Good to see you're still so active after all these years, especially after Knee-Replacement surgery (guess it finally caught up with you, eh? ;-> ). Haven't chatted with you and Ev in many years. You're "old" friend, Mike (Mickey) in So. CA Hi there, Les!

Good to see you’re still so active after all these years, especially after Knee-Replacement surgery (guess it finally caught up with you, eh? ;-> ). Haven’t chatted with you and Ev in many years.

Jane, I am a 61 year spinning, water aerobics, and Silver Sneaker instructor. I had a knee replacement on September 8th 2009. I did my own physical therapy on a spinning bike. I started teaching November 12, 2009. I feel I was in great shape before my surgery and fortunately I could came back. I believe strongly in exercise and teach 8 classes a week. My wife is also an instructor and we work together to try to encourage and motivate all age groups especially the 50 and above. We would love to partner with you to help promote fitness. Silver Sneakers is a great program and may need someone like you to promote it to even greater awareness. You definitely are a great role model. Power of exercise and positive thinking.

I continually work on my rehab. I did my own rehab as I'm a rehab nurse and my doctor okayed it. It's a long road to full recovery. Depressing at times, fustrating at times but eventually it does get better. Give it a full year. Happy Health to you. You have always been someone I have admired!

Alas, I have learned all too well that Georgia can be like a third world nation when it comes to health care, I work and am insured, but my relationship is not recognized in GA, thus my terminally ill partner has no healthcare coverage and we have no safety net.

I do believe we need free, universal healthcare. Healthcare is a right--not a privilege. I think this country should frankly be ashamed that Cuba--with fewer resources than we have--has better healthcare. People over money.

As a Brit living abroad (in Germany) as a flight attendant who flies frequently to the US, Japan and Sweden I can agree with the authors. For example, in the UK and US I am wary about travelling on public transport. Whereas in Sweden and Japan I feel so safe, especially in Japan (google 'public sleeping in Japan' - the word escapes me for 'having trust in a stranger who will protect me while sleeping'. But there is one, it's true.) However, these two countries have the highest suicide rate. In the countries I travel where life seems very laid back and are very warm and hospitable (e.g Brazil, the US) where there is a huge difference in rich and poor, there is a very high crime rate, for example, even our crew bus was hijacked on the motorway in Brazil!! I will buy the book. Thanks for the tip. jason Fascinating. As a Brit living abroad (in Germany) as a flight attendant who flies frequently to the US, Japan and Sweden I can agree with the authors.
