4. How's Rosalynn Carter been doing? Haven't heard of her in a long time.

8. I don't know but your question got me to thinking.

We all know that behind every great person is usually a great spouse (or partner) but I don't know much about her. I intend to change that. TY for the prompting.

9. He looks so short in the pic...

so I looked it up and he is 5'9, not really short at all.

When did everyone else get so tall?

Here they are by height.

CB. linton 6'2"
B. Obama 6'1"
M. Obma 5'11"
J. Carter 5'7"

No relevance, just interesting (to me at least).

12. He's probably a lot shorter than 5'9" now.

I have several family members that are two or three inches shorter than they used to be. It's from disk compression in your back as you age.

Just thought I'd contribute to your tome of totally useless knowledge.

[Live and Learn]

13. One can never have enough useless knowledge. LOL

And of course I know about shrinkage, I have seen Seinfeld, of course. But, I don't think shrink-age accounts so much for this as the fact that the others are really tall.

I think Carter is a magnificent being, no matter how tall he is and wish him only the best.

[calikid]

15. Carter is 100 feet tall in my mind.

Very cool photo, nice to look at a Presidential photo and not grimace..

[Live and Learn]

17. Yes he is when one adds in the strength of his convictions.

A most admirable being!

24. a quote from another thread on here:

He may not have been our greatest President, but he may have been the greatest man to have been President.

Best of luck to you, Mr. President (he would probably prefer to be called Jimmy). I'm very proud that the first time I ever voted for a candidate who won the White House was you.

22. It can also be from osteoporosis

My dad was 5'11" until he got old. Then he shrank nearly 6" in just a few years - but his doctors never pegged to his increasingly severe osteoporosis. Not until he fell and cracked some vertebrae in his back. The damage that was done was not repairable and it caused him constant in serious pain for the rest of his life - about twelve years of pain.

All of that could have been avoided if his doctors had ever ordered a bone scan or had measured his height on a regular basis. He used a clinic and had rotating doctors so personal observation of his shrinkage never got into the charts. If they had measured him every year and put him on medication for osteoporosis his bones would have been stronger and he might not have fallen or even if he had he might not have cracked those bones.

My husband's grandmother was bedridden for the last ten years of her life due to osteoporosis. As a result his mother participated in a study of treatment beginning in the 1970s. Because she was part of a successful drug study and has continued to get treatment, she has not problems with the disease that essentially killed her mother. So we are very aware of the problems with this disease.

Anyone in the range of 50 or 60 years old should get a bone density scan every four to five years. Your doctor should measure your height at every annual checkup - and make sure that is compared to previous measurements. If either show changes, get treatment - the drugs are very effective though in the early stages supplemental calcium and Vitamin D help a lot to prevent bone density loss.

19. Cool picture. What was the context?

None of these men were perfect presidents (psst: there's no such thing), but all three have made some invaluable contributions that have shaped this country for the better.

Love it.
