No I couldn't. I'm over 40. (we looked into it), but thanks for trying.
My primary care physician wants me to have one of those because my GF died of cancer of the bowel.
I have no symptoms, no problems with my GI tract at all, so I'm passing on that opportunity.
I had one when I was 30. I'll never have another one. It was the most painful procedure I ever had done, so painful that I screamed even though I was under anesthesia.Everyone should have one when they turn 40, and every five years after that.

You can't move to Australia because you're over 40? (you know I was referencing the Alexander book with that, right?)

Sheila, I hope you aren't reading this and that yours is not painful.

We really are the lucky country over here.
Our economy is one of the few that did not go into recession, our stimulus was tight and targeted, we had a budget surplus when the global recession started, our banks are in good shape financially and required no bail out, our housing market dipped slightly but is recovering and our resource sector is about to boom again as China picks back up.
I have lived in the United States and Australia (plus a lot of other countries) and I find our health care system light years superior to the US, treatment is quick, easy to access and of a high quality. Drugs are much cheaper here as well.
Working conditions here are much better, four weeks paid leave (leave loading, they literally pay you more when you go on leave!) one year unpaid maternity leave if you so wish, for both sexes, plus a baby bonus of 5,000 to have a baby, higher minimum wages, and general wages in relation to the cost of living.
And the beer, well, let me just say I was never a drunk in the US.
