<p style="text-align:justify;">Dear Pre-Dead Minions:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In the blogger-race to have various illnesses, it may be that Right Girl and I are tied in the &#8220;<em>Indefinable But Looks Like Gall Bladder But There&#8217;s No Stones So Let&#8217;s Do More Tests-itis</em>&#8221; department. She had hers out already, I think, but it turns out that my GB has likewise been slowly and strangely dying for a while, but is now actively applying for ex-organ status. 18% function, saith my doc. Awesome!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">What does <strong>that</strong> mean for <em>you</em>, the <span style="text-decoration:underline;">customer</span>?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Well, some time much sooner than later, my sad little bile-bag&#8217;s gotta be whipped out and become medical waste. In the meantime, I&#8217;ve been  feeling mo&#8217; worser, much pains, sleeping more than 12 hours a day, and weary and not much inspired neither to write long screeds, nor even longer lists of links, and while there&#8217;s been a posting on the back-burner getting picked at now and again, it&#8217;s so far from finished that it&#8217;s just a sad little prod to my compulsive bloggers-guilt rather than an active project.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">So there it is. And I didn&#8217;t even bore you about the pounding kidney stones.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I&#8217;m still reading, thinking, pondering, and will be posting betimes. Just not a lot or regularly (give or take).. all prayers &amp; best wishes and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/39EB8CYQWXTU8?reveal=unpurchased&amp;filter=all&amp;sort=last-updated&amp;layout=standard&amp;x=14&amp;y=13" target="_blank">free loot</a> appreciated.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Your friend &amp; servant,</p>
<h2 style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#008000;"><em>Teh Binks</em></span></h2>
