So, tell us all, Emmanuel, just how long you've experienced this kidney problem and just what the doctors (cradle-to-the-grave absolutely-"free" Canadian health care is all we hear about from the cascading numbers of emigrating Canadian Docs, so maybe we have a skewed attitude on the saner side of the border) have advised you about this. Less alcohol? Less coffee? Maybe a transplant? Pray, having started the issue, tell us all! Just how bad ARE your internal organs? Emmanuel, I admire you for your honesty. If I had such a problem, I'd be too embarrassed to discuss my disability on a world-wide net of dysfunctional fanatics but, hey, to each his own! After all, Bob Dole has Told All about his sexual, er, difficulties and no one has connected this with his wife's flight to North Carolina and immersion into a campaign for a US senate seat. But, then, you guys be the judge of whatever you want. Me? I'm tired of moving houses and computers. I'm off for a dinner of leftovers and whatevers. My dogs will admire the many remainders from this repast.
