Top 10 signs you're an IC Pro
IC insights If you frequent "The Late Show with David Letterman" then you are familiar with his "Top Ten" list, wherein a subject is picked and ten funny things are listed about it. It's a mainstay of the show. So as I was strolling to the loo the other night for the umpteenth time, I began to formulate my own "top 10" list (in my head), and this is what I came up with.
The Top 10 signs you’re an IC Pro
10.) You can smell a tomato coming in your direction
9.) You know how many squares per role are on each of the leading brands of toilet paper.
8.) You know of more IC related websites than Google
7.) You know of every doctor with in a fifty mile radius and have stopped speaking to most of them.

It would be great to see other people's lists or suggestions for IC related "top 10s". I hope this brought a smile to your lips or perhaps even a chuckle. IC can be brutally tough and extremely painful but that is no reason we can't laugh at ourselves now and then, trust me it helps make life a lot more bearable.
