I'll hold off on the real milk and stick with soy milk. You'll thank me later. 
Why?
There is a lot of evidence supporting the idea that cutting dairy, or at similar somewhat balanced source of calcium + magnesium + phosophorus + vitamin D, out can lead to a lot of bone issues later in life, especially osteoporosis. Lot of older folks have spontaneous breaks because of dietary problems.
You can't just go chew on a piece of limestone to get calcium, though most everything that says "added calcium!" just has ground limestone, and is probably cheaper than whatever its going in to replace. By itself, calcium will just go into bone spurs, which can be as big of a problem as getting a little too little.
There is also some new evidence suggesting that higher end levels of balanced calcium can improve chances of avoiding cancer. It makes some sense because calcium ions play a very big role in cellular messaging, and a lot of cancers have bastardized cellular signaling as at least part of the problem.

I'm assuming it's because of lactose intolerance?
Lactose free dairy is fairly common nowdays

When I was 19 I went away to school. I had no money, and what little money I had I spent on booze and drugs. Obviously, I flunked out of school.
However, before I left and while I was still living at home I used to drink over a litre of milk a day. I just loved it, especially when it's nice and cold... I still love it. Anyway, when I was at school I never drank it, no money, right? So, after 8 months of literally no milk, when I returned home I had the WORST lactose intolerance even after having just an 8 ounce glass of the stuff.
Now I'm 33, and I can have a glass of milk or two, but much more than half a litre and I still have "issues" (and by "issues" I mean violent diarrhea).

Try a regimen of probiotic yoghurt for a month and see if it helps.

I'm fine now... I don't think I want that much milk a day anyway. Half a litre a day is more than enough milk for a full grown adult male.

What the hell is it with old people?!
Do they think that because they're old they have a [censored] license to be rude or something?!
At work we have a 1-800 number that's literally one digit off from the old-age pension division of Human Resources Canada. So, at the middle/end of every month we get these old, [censored] codgers calling up (usually women, I'm not sure why) wanting to talk about their pension.
I always answer the phone the same way... "Flight Operations, [last name]" and what happens... ? "Yah, I recieved a letter in the mail, I haven't gotten my pension cheque... bla-bla"
WHAT PART OF "FLIGHT OPERATIONS" INDICATES TO YOU THAT I HAVE ANYTING TO DO WITH YOUR [censored] PENSION?! [u]LISTEN WITH YOUR [/i]EARS!!!![/i][u]
Then, as if that's not enough, once I make it clear to them, usually by having to say it five times that this is TRANSPORT CANADA, and not HUMAN RESOURCES CANADA (it's not even the same number of syllables for [censored] sake!!!), they then proceed to argue with me about what phone number they dialed!
If I'm lucky, they'll just hang up. No goodbye... nope, no "oops, sorry about that", nope. Just "Oh- *click*" as if it's my fault, as if somehow I've inconvenienced them.
That's if I'm lucky...
If I'm not lucky I then have to have a 15-minute conversation with some 70-year old French-Canadian woman who sounds very much like she was rode hard and put away wet about how it's MY fault that she misdialed and answer a survey about what number SHE dialed, what number she was supposed to dial, what MY phone number is and who the hell I am.
I had one old [censored] actually ask for my supervisor because he thought I was giving him the run-around. So convinced was he in his own infallibility that it never occured to him that he dialed the WRONG [censored] NUMBER!
I swear to dog, I'm going to surround myself with honest people and if I ever get to that point where I'm a rude, self-entitled old jerk that they'll just put a bullet in my head and bury me in a shallow grave somewhere, as befitting people who are [censored].
[/ QUOTE ]
I worked for Human Resources Canada for 4 years. not all divisions relate to pension checks. Try telling that same old woman that, yes you do work for HRC, and yes you are looking for HRC, but this is not the HRC you're looking for. Also they could actually come into MY office and yell at my face.
Yeah.
I work at Staples now.

I have a PowerPoint presentation I got from someone else and three of the slides had notes which consistently acted as if they were in German. I reset the spell check to English and deleted German from the list and it didn't help. Finally I had to recreate the slides by pasting the graphics in new slides and taking the text and pasting it into a .txt file in Notepad, then back into the new PowerPoint slides.
I have no idea why it was only three slides, why it was only the notes sections of the three slides and not the text on the slides themselves, and why it didn't seem to affect anything else. Another women in my group has the language problem only in MS Outlook.
Ah well, better than old office environment, which would toggle the "Sticky Keys" shortcut back on every 4-6 for everyone in my building.

I just love rants like this, when it's so blatantly obvious that PEOPLE ARE STUPID!!
Yup, it's that simple, really.
I work in IT support of the local phone company .. you should just hear some of the stuff that goes trough!
Really .. People are stupid!
It's a simple matter of fact.

Well, long story short, I had a 40 somthing aged lady asking me when she should plug her wall socket into the ethernet network plug - Before she rran the CD-ROM or after? Obviously I told her no, and then asked how she would even manage to do that, "Easy" she said,"I have stripped the ends and put them into it, so when I turn it on like now ... OMIGAWD, ITS BURNING!!!"
Real story.
