@M.A.R. Whoa. Well, thankfully you have access to dialysis. Long time no talk. Hope you are well. I've heard about some kind of newer ways that don't require going to a clinic or center with the machines, but maybe it's only for rich people. And I wonder about the chances of getting another kidney? I suppose I'd give you mine. It might make you handsome like me.

I'm not sure which word to use

Is it light up?

Or is it "turn blue"?

or "start glowing blue"?

or "a blue light should activate inside the button"?

There must be some run-of-the-mill phrase

@Segev The definition of "bald" that probably applies here is "undisguised, palpable - bald arrogance". It could also be "lacking adornment or amplification - a bald assertion" Without knowing the context, it's difficult to say.

"Insisting that people call her "Goddess" is bald egotism. She could at least pretend to be a little bit humble."

@JimReynolds oh, there are those ways, but they're less sanitary

And take thrice the time

@JimReynolds ugh, I don't want your kidney!

It probably smells

@CowperKettle I kept reading that as "adorable"
