Dear wwh,

Whoa! Even were I to dress like a woman--say, in a balletic interpretation of "Twelfth Night," stars a-plenty there! I'd refrain from wearing anything ressembling a girdle. Girls in girdles are...girl-dull!

Tightening up my belt a notch or two before leaping toward the celestial spheres,
OrB

Hey dr. bill, I think she's saying she's a man.

Welcome OrionsBelt!
Took a look at your Profile for a gender-hint and got "Parker" ... [great gusty sigh - e]
You and the Rhubarb Commando might/could form an empathetic collusion to really keep us on our toes!

sounds exactly like what Orion wanted.

Faldage, you're a telepath! Or do both folks have to be telepathic to communicate mentally?

Welcome, OrionsBelt~! Our local astronomy expert says Betelgeuse is now the most prominent it's been in ages. Could that have something to do with you showing up?

Dear wow,

Took a look at YOUR profile and read you're serving as "high priestess." What's this? What's your role here on AWAD as high priestess? There's an Ann Parker somewhere back there in my heritage, by the way.

And where is this tsuwm with his meteoric display of facts to show the range of words? My hope's glittering here that empath shines on one of his lists as a viable word, for the world needs that one in the firmament.

Hoping to put that one 'neath my belt,
OrB

Dear W'On,

Betelgeuse is my right shoulder, and there's a lady sitting there if you know my history. And there she'll sit till the coming of the white dwarf. She's my brightest star and I carry her everywhere with me as we travel across the sky, she with her high, hot winds...

Feeling her heat now and her windy breath,
OrB

in fact, empath (a back-formation) was first used in sf sometime in the 1940s to distinguish from telepath; the latter reads thoughts, the former reads emotions.

p.s. - empathy = G. einfühlung
