I get heartburn sometimes if I eat really spicy too late.

Other than that, bring it!

50, and handle it great. 

50 and love it

Each of you being 50 shocked me for entirely different reasons

(55 here btw so no disrespect to either of you)

Can you handle it anymore?

mid 30s here, and literally have pains and explosive dumps the morning after a spicy dish. was a time when i could tackle any pepper you threw at me, with pleasure.

now... hit a thai spot and a hot dish will have me farting and urinating out the wrong hole the next day. a vindaloo might kill me.

what is this?

I can't.   I used to really enjoy spicy food.    Somewhere around my mid-30's it just stopped working for me.   Maybe i'm soft..  but the painful dumps are much worse than any enjoyment I can get from the food.

Even worse is that my ability to process alcohol has also declined significantly..  getting a lot tougher to enjoy more than just  3 drinks in a night without a stomach ache.

I'm on social security, walk with a cane & pee 47 times a night, but i can wash down a ghost pepper with a Flaming Jesus without a second thought or hint of trouble

Yes

Ironically, "Scary" doesn't look very scary at all. She has held up well(maybe better than I remembered). 

On the other hand "Sporty" was always a favorite but she looks more scary to me. Is she half way through morphing into Iggy Pop in that photo?

Never would have guessed that "Ginger" and "Baby" would have aged that well.

Yep, couldnt do it when younger, preferring it more as i age.
