect -- the HGTV-worthy house, gifted children, high-powered career, and soul mate.” You call these pressures? Get past it; life is not designed to be perfect, and “have it all” does not deserve comment.
Thrisis? The authors conclude, “We should all be so lucky to have a life re-evaluation at age 100, although "century-is" or "hundred-is" just doesn't have the same ring to it as thrisis does.” You write about what has “ring to it.” What about the “sixtuation” of the 50s set facing job layoffs because the company can hire two thrisers for the same price. The afore-mentioned “sevenerance” generation is still having to house-keep for the thrisers when they move back home. The “eightxigency” of finding insurance, hospitalization and life in a care center of the the 70-somethings would seem to be more worthy of CNN’s attention, not to mention the “ninecessities” of our octogenarians and “centasrophes” facing the very senior members of our society who are outliving their bodies.
Thrisis, Ms. Lavinthal and Ms. Rozier? Bah humbug, baloney, pap, fluff, get real, gain some perspective, stop and smell the fertilizer or stick with your hookup handbooks.
