I dunno about less of me. Although my last visit to the croaker revealed 
that I have lost 11 kilos since the last visit two months ago. Still, if 
you take 11 litres out of the Pacific Ocean no one will notice.   Bv)=

One of the problems is that the diabetes medication that I take seems to 
promote weight gain. Of course, I argue with my MD about this. I will be 
so glad when I turn 65 and am on Medicare and can choose a better doctor
