Sounds to me like a good Secret Pal gift for the future :) I've never 
heard of the animal-deflecting whistles on cars, but could use one for 
squirrels and rabbits (no, they're no danger to me, but I'd rather 
frighten than kill g)

From Jim Stavast:

I don't know if this is the case in all states but in Utah if you kill 
a
deer or other big game animal with your car on the road you have to
pay the state the value of the animal which is around US$1000.
You have to catch them first, like any hit-and-run :)

Re: allergies:

From Margaret in PA:

Tamara, did you ever try goat's- milk cheese?
Yes. But I dislike the smell and the taste, so never had enough to 
*really* test it :) And I only have a *mild* lactose intolerance; 
cheese or buttermilk once-twice a week are OK, though I don't like 
*them* any better :) I take calcium pills with my tea and lemon, now 
that I am no longer a child forced to drink milk because it's good for 
you :)

From Barbara Srokes in Oz:

As to food allergies etc, how many of these people with allergies were
not breast fed?
Doesn't play, or not in my family. I cannot check, but have to assume 
that my father was breast-fed till he was walking... 1915 in a Polish 
village didn't much go for fancy (for example, neither he nor any of 
his 11 siblings were born in a hospital; too much trouble and expense). 
I (born '49) was breast-fed till I was 6months old (even though my 
Mother had to go back to work after 4 months, the nanny trekked there 
with me twice daily; pampered doesn't begin to describe it g). My 
son (born '77) was breast fed till he was 11 months old (and began to 
express unhealthy -- IMO -- interest in the rest of my body g)...

My stepdaughter's two (15 and 12, respectively) were breast fed the 
first 3 months. I don't know about my stepson's three (and suspect 
not), but only one of them has enough problems to have started this 
discussion, while all the rest of us wheeze and scratch, and swell to 
*some* extent...

Sorry, Barbara, doesn't work for our family either. I breast-fed all 
my kids until they were 4 - and they were exclusively breast-fed til 
at least 6 months. My son had ONE bottle of formula in the hospital 
(my blood sugar had gone very high, and they told me there was 
serious danger of brain damage if he didn't have formula, as my milk 
hadn't come in yet) ... and six months later when my husband tried 
another, he spat up for an hour. He's still VERY allergic to milk 
products, and he's almost twenty. He's also allergic to nuts, soy, 
legumes, and peanuts. My daughter who had no formula at all is also 
allergic to nuts.  On the whole, given the choice I had between 
possible allergies and brain damage, he has agreed with me that being 
normally intelligent with allergies was the right one to make, but it 
still isn't pleasant.

I have wondered, and not bothered to look up the research, if part of 
the problem may not be that I am lactose intolerant, so perhaps some 
fraction of the incoming milk I was consuming was passed on to my son 
in my milk.

My intolerance is mild enough that I can eat cereal with milk, I just 
don't drink the stuff. Keep a bottle of TUMS in my desk at work and 
nibble on them daily. I don't care for the taste of milk anyhow, and 
it's even worse with that Lactaid stuff in it (too sweet).

 Tamara

I don't know what the rates might be
*historically* - but I wonder if any of
the research 'scientists' have published
anything about how much lactose
intolerance is to the milk and how
much is due to the stilbestrol/etc.
that has been added to dairy cows'
diets for ??how many decades?? now ?
(We are what we eat . . .)
