Yeah, eating right, keeping a BMI under 25 and regular exercise are all part of a complete retirement program.

When I was young (like around 7), my dad had surgery for an ulcer. At that time, stress was considered a major cause of ulcers. I grew up believing I needed to control my stress because my dad didn’t and had to get surgery as a result. Subsequent research proves that most ulcers are caused by Helicobacter infections. Recently, I learned that the surgery actually disclosed no evidence of an ulcer. So my concerns were groundless, but I did develop some useful skills for coping with stress.

I just looked at the schedule to see if that show plays again, and it does: National Geographic Channel, Thursday, Sept. 20, 9:00 p.m. eastern time. I’ll try to remember to watch it.

A cinched up stomach is one of my stress indicators. I find I can’t think myself out of a cinched up stomach, either. Sucks.

Yeah,

It does suck to be female sometimes.
I blame Eve, I guess.

I don’t know, Jane, prostate problems are reportedly no fun, either.

“I don’t know, Jane, prostate problems are reportedly no fun, either.”

Nope.
