You know that you have food allergies when you see this in an e-mail:

Quote
Please note: This event will be held in the Museum’s galleries where food is not permitted. Please plan on having dinner prior to your arrival or enjoy a quick bite at one of the Museum’s neighboring restaurants or food carts.

and it makes you feel happy-happy-happy, and you can almost feel the stress melting away as you think...

there's no place like an art museum... there's no place like an art museum.. Ahhhhhhh   :heart:

Pretty much any museum, though at ones that attract kids, people flaunt the rules with snacks for toddlers.  Alwyay chafed me.

Docents in art museums tend to be pretty hard core about it.  LOVE that.   :heart:

Might explain why my 6yo liked MoMA so much better than Disneyland, too.   :-[

Haha.

You really thought that I would eat something that you made in your house? 

That's funny.

Discovering that you (and more critically, your child) have something in common with Miley Cyrus makes you feel...

First, of course, I hope that she is ok.

Parts of her song "We Can't Stop" remind me of FAS  :misspeak:

Maybe an allergic reaction. Maybe not.

Yeah, I also wonder SL, she has some history of cancelling appearances.  One was in Boston this winter.  Weather was balmed, but every other act on the same tour made it here, no problems.  They were all in NYC the night before.

I think publicists use "drug reaction" as a generic cover. A while back someone posted about Bieber having a reported allergic reaction to drug hospital visit. Miley makes no illusions she parties with substances it's part of her public overcompensation against her Disney days.

She may have had a bad reaction to antibiotics. Medically that sort of puts her in the larger population allergic to some meds, not LTFA.

No hate on me for her transformation or whatever it was. I had no idea what she did before Bangerz but there's a couple of good tunes. She's got a real head for marketing for her age.

More for the interested reader.

My on topic contribution. Our allergist is chomping at the bit to get DS1 on some tree nut challenges like he's just PSYCHED for it. Enthusiasm is good, I suppose.
