Lindesfarne Dewclaw: GEARING UP

I wasn't aware of "There," but I do know of "Ninth Life."
Tammy will be part of the wedding party.
And yes, Kell's language was quite colorful (but not around Coney). I did do some changes to it.

First I thought you were saying that Tammy wouldn't be present at the wedding, merely Skyping during the ceremony.

Still busy writing about Second Life, or what you might call Ninth Life, Lindesfarne. People here sometimes have virtual weddings, but I haven't seen one in a while.

By the way, another virtual world, "There", went out of business (article March 4). Was there a similar place online in Domain?

Actually, Lindesfarne, you may slack off on your classes later. But only a little. You might find that, with everything going on, you need more than twenty-four hours a day to accomplish everything you need to do. If you have to decide what to do in that situation, the logical decision would be to let your classwork slide for a few days or weeks. You're already on an accelerated graduation path from what you expected, and I'm certain your grades are excellent. You can make up any classwork that you might miss: you can't make up for a botched wedding.

With Tree in a fragile condition, you might want to consider an alternative to the standard honeymoon. Perhaps a series of shorter 'mini-honeymoons' when the weather is forecast to be good in the Beige area for the next few days. You might also have someone you trust (Rachel? Rhonda?) stay with Tree during those times to ensure her well-being.

Somehow, if she's anything like us humans, I think you probably cleaned up Kell's language about her cast. We humans don't often use phrases like 'constant source of mental anguish.' We use other phrases like 'driving me nuts' or others that I can't repeat here. I think Kell may have crossed that same linguistic line as well.

No question this week? At least, not at this hour. You might ask where other readers went on their honeymoons... (In my case, nowhere. Single, never married.)

They can get and age their meat as anyone else can get and prepare the meat. No problem, public option for meals, sorta.

The only problem with that is their would be nothing for the vultures to eat. They live on rotting meat.

I have a question, maybe for next week,
'Should Domain have a organ donation program, and should it be an opt-out program rather than an opt-in program?'
And
'Should we use HT to run this program?'
(smirks, ducks and hides)

Actually using everyone's remains would theoretically cut done on the need to hunt.

The census seems to be of the large sized people/critter.
Almost as if HT was running a census of potential meat locker room inhabitants.

Old Prof. Otter got it wrong. Their is no objection to anything. I was just pointing out that Lindesfarne & fenton do thing differantly then we do. Their rest time is during the day will most do it during the night. What they do is none of our buisness. But with Lingesfarne busy work load both her studys & planing for her upcoming wedding she may be to sleepy to do much of anything.

Ok this was to Steve Brams comment, and re-reading his, I now see that he was objecting to the sleeping-at-night implied comment from Mortar.

Just three hawks here. My fiance and our chick. We have the top apartment in a divided tree dwelling.

Oh, I am the one standing up, thanks. And do you like my long tail? I think it's my best feature! ((Preens)) But I couldn't imagine climbing a tree, and I think I'm more wolfy than cattish, though my cousin calls me Kiki-Kitten. My claws aren't retractible, and I have a pouch like a kangaroo-roo so I can carry young, I guess. ((Shrugs)) I like to carry my teddy and dolly there sometimes.

5 people in my immediate family. (Though being 25 and still living at home does have some social stigma attached to it, it is much cheaper than the alternative at this point.)

I thought the comment was referencing mating positions or at least compatible sleeping positions, not college or tech support positions.

Lindesfarne,
Would your mice and squirrel count? Why or why not?
