Lactose intolerance / Dream about $9.30

Claude Lemieux is coming back into the NHL at age 43, five and a half years after his last game. CRAZY! I also just heard a commercial for TV-tropolis (Channel 48), which brings me memories of 90210 / Melrose Place last summer - oh my.


Poo nugget for Monday, January 19: Lactose Intolerance: An Evolutionary Tale A worldwide study of populations with and without lactose intolerance sheds some interesting light on the condition's history. In ancient China, nomadic Mongolians consumed large quantities of horse milk because they never settled down long enough to turn the milk into cheese. (which has very low levels of lactose) Island residents of ancient China, in contrast, consumed very little milk, as they preferred consumption of mature cheese. These differing practices from thousands of years ago have led to widely divergent rates of lactose intolerance in modern China: very low in Mongolian populations and very high in the Chinese.


I had a weird dream which involved my friends trying to look after a bunch of kids. We were doing quite well - even Richie seemed to get into it, and he was very new at it! Had to stop by a townhouse to get a lot of illegal money, which we completed successfully. Then we went to an airport lounge, where strange announcements played over the system, and we presented ourselves to Auntie Vivian. She approved, and wanted us to see Auntie May in her blue Cubbies uniform. Auntie May liked us a lot, but only gave us $9.30 in change. That was disappointing (and we wondered if it had anything to do with the odd announcements about money), but we had enough cash to carry out our next mission. Unfortunately, I woke up just as we were going to beard the lion in his black den! TOO BAD!




You Are Traditional and Dependable



You tend to conform with the rest of society, even if you aren't trying to. No one would accuse you of being a freak!



You are a very active, on the go person. You get restless if you're forced to sit still for too long.



You're fun-loving and playful. You never take life too seriously.



You seek security in your life. Feeling safe is important to you.
