I just seem to be a late bloomer over all in life. I didn't hit my major growth spurt until about 16-17, which is when females usually stop growing, etc. And I never suffered from an outdoor allergy, EVER, until about 2 years ago, and now they just go nuts. And now with this dairy thing.

I think Adam was only tested for food allergies recently, so maybe he didn't know about it before. Tink, I have a feeling that what you're experiencing is an intolerance rather than an allergy to dairy. A large percentage of the world population can't digest it properly once they get past childhood, but because northern Europeans have adjusted to it and made it a major part of their diet, dairy foods are more common than they perhaps should be. I've heard that dairy is an immune system irritant as well, making other allergies worse.
That's what I figured Chloe, since the only side effect is a sick nauseas feeling afterwards, but nothing that REALLY affects my life, just makes it uncomfortable. I'm going to try and get some over the counter meds to see if that helps out at all, before I go talk to the dr.

Chloe, I've heard that too about dairy being problematic for a lot of people. My stepfather refuses to drink milk because he says its not good for you. I really shouldn't have it as much as I do - I should bite the bullet and just opt for soy, but I think it's just like breaking a bad habit. I'm obsessed with ice cream

I think that is it. When I was telling my mother about my problem, she said there was something over the counter to try. I haven't ventured out yet, so that could be it.

I am SO incredibly out of the loop on this thread (I can't keep up!), but I just wanted to pop in and say that I am super, super excited to see Rent on Thursday! Like, really.
"Blow out the candles, Robert, and make a wish. Want something. Want something."
I'm so jealous that many people get to see Adam & Anthony.
I have to plan my sister's bachelorette party and she wants to go to a male strip club -- which is so not my cup of tea. I've actually been thinking she (and I) would be thrilled if I took her to NY to see Rent instead. I saw it on Broadway in 2002, but she's never been to NYC. But it's more money than I'm willing to spend unfortunately on the flight, hotel and tickets. But I would enjoy it a whole lot more! :)
I think I'm more excited to hear people's stories when they come back on Monday night than to actually see the show. I still don't think it's hit me that I'm going to get to see this in a few days.
I was just reading back on the dairy conversation. I'm lactose intolerant to the point that it affects my daily life. Lactaid pills don't work either. But technically, I'm not allergic to it. My friends have an ongoing joke that I'll eat cheese knowing that I'll be sick for two days.
Tink- it's up to you (or depends what time they'd come out!) I have no burning desire to stagedoor, but I wouldn't object to it either.
I wonder how long they will take to come out after the show. I can't really miss the 12:10 otherwise I get stuck transferring and waiting around the station at all hours of the night
