I have been experiencing this since I was 35 and I'm 53 now. Aint it wonderful!
Maybe the travails of mid-life that prevent assuaging the "crisis" is the real crisis. Like the rain boot on the bathroom vent failing after only 10 years and the subsequent wifely revision of bathroom accoutrements as opposed to the application of $10 worth of paint. So much for the CZ 2075 for a while. Not to mention the AAC Prodigy.....
