An experiment in aging gracefully, in place Issues Beyond Palo Alto, posted by Editor, Palo Alto Online, on Nov 2, 2012 at 3:05 pm
It's one thing to say you intend to age gracefully in your own home and avoid institutionalized care -- and something else entirely to accomplish it.

I'll be 50 this week, but I need this group! I can't turn a mattress either! I am disabled by nerve problems....but there's plenty of stuff I CAN do....like the commenter above, I want to know how to join...sign me up....And everyone, for the first time, you can really make a difference this year. You can vote for Jill Stein (or Gary Johnson, but Stein is my choice), and third party for every seat that you can. You don't have to believe the old programming that it's a wasted vote. It isn't. The only wasted vote is a vote for anyone who supports the NDAA or citizens united.....that means you can't vote for Obama or Romney or ANY incumbent....wake up, please. If you don't even KNOW who is in the third party debate tonight, you're not an educated voter.....please stop dragging our nation to war.
