Analogy...
I'll start out by saying that the concert was pretty awesome! Some girl wanted to beat me up cause I said something "rude" about her brother. She was really drunk...my advice...don't laugh at an angry drunk person. Kind of makes the situation worse. She let me off with just a threat.."I'll put your nose where it belongs!" It was pretty funny. We were pretty far back and the words were hard to understand, but I was there, and it was worth it to hear "Better Now"!
Now for the purpose of the post. I have an analogy and would like your input.
To find out for sure that I was lactose intolerant I went completely off dairy for 7 days. On day 8, I had cereal, with milk. The milk was awesome...you know when its like super cold and fresh and oh so delicious?! I enjoyed it immensely! Within half an hour, I had extreme pains in my stomach. Not very happy. Now I love milk, and this was hard to take. I haven't drank real milk for about a year. I often wonder if I should try it and see if I am still lactose intolerant. Would it be worth it to have a tall glass of cool, delicious milk, with the possibility of no pain? My allergies could be gone...but there is the possibility that the pain will come back. Now, I'm of course not asking you if I should try milk again but rather.....Is the pleasure or enjoyment worth some pain?

Well, you could compare it to another analogy that is close to your heart...childbirth! You have your first child and go into it unprepared in the fact that you have no idea what it is really going to be like. But, you go through it, it hurts like heck and hate every moment while you are there but, it seems that later on, they decide having another child (aka glass of milk) would be totally worth it all over again! They say time erases memories of pain. Not sure where I can put tearing into this analogy but, I'll just mention it for you sake!!
sorry to any guy who reads this but, I just had to do this for Jamie...more of an inside joke!
Anyways, what else I am wondering is if you got the info about the shin-dig out at the cabin on Sunday @ 5? It'll be fun, you should come. Krystal has info, contact her or me and I'll fill you in. You'd better be there!
"happy childbirth, i mean milk drinking!!"
--guess who??--

Pain for some pleasure??? Um... its like jumping off a cliff into shallow water... Is the excitment and enjoyment worth the inevitable pain and possibly death? I don't know... you tell me? Sure milk isn't gonna kill you, but you tell me if seeking your own personal pleasure knowing bad things are gonna result... is it worth it???
PS sorry had to delete the last one... didnt get my point across.
The thing is...there may not be pain. But I've decided what I'm going to do. I'm going to take the chance..and I don't mean drinking milk. I just hope there won't be pain. Amy...you have to help me!!!!! I have that song from God's Girls stuck in my head!!! "You are a child of mine...born of a grand design!!" I can't get it out!!!
With some people, lactose intolerance has been cured by having small amounts of milk -- no more than 1/4 of a cup -- every day for a few weeks. Then the amount of milk was gradually increased. After a while, 50% or more were cured from their intolerance completely. The study was done in the UK, though, so the food allergy may not have been to lactose, if you catch my drift.
I just helped my friend wax her legs this morning. No, wait a second, yesterday morning.
Darn, pulling these all nighters messes with your time perspective.
Anyhoo, if you get the right kind of wax, and use proper technique, it's practically painless and really cool!! I'm thinking of growing out for the next few months just so I can try it.
Wow, I'm tired. Final in 3.5 hours. Then another one 20 hours later. I just want to be done....
