      It really can make it worse when you’re already feeling stressed. Also - I know that eating chocolate after eating pizza is a recipe for gastric disaster (heartburn like crazy). Apparently chocolate relaxes those little muscles in the throat that usually keep stomach acid down where it belongs. When I see those commercials for pizza that comes with chocolate chip cookies for dessert - i already feel the acid just from watching it.

              Yeah and it gets more MEH as you go along. Although I really enjoyed my 50s, for some reason. I felt good, life was good, things were looking good - I dunno, it just was a good decade. Now I’m in my 60s and back to Meh again.

                  Well, could be. Although I wasn’t really all that happy in my 20s, Glad that part of life is over with. Some things get easier though with age - I’m a lot less fearful, and I don’t fear death at all anymore. I’ve stopped stressing over a lot of stuff. But after 50, things in your body stop working as they used to which is kinda not much fun.

                    I can imagine. People say their 70s and later become quite nice. Maybe its the fact that stuff not functioning becomes something they can handle.
