Subj : Re: moving or not To : Barry Martin From : Nancy Backus Date : Mon Mar 30 2020 18:40:46 -=> Quoting Barry Martin to Nancy Backus on 16-Mar-2020 08:36 <=- BM> Refilled my coffee and noted there was a snow shower! Didn't stick BM> (it's just above freezing out there). Pretty typical for this time of year.... :) BM>>> I couldn't drink liquid milk for a while; just got the calcium, etc., BM>>> from cheese, sour cream, cottage cheese, yogurt, etc. There were BM>>> probably some nutrients where the liquid milk was a better source but BM>>> as that means of delivery wasn't tolerated use a different one. NB>>> Generally options available.... ;) BM>> Right. The only thing I missed about not being able to ingest liquid BM>> milk is couldn't eat cereal. Didn't have cereal all the time but was BM>> a breakfast option. Water isn't a taste substitute! I don't think the BM>> milk alternatives were available in the 70's (soy, almond. etc.). BM>> Powdered milk -- ??; I don't recall one way or another. NB>> Powdered milk certainly was an option.... my parents started using it NB>> to stretch out the milk back in the late 50's... we called it "funny NB>> milk" because it was funny that powder turned into milk... and it NB>> tasted funny.... ;) BM> Maybe I had had powdered milk and didn't like the taste so ignored it BM> as an alternative. Long time ago! That could well have been the case.... :) I remember that later they came out with powdered whole milk which was more tolerable... I used it in cooking after I was married and out on my own... NB>> Soy milk was available in the 60's, as I know it was a possible NB>> substitute for infant formulas (my cousin was given it, since she NB>> was allergic to cow's milk).... But I don't think the nut milks NB>> were available yet, nor the grain milks... A friend of mine refers NB>> to those milk substitutes as mylks.... :) BM> Just a slight change in spelling to acknowledge the difference. So BM> the alternatives were around; would seem like I would have been aware. BM> I did use soy milk and later other milk alternatives but that wasn't BM> until probably the 90's. And cut with water to stretch - the price!! True.... one didn't buy the alternatives to economize, the way powdered skim milk could do.... ;) Even though I have no problems with real milk (quite the contrary!), I do enjoy getting the dark chocolate almond milk on occasion... :) NB>>>> She probably had surprised herself as well... Just enough extra NB>>>> adrenaline to propel her higher and farther than she thought... ;) BM>>> We thought similarly. She did have that look and tail-wag of "look BM>>> what I did!" combined with "oh poop! I shouldn't be up here - but look BM>>> what I did! ...Now how to I get down? Please don't spank me: I know I BM>>> did wrong!" LIS, I/we did let her know we knew it was an accident, BM>>> were as surprised as she was, and she's not going to be in trouble. NB>>> As long as she didn't get into the habit of it, no harm done.... ;) BM>> No, she never got into the habit of jumping on furniture, nor people. BM>> Well, the only time she tried to climb was during thunderstorms or BM>> fireworks when she was scared and wanted to be held and comforted -- BM>> that's different. NB>> And also very understandable.... :) BM> Definately! Nothing seemed to help calm her other than snuggling and BM> that was more to comfort her, she was still scared and shivering from BM> fear. Never went as far as to tranquilize her. Probably just as well... sometimes they have bad reactions to tranquilizers, too... BM>> ... Too Stressed: Your heart beats in 7/8 time. NB>> That sounds like a form of Afib.... BM> Wonder if Stauss, Souza, etc., ever had as a working title The Afib BM> March?! (You mean (Johann) Strauss and (John Philip) Sousa...?) Probably not, as I don't think that atrial fibrillation was known as such in their day(s), and almost certainly not shortened to Afib yet.... ttyl neb ....
