communicate. Their research showed that we humans communicate 55% by

Farewell, milady...
I visited lots of the LM you gave me for roleplay outfits -great things and amazing places!!! I then met another RL educator with lots of experience in SL and his wife, who's really into fashion and now I have lots of things to continue exploring and having fun with. I've decided I'm going to be a Bard on the way to a Druidess if possible.
I have one question (many, but let's start with one): do I need to change my avatar's name for the roleplay? And among all the useful info you gave me there was a piece that said I could get metered at the village entrance -should I do it or should I wait for Tammy or you to help and /or authorize?

I enjoyed the tour very much. Thank you for letting me join and helping me -I hope we meet again soon. I'll work on my character and read the rules and history of my new village. I hope I can be an artisan...Your clothes are very beautiful, BTW. I've also bookmarked the wiki and blog.
kind regards

I would have loved to attend the Medieval workshop (edited an outfit and everything -the top part of my hair was missing but I was told I need to get it from outside my inventory). There were just too many interesting sessions!
Do you meet regularly for Medieval role-playing? I've joined a group that does something similar in Italian (it's role-playing but with a micro-movie as a goal) and I'd love to join you if you meet regularly.
Warm regards
