It is a rare condition from which not many of us suffer. Thanks for your comment, Becca.

Thanks Jan. I've been using the tag-line, "Just another warrenpiece" for some time now wondering if anybody would say it out loud and get the connection. You are the first to comment on it, so I guess it isn't too subtle after-all.

Good one! I enjoyed it with my daily ice cream and cake. No worries about me being fat deficient. BG
