      @@shmodzilla I am 51 years old and only pop vitamins. Just thinking of the sick Americans who cannot afford the insurance or get huge healthcare bills. I can’t imagine the stress when you are already sick. In Canada when I turned 50, every Canadian gets mailed a stool test kit and for women a mammogram test. All at no cost. My doctor sends me for a blood and urine check every year or two at no cost. Preventative medicine is key.

      Everyone is tasked with carrying their burdens. Just because they have a heavier cross to bear doesn't mean your worries and anxiety aren't real as well. You can't let your light shine if you're carrying darkness, even if it less severe than others.
