That's not all !

     I didn't tell you everything.  The first guy I talked to not only backed out the charge but he gave me a promo of 9.99 to use at Amazon for my inconvenience of having to call Amazon and explain how I messed up.  WoW!  What a company.
     Our gym is offering Silver Sneakers which sounds like something I would want to join, and I did but it's only offered to those who have a certain type of health insurance, if in fact you do, the insurance will pay for your membership in the gym.  Sounds great right.  That is, until you realize if you don't have health insurance from their list, not only will they NOT pay for your membership but you CANNOT join in Silver Sneakers Classes.  Let's see....what would you call that ?  I was looking into it because I wanted to take the classes, from what I understood some of the exercises were from sitting in a chair, getting up and down from a chair, wrist and hand exercises and a lot more.  Well, I was in, as it sounded great to me.  I assumed (you know what they say about that) you could still join in the classes, they would just not pay for your membership, which was fine with me.  Jim and I have already worked out our budget so we can go to the gym.  That's how important we know good health and exercise is.  Well, after more inquiring, I'm afraid, that is not the case.  One instructor explained to me they we going to have the wellness program spill into silver sneakers.  WHAT does that mean ?  I have stopped asking and as you have guessed I'm a little slow.  This is another way of dividing the classes of people.  My bank account is not even close to most of the Seniors there but for some reason I didn't think that would matter at a health club as long as you paid your membership. Yes, there are different classes which cost more if you want to partake even the wellness program is 10.00 dollars extra a month which we were happy to pay but to not even offer this class to other seniors who would forgo the membership in the gym being paid is a shame, shame, shame.  I still love the gym and of course all my instructors and will continue doing my routine.
      Ok, that's enough complaining.  I must keep it positive and happy.  Jim is mowing our lawn right now and I smell fresh cut grass, and there is a chill in the air each morning now that tells you Autumn is sneaking in.  How lovely change is especially when we are looking forward to it.   Tootles
