    I’m in my thirties now and I don’t have any pain like that.

      You must have slipped through the system, I’ve made a note of it.

      Tomorrow, order will be restored

        Well, I haven’t ever smoked anything and I haven’t ever drank alcohol.

        That probably has a lot to do with it.

          Non-smoker/drinker, formerly very physically fit person weighing in. In the five or so years surrounding 40, everything suddenly fell apart. Knees would ache after pickup games. I picked up an empty suitcase and slipped a disc. Shoulder started feeling sandy. Hands got arthritic.

          It snuck up on me until one day I realized that I couldn’t remember what it was to not have something hurting. I hate to say that I could easily wish it on my worst enemies, but not the average person going about their business.
