prop, I believe we've met before, on another list. As I think I told you then, reality is -exactly- what we make of it. No other person outside of your relationship can discount what you are experiencing. I can understand the concern that some have here over what seem to be basic safety issues. These, to me, have nothing to do with SSC, consent, or even conditioned servitude such as you describe. They are more common-sense issues like, if there were a fire, would your owner prefer you to die rather than leave the house? No judgement -- just asking the question, from which decisions might be made by your owner... namely, does he wish to provide you with instructions that would enable you, in an emergency, to protect his property. If the question has already come up, then I would say that, for you, everything is settled. If it hasn't, were this one of my servants, I would appreciate hearing the question, respectfully presented. The reason for that is that I would prefer my servant(s) to survive the loss of our home in the event of a fire, or to survive an injury or illness because they were able to call 911 for help, even if I were not present. If your owner has already decided that this isn't important to him, that is all well and good. If he's already made arrangements to manage it, well and good. If not, or if he hasn't directed you as to how to handle yourself in such situations, perhaps he would appreciate an opportunity to make a decision on the matter -- a bonus for me being that then, my servants do not have to -guess-... They know that if there is a crisis situation, their first responsibility is to protect themselves, as my most valuable property. If they can save other things that are precious to me in the process, they are certainly to do so, as long as -they- are not at risk. As far as other people's opinions... others may not choose to live the way that you do, but that does not give them the right to discount your experience or the magnitude of your choice. To be honest, this is the level of committment that we, also, expect from our servants. Though we handle the day-to-day issues differently, the magnitude of the commitment that we have made to this life, by the time we accept a servant as ours, is at the same magnitude. Lady Zephyr
