Quiet you, negative voice! The smonster is rocking right now!
So my big achievement for today is that I showered and dressed. And then, watching how doughnuts are made decided I needed doughnuts. So the SO took me on a grand expedition to the grocery where I procured custard filled bismarcks. That`s the first I`ve been out in over a week and it was exhausting. I am now back in bed and coughing, but I am so happy to have escaped the house if ever so briefly.

I`m like that with dairy, Kat. Actual milk is a no go, but both yogurt and ice cream are ok. It`s probably partly willpower since I love both, but still. Something to do with the processing maybe? `Cause I can also do most cheeses. Mmm, cheese.

What are bismarcks? They sound so German to me (like I think Madeleines are way French).

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Yogurt and cheese both have less lactose than milk -- a lot of people who have mild lactose intolerance are OK with yogurt and cheese. I don't know about ice cream, though.

Yeah, Liese, Grace's doc said that kids that can't do milk can sometimes do ice cream and yogurt. I don't know if Grace can do milk or not as we haven't really tried though the formula she had today, not the Elecare, but the Pediasure (which is $5/day instead of $20) has milk proteins but no lactose.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My one niece is like that too--no straight up milk but ice cream and cheese she tolerates well.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I've known people with (mild) lactose intolerance who can do ice cream, just because they're getting much less milk that way (since it's about half air + lots of volume is sugar and whatever flavorings + sometimes rather than daily food), but the amount that's milk has the same lactose as plain old milk.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Nice day. The expecting couple put up a wallpaper border in the nursery. I broke down a bunch of boxes for them from baby gifts, washed my bike, loaded bike and boxes into the car, trimmed all her rose and peony bushes, and brushed a bunch of hair off their shedding dog. Then raced back home unloaded and really raced to the garage, but was still 5 min late. Poop! $50 penalty.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Thanks to smonster, I got the crammed-full-of-stuff upstairs closet cleaned out! Bags in the car for Goodwill, bags to the garbage, and my goodness, empty shelf space and empty drawers! I'm tired enough to bail on dinner with my sister, but it was worth it.
