antMine are from dusts, pollens, etc. Very sensitive.
Crappy.
Mine are infinitely better. As a kid, an ant bite (or any sting) would make my entire arm swell until it looked like it might pop. Now I keep bees and barely notice stings. I just quit reacting at some point.
I took shots daily for years (early 80s) to get over food and pollen allergies only to move where there’s different pollen, but it’s still better.
Yep, being old sucks…but I’ve found that for the most part it’s a choice, one easily made by ignoring your best options. I have a bad back, and had a paralyzed dog for 7 years. Together they gave me plenty of excuses to stay on the couch far too much. I honestly feel like I’ve reversed 25 years of aging with just some exercise (consistent long dog walking) and eating just slightly better for 18 months. Since I’m bald, I don’t even have gray hair!
antAlso, my allergies are worse. Ugh. Yeah, being old sucks!!!!!!!!
I’m lucky…I just get aches and cramps. Much easier to deal with, but pretty much a constant these days.
antI do over a mile almost daily, but man it is getting hard. More aches and craps.
Yep. Getting old sucks.
I don’t recommend it.
I tried it for a decade.
I gave it up, got high energy dogs I have to walk 3-5 miles a day, lost 45 lbs, and I’m in better shape than high school now. I recommend dogs.
antI used to hate turn based when I was younger. Now that I am an old slow busy fart, I love them. I can't do these quick reflex and grinding games like I used to. Yeah, computer gaming can be expensive and a lot of work! I don't like the controllers for consoles due to my disabilities. I prefer huge clicky keyboards and mouses that doesn't require me to hold. With my iPhone, I have to use a 360 degrees finger ring holder to hold on my left hand and then my one finger/antenna to input! Also, my hands gets achy and tired from holding too long!
I haven’t enjoyed a turn based game since Herzog Zwei on Sega Genesis (and I’m not even certain it was one, it’s been so long).
I did the gaming pc thing for a decade, but realized that it will ALWAYS need an upgrade to play the newest games well, and I don’t have infinite money to keep up. Consoles last years to a decade with no upgrades needed or possible, so it always plays the new games just fine…and there’s GameFly so I can play through every game I want to for cheaper than buying 5 games a year.
I still have no cell phone…it’s a badge of honor that I never have.
antFYI. I didn't like the first Empire of the Ants from the same company back in Y2K or so. It was pretty, but boring IMO. I'd rather replay SimAnt! Oh, I did like the Grounded game during its Steam free weekend, but I hate the grinding parts! I ain't got time for that. I grind enough IRL!
I guess we know what you’ll be playing this fall….

antI haven't owned a console since my Atari 2600! I still like computers because I want to do more than gaming! I can even get addons, hacks, etc. for computer games.
I don't play much games these days though. I even play more games (Duolingo, Propel, Lengendary (just started last night!), etc.) in my iPhone than my PC these days! They are short and turn based. 
I gave up on that decades ago, I play consoles now and never looked back.
antSure, you do it.
Time to upgrade!
antIts playable demo came out several weeks ago. However, my PC doesn't have enough resources to play it.
