The spambots know my secret cravings!

[beetiger]

I miss milk. I miss cheese especially. I miss macaroni and cheese. I miss Brie, which I avoided my whole pregnancy because it is unpasteurized with the promise that I could have it again once the baby was born. I miss yogurt. I miss cheesecake. I miss pizza. I miss lasagna. Hell, last week I even had a random craving for crab rangoon, which I usually consider to be an abomination.

But if I eat milk products, the amount that the baby spits up/vomits increases exponentially. So I'm not, for now.

Somehow, today, this got through my filters:

milk.com appears to be an old-style (ie low graphics) website for a Java developer and DJ with random coding toys and internet humor.

I assume the bot was just looking for live addresses, but I really took this one personally. Viagra I don't need (well, if it worked for girls I might consider it, but that is a totally separate issue), breast enlargement I definitely don't need, but hell, I'm really craving some milk. Life is not fair.

At least it's not forever -- even before weaning, if you know how long things stay in your system, you can even pump and dump, or just know it will be out before the next feeding (have some milk before bed and it be ok by time the baby wakes up).

And I mean of course for a much older baby, one that goes quite a while between feeds, and probably on some solids. (I know YOU know but I didn't know if you knew *I* knew.)

I am amazed that they haven't been ground into a powder and their domain name stolen (http://www.clue.com/) by the IDFA (http://www.idfa.org) or MilkPEP (http://www.whymilk.com), especially since the latter appears to have settled for the odd whymilk.com ...

You know what's really unfair? You'll eventually ween Mothra. I'm going to be lactose intolerant for life.

And I love milk and dairy.

I feel your pain, if for different reasons. I miss milk greatly, though I have to avoid it because too much sugar makes me feel rotten.

I can have cream sometimes, but you can't -drink- cream. Or at least, I can't.
