The other day I went to get milk from the fridge and someone had drank all but just a tiny bit and then put the carton back in the fridge. I know it hurts right now, but you'll get through this. I did.

Plastic carton? Or wax-covered cardboard? Paper or Plastic?

Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA Thanks so much for all your kind thoughts. I'm doing better. I haven't been to the store yet, but did eat some powdered milk out of the box, which has kept me from jonesing for milk. I'll keep you posted....

But what do I get for my hard efforts and resistance to join the other Dark LPers? Nada. Suffer in your milklessness, Jim...I'm gonna have to have some time to get over this. (oh wait---he prefers briefs over boxers like I do---dang it!)
