@ariel-ashira Haha, I can’t mind that you left without telling me yesterday since you can see I did the very same thing to @seekjustice last night! 😛

I see you two had quite the conversation this morning. 😉  Speaking of things they used to do for burns, I don’t know about the middle ages, but I know somewhere around the 1700s-1800s they would…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira

Awwww…really? *hugs*

@ariel-ashira

Oh, I should have known the aloe and honey ones. The rest are quite interesting.

Basically it means I take first aid classes every week and I have two first aid certificates.

Ah that’s me too. I often get up at 6ish to write before my family gets up. I’m probably going to go to bed now, but I’ll happily chat tomorrow 🙂

@ariel-ashira

It gives me warm fuzzy feelings being told I’m one of someone’s best friends 😀

@ariel-ashira I’m a first aid officer, so I’ve researched a lot of different injuries. I do know quite a bit about third degree burns and ouch, in medieval times??? That would be nasty. I don’t know what they did for burns in the Middles ages though. I’m curious to know now 😀

Its 9:45pm. I’m not usually on at this time (because I have a no te…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira

Yeah, its incredibly interesting and also very much underused. I actually feel (I’m no expert) that the other type of amnesia doesn’t happen very much, whereas the not remembering things correctly afterward happens quite a lot. You can see it in dementia as well, people with dementia remembering their childhoods really well, but…[Read more]

@rochellaine @ariel-ashira

Anyone around still? I’m here to do some editing!

@ariel-ashira i loved the Black Stallion years ago. My favourite horse book will always be War Horse though.

@rochellaine

Ooh, ooh what song is it??

@ariel-ashira I don’t dislike them, I just like other books better.  I do remember I liked the first one when I read it, but that was probably eight or ten years ago and I can barely remember it now.

@seekjustice I’ve been listening to all the versions I can find of a song that reminds me very strongly of your Stars books and especially Justice.

@ariel-ashira Yes, you should definitely read Hans Brinker!!!  It’s such an amazing book!!

I’ve only read the first Black Stallion book, so I don’t know to what you’re referring. 🙁  If you want to clarify I’m probably not ever going to read the rest of the series so I don’t mind spoilers. 😉

My grandmother had the same problem when she had a r…[Read more]

@northerner @kate-flournoy

Personally, I decided to hang around here because I don’t have enough time for two forums (though I do have an account on SE) and because the people who I’ve become especially close to are still here (*cough* @alia @rochellaine @jenwriter17 @ariel-ashira ). I’m sad that everyone else has gone, but I felt I had to choose…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira Ah, I had that problem about a month ago when I had to use a different computer from mine. 🙁  I ended up writing a little bit on a google doc and then giving up. 😛

Well, I know at least that the cliche thing that happens in half of the amnesia fiction stories where the person gets hit on the head again in the same place and it…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira I like amnesia.  I’m not so fond of third degree burns. 😛  I was going to give Chara some, but I didn’t want her to get scarred, so I just gave her some painful, but not long-lasting second degree burns. 🙂  It was a selfish reason, though.  Having her be scarred would be too much trouble to write about and I wanted her to heal qui…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira I’m still here.  What are you working on?

I’m working on some stuff with my parents books.  Is anyone on?  @seekjustice @ariel-ashira @alia @jenwriter17

@kate-flournoy Haha, glad I could clear it up! 😛  Oh, and I noticed in your post you were saying you thought we were trying to “prove our loyalty to KP” by “competing with SE”.  Actually we’re not at all trying to compete with SE.  The whole thing is about the people who left without a second glance and have completely deserted KP for SE.  Sev…[Read more]
