Emotions? hmmmm.... I am not just lactose-intolerant... it KILLS me
(I get a migraine that lasts for days, makes my joints
arthritis-achey... funny thing is, I can tolerate BUTTER)...

Pizza? ever order the pizza without cheese? You get funny looks, and
there's nothing to hold the toppings on - they just roll off...

I was killing myself with milk, cheese, etc. when I was in my
twenties (20 years ago)... found and married a woman who did all the
research to find out why I was so sick all the time and then changed
her Southern cooking ways to match my allergies... unfortunately she
left me last year, but I've been fortunate enough to find another
woman who IS lactose-intolerant... was afraid I was doomed to spend
the rest of my life alone because I didn't think there would be
another woman who would be able to deal with my diet.

Emotions? I hated losing all the good foods... ever try Ben and
Jerrys Devils Food Chocolate Sorbet? Amazingly good. And there are
lots of milk-free chocolates.... If you can't tell, I'm a
chocoholic... Now I can emote with the rest and best as I savor the
"fake" ice cream....

Be careful, though, about those burgers... some people put milk in
their burgers AND buns....
