Thanks, MakeItLegal, and much respect to you too. I'm not all that smart. There are lots smarter ones than me around here!

Hey, BabySnookums! Good to see you online. How's you leg doing and how's the rest of you? I asked SlipKnot about you a couple of days ago on another thread, but I'm not sure he saw my question. Hope y'all are both doing well after that horrifying accident. Hope that drunk spends some time in jail, too, or at least gets his license taken away.

my legs doing alot better. i had the staples and stitches out awhile back. i'm starting to attempt to "walk" on it, but supporting some of my weight still on the crutches. my job took me offa payroll, so if they dont hire me back, i gadda look for a new job. i have a total of about 70,000 dollars in unpaid medical bills.

the girl that hit me....nothing happened to her. she didnt have a license to even be taken away. she had drove her moms car w/o permission, so the mom got a ticket or something as far as i know. nobody went to jail at all. might as well have been like it didnt fucking happen. and they only had liability so i'll only be able to get 20 thousand, 33.3% of which is the lawyers, and the rest goes to the damned bills ><

all in all...i'm doing ok....only because my husband is the most wonderful person in the world and has been taking good care of me.

What happened to you in the first place? I don't think I was on or maybe I was spacing out.

That's why it's pasteurized and heated to sterilize it. Cow teats are notorious for getting infected and nasty, what with calf mouths and milking machines sucking on them and the way they hang and drag around in cow dung and other horrifying substances. My granddad had a dairy farm. Dairy farmers aren't supposed to milk cows with infected udders, but it probably happens all the time anyway.

The cows milk thing is a double edged sword though.
By pasteurizing the milk, a lot of the enzymes it contains are destroyed, making it less digestible.

This is one of the reasons that a level of lactose intolerance is so widespread.

Humans simply don't naturally have the enzymes necessary to break down cows milk proteins.

If you were to feed a calf only pasteurized milk, it would be unable to process the proteins too. It would then become ill from malnutrition. Not to mention the antibodies that the mother cow passes along through her milk.

A dear friend of mine in Vermont has started drinking only raw milk from his friend's small herd of dairy cows because of this. He's also raising ALL his own fooed- veggies, eggs, and hunting for game. Honestly he has never looked so good in his life, and the weird health problems he'd been having are GONE.

If cows were still hand milked, the disgusting contamination from the automated milkers would not necessitate pasteurization.

And if we all lived closer to our food sources, we wouldn't have to add so many preservatives to our food so it could travel long distances to us.

How about birdgirl for MOD?

I am lactose intolerant!

Vance's DariFree â?¢
Fat-Free Non-Dairy Milk Alternative from Potatoes
GFCF (Gluten-Free, Casein-Free)

We use this milk replacement every day, and itâ??s fine. They also make a chocolate version. My wife is now totally dairy-free, and I comsume about 8 ounces of skim milk a day, with coffee - but I may stop completely if my tests show a lactose or casein intolerance (which I think I have).

It comes dry, in a container that looks like one for standard milk. One box makes many quarts. You just mix it with water, and itâ??s ready.
