The Millennial Topic earlier today made me go to various Retirement Communities and Old Age homes to poll 1200 Baby Boomers about what stressed them out most is their youth, 20's, and 30's. Just what were the most stressful times in the 60's 70's and 80's for these men and women? We narrowed it down to this scandalous, stress inducing top 20.

1. Sibling and/or Daughter bringing home someone not the right shade of white

2. College tuition dared to start soaring over $ 1,000 and 2,000 dollars a year

3. Who Shot JR?

4. Too many blacks in Major League Baseball

5. The Beatles split

6. Missing Woodstock

7. Trying to get that damn VCR to work right

8. Erica Kane getting an abortion on TV

9. A gallon of gas rising above 50 cents

10. Satanic messages when you play Led Zeppelin backwards

11. The struggle to not harass Vietnam Veterans

12. Bonanza getting cancelled
