It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

ita, that outfit is pretty similar to what I wear. I'll take care of it. Today: white collared shirt with darts, big buttons & 3/4 sleeves. B/w check trousers and loafers.

Safety pins!

ita, what about asking about depth of the topic(s) covered specifically? Also, too fast/too slow, what parts did they not find relevent, what they found confusing.

You want to word it so they give you specifics, as opposed to being too open ended (because then they have to think harder to make up their own words.) Also, ask stuff about the audience. Even if they won't tell you that perhaps you should do more X, you might see from their demographics that gee, they use a lot of things that X would help them with.

(no idea the scope or type of the presentation, I'm basing this off a survey we just closed.)

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I was kidding about what I'm wearing. I am so not ruffle girl. Pink boots, on the other hand, I would love to have.

Ann, that's a ferret.

A German zoo has imported four female penguins from Sweden in an effort to tempt its gay penguins to go straight.

Because they just haven't met the right gull yet....

But your body fits right inside the engineering, no?

Sort of. I usually wear a camisole just in case. I'm pretty short waisted, what little of a waist I have, so maybe that's the trick?

Aren't there Mexian tear-out-my-heart songs?

Yes, as Betsy points out. But I only have enough room for about 17 songs and I'm working with what I got right now.

Ha! Sarameg gave the exact oppositve info that I did. We always go openended. We do also ask demographic info (grade you teach, subject you teach, years you've been teaching).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ganked, thanks, Kat.

Lee -- I think that fulfilling Cake's desires is always good, especially since it always puts me in mind of the legal profession (it's been bon and Vortex's theme music in my head for eons). To wit -- long jacket short skirt.

I have pink boots! [link] But I'm not wearing them today. I have no skirts with ruffles, though. Or white sweaters.
