I think more like 40, But then I only have the top of your head to base this on.:D
I've had a gut on me since I stopped playing football. But I was always strong and healthy. Until recently.
I feel like everything caught up with me almost overnight.
Am I not alone with this?

I booked a motel a week ago on the outskirts of Albany Georgia (the nicer. Newer part)
I booked over the Internet DIRECTLY through the motel. No middleman.
I received my confirmation.
Upon arrival, I was told that this is "graduation" weekend. Whatever the Hell that is and that they were booked solid. I had no room. Nothing.(And good luck finding another room nearby)
I didn't want to cause a scene. So I quietly went into the lobby area and called the parent companies 1-800 number and let them have it!
They called the front desk, and wouldn't you know it? A room became available...And it's a suite!
I just grabbed the room cards and came upstairs to take a shower. But curious, I contacted my credit card company. I only use the same one for travel. It's easy to keep track of. AND I was charged for the suite upgrade!
I got back on the phone with my complaint reference number in hand....And now the room us free.
Should I still write a bad review?
Should I still feel badly about swiping the tiny soaps?
It's a nice room.

I wouldn’t leave a review at all. Enjoy yourself!!

It just proves how much people get taken advantage of if they don't stick up for themselves. Good job, Ed!

No you are not alone. Ever since my back issue started in 2014 (I am 45) I feel like I am 80.

Good thing you checked your credit card. Sometimes it is worth causing a fuss. Enjoy the suite.

Sciatica?
Mine's been bad since I injured it in 1982. But recently really started to hurt the whole right leg.
Is yours just the back, itself?

No it started on the left leg but it sometimes goes down the right as well now. I had the disc fusion op in 2016. It didn't really help. So I live on pain killers to manage it now.
