15+ Things This Gen Xer Won’t Put Up With Any Longer

Gen X, can you relate?? Here are 15+ things I won’t put up with anymore.

SPICY FOOD/DEEP FRIED FOOD

I was recently diagnosed with GERD and it sucks. Even with big weight loss in the past few years, I still struggle to eat certain kinds of deep-fried foods and spicy food. I can’t eat Domino’s pizza anymore and certain kinds of Chinese food.

The last time I got super ill from eating the fish and chips and Disney World, it spun me into a severe asthma attack. I had to go to urgent care on my vacation, a first for me. So I am careful what I eat and when. Stomach problems suck.

CLIMATE CHANGE IS TOO MUCH

I am a cold-weather person and this heat is too much for me. I would rather skip summer and early fall activities than sweat. I’d rather be in air conditioning.

And forget moving to Florida, that’s never happening for many reasons!!

As I write this, it is 70 degrees on Nov.5 and it is strange beyond belief. I remember November in upstate NY with cold and ice and snow. Not balmy and sunny.
