I'm convinced that you're me. Will Smith was my first love and I was *besotted* with him from age 12. I had no idea you had sickle cell. Does this affect you badly? {hug} What is it about these ailments that afflict black people? My one is a predominantly black disease. I too love vanilla ice cream but despise the smell! And how on earth do you live the life of the idle rich? Can we swap lives for a bit? x
