    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.

                    I think it’s sort of like, you ease into a nice warm comfortableness with life after 50. At least I did. I stopped giving a f#ck about other people’s opinions and really started to enjoy just being myself. I’m in my early 60s, I’m lucky to still look young but my body doesn’t work the way it used to. One day its shoulder pain, the next my hand is sore for some reason. But, my attitude about is also a lot less panicky and worried…so, that’s good I guess?
