Biology question for the day: Is it possible to be allergic/intolerant to milk but not other milk products (cheese/yogurt etc)?
I have absolutely no idea but I’m thinking the answer is yes for one simple reason. Someone else (I’m on mobile sorry) mentioned taking lactose tablets which meant someone could then eat more dairy and be fine. Whereas they don’t work for me. If I have any milk (or milk product) I’m so ill. So there must be multiple things about milk that people can be allergic to.
I’ve been violently allergic all my life so I don’t know the difference, so anything I say probably won’t be helpful. I drink my coffee black, eat cereal dry etc. If I cook then I use soya milk. That’s just normal to me. Whereas I guess if you tried to cut out milk you’d really miss it? *hugs you* I’m so sorry š
Pathetic and disappointing answer alert: Iām not watching anything right now. Iām looking for my next television show, actually. There are some shows I should catch up on via Netflix/DVD, like Downton Abbey and maybe Supergirl? Lucifer? I donāt know. I feel this weird reluctance to get invested right now. Accepting suggestions, though, if anyone is offering. <3
Right this
might not be your thing, and thatās totally cool but you said you were accepting suggestions š
I love lots of other shows but hands down the best show on TV right now – well once it comes back from the summer hiatus – is Agents of Shield.
Why is it so brilliant?
1) It doesnāt take itself too seriously. The jokes and lines are amazing, I laugh every time I watch it. It is pure entertainment.
2) The character development is incredible and itās consistent. Things happen and there are consequences. Most TV is so episodic these days, quality storytelling is rare.
3) Hand in hand with the character development, is how theyāve developed the show āshipsā. Fitzsimmons have fully done best friends to lovers and I swear all the other characters on the show ship them (I certainly do), the lines are swoonworthy. Coulson and May arenāt together yet but they are heading there. I never thought I would ever think they could be more than friends but theyāve developed it so gradually and naturally it just makes sense.
4) Every time I watch this show I love it more. Usually that doesnāt happen, usually the first season is the best – not true here. The first season started off a bit slow (but still great) and it has gone from strength to strength since.
I know there are four seasons already out there BUT thereās also a six month hiatus before season five, so catching up isnāt impossible. Ok thatās my pitch š
Well the mission was over within a week. We shipped out and debriefed, there were no imminent disaster so we then got some time off for a change! A little bit of downtime before we had to start prepping for the next assignment. We went out for mid-morning coffee, which bled into lunch, which turned into spending the afternoon together strolling around the park and just remembering how good the world can be.
We then had dinner and Alistair walked me home. I kissed him and he went to leave, saying he should get home to bed. I said we definitely should get to bed and kissed him again. His expression was wonderful, it was clear he had no expectations of anything and I liked that, I donāt know why but I guess I felt respected, like he wasnāt pushing for more than I was ready to give. I know I was ready to sleep with him anyway but I still appreciated it.
The sweet man started to stammer that he didnāt expect anything and I kissed him again. No regrets, thatās how I live my life. We never know what will be our final mission and I deeply care for Alistair. Itās not love yet, it canāt be because we donāt know each other well enough, but we wonāt know one another if we donāt take a chance. He kissed me then, so gently and lovingly, it was perfect.
What happened next is private but it was ā¦ incredible.
Gold: This is why we donāt work where we live. Besides itās about situations. We are unlikely to run into a high-roller arms dealer, or his associates, in the grocery store of our home town. If we went to a large party for the elite in a big city, then the odds would increase.
Belle: *pokes him* tell them *grins*
Gold: *sighs* there was one occasion. We do tend to work in the same areas because we develop contacts, we are familiar with the terrain. I was once meeting the representative of a human trafficker in a hotel bar, and I was approached by a young woman from a previous mission.
Belle: Go on, what happened?
Gold: Sheād been a hotel maid, Iād ā¦ charmed her on the previous mission. Obviously I was using a different cover identity and I couldnāt have her calling out my previous fake name. So I ā¦ I ā¦
Belle: Yes?
Gold: I kissed her alright. I then guided her out of the bar, spun some story and said I would see her later, and then later I thought of a good cover and it was dealt with. You know you donāt have to find this quite so amusing. Iām sure itāll happen to you one day.
Belle: *kisses him* Iām sorry I can just picture how flustered you were under all your training. Itās adorable.
Gold: *pouts* Itās not adorable, it was serious. *she kisses him again* I suppose if it wasnāt for my training I would have looked like a deer in the headlights. You know I only have eyes for you?
Belle: *rolls her eyes* of course! That doesnāt even need to be said. We just do what we have to in order to complete the mission and get home safely. Youāre the one Iām coming home to.
Gold: *smiles at her* and you are the only I want to come home to *kisses her again* *waves the questioner away – busy now*
Iām really quite easy as a giftee. My primary concern is that you enjoy yourself. The last thing I want is for you to make yourself miserable writing a fic that you donāt want to write. I know movie AUās can be problematic, so please donāt feel you have to follow the source material strictly or anything.
I was thinking just the premise. Gold as the head chef that lives for his work. Belle as the bright, messy, new chef in the kitchen who brings light to his kitchen and his life. You could include the kid angle if you want. Maybe Gold gets custody of Bae/Neal again after several years and while he loves his son, he doesnāt know how to adapt his life.
Itās entirely up to you what you do though. I leave everything in your very capable hands. I just want you to have fun. Seriously that is what I want most. If you have any problems at all, or just want to chat, then feel free to shoot an ask anytime. If I havenāt responded within 24 hours then tumblr has eaten it. Have fun!
Oh by the way I will tag all my responses #RCIJ Santa Reply š Also to avoid panic about anon, open your browser in incognito mode. If you arenāt logged in, then you canāt be on anything but anon.
I think my brain went on vacation the moment I was told the location and circumstances of the meet. When Belle started to dance ā¦ saying I was in awe doesnāt really cover it. If it hadnāt been for my training the entire meeting would have been ruined but thankfully I managed to concentrate enough to trade the required information.
When I felt myself react I tried to draw on that same training, picturing horrible sights to try and drown out the most beautiful sight Iād ever seen. It didnāt work because beauty is only skin deep. Just knowing it was Belle, that was what was too much. I was more ashamed than scared but I do have a reputation. If Belle made a report about unwanted advances, being called a ādirty old manā would have been the least of my problems. I donāt have many friends among our employers, though I do have some reports of my own saved for a rainy day.
Fortunately such measures arenāt necessary. Iām more stunned than ever at Belleās reaction. I would never have guessed she harbored any feelings for me at all. Iām counting down the days until this mission is over. I will understand of course if it was a mistake made due to the intensity of the location, and our positions, but I hope it was real. Perhaps weāll start with going out for coffee and see where it goes from there.
Ask me about the show. Ask me anything about my fics, ask my characters anything. You can send me a word and if itās in my WIP doc then Iāll post a teaser snippet. I accept prompts for any of my existing verses.
This week I posted: Bright Lights (A Monthly Rumbelling fic)
I have season seven feels from that gifset I just reblogged. Iāve reblogged that gifset so many times because I think itās the only scene in the show that has Regina, Rumple and Henry that isnāt just a group thing.
All I want from season seven is Grandpastiltskin, and Regina going into protective mother mode. I want them protecting Henry because even if heās grown-up, heāll always be Reginaās kid and Baeās son. Maybe we could see that struggle actually of āI suppose I have to accept you are all grown upā and then working together to protect their extended family.
If I donāt get it then I will have to fic it because I want this so much.
YES! Dear god I want Rumple and Regina fighting for their family because whoa thatās powerful after so many years of them being opposed to each other. But I feel like any reasonable villain would really not want that because honestlyā¦ the Evil Queen and the Dark One fighting against you? Whatās that gonna last like 5 minutes?
Well ā¦ yeah. Iāve always likened Rumple to Professor X to be honest. Heās so powerful, and so skilled (I mean he schemed for the dark curse – that guy can plan) that they have to take him out of the game or a half season fight against a villain, would be over in episode one. Just like Prof X was in a coma in the first movie, brainwashed in the second, dead in the third etc. They always sidetrack Rumple so that he doesnāt just take care of business.
Itās kinda the same with teaming up with Regina. Two powerful, angry, highly-motivated magic-users? They would tear through the bad guys like tissue paper and have their family back in no time. Yeah all the villains weāve seen so far wouldnāt stand a chance. However, maybe if in season seven there is the biggest bad ever, then perhaps Rumple and Regina wouldnāt have to be brought down to the villains level (depowered or rendered useless) and instead they can fight with everything they have because the villain is on their level.

I haven’t watched CSI:Vegas in ages but tonight I felt like it. Only problem is what episode? I have 9 seasons to choose from. My default is usually to watch season 1 as it’s probably my favourite. I do like season 5 and 6 a lot as well. The problem is I remember them – cue random number generator.
1-141 and it gave me 30, so I’ll be watching episode 2.07 tonight. I used to curse RNG when I played Warcraft but it has it’s uses š
