Aw man... and I didn't even get credits for the alliteration.

QCverse seems to be a lot more accepting than our verse, though of course that could be due to the limited perspective the characters we follow show us.
How does an Australian end up a DAR? I think they're lineage based.

I was attempting to translate, however clumsily into terms familiar in a US cultural context.
I might join the CWA - but here, that's not the Concerned Women of Australia, it's the Country Women's Association. While a lot of their social activities still involve making preserves, quilting, quite literally homespun yarns, many are cyber-savvy - running large farms is very hi-tech, even bleeding-edge in robotics and remote monitoring. Healthcare in remote areas pretty much has to involve remote diagnosis, sometimes telesurgery. They're my kind of gals. http://www.cwaa.org.au/about-us/

Pretty much the same for me. I think I'm just maybe a little more square.

Love the last panel. Both Claire's concern for Marten (bet she faced similar issues) and Marten's expression.
(Zoe hums "Harper Valley PTA" in background)
And I'm probably showing my age there, as many/most readers might not get the reference. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harper_Valley_PTA

It does suck trying to use terms and terminologies when you're on the other side of the planet. Even something as simple as mum/mom (it grates me a little to use the American spelling, but I still do mostly out of host localisation (no way am I slipping a 'z' in there, though, or retracting a 'u' from my colourful language :-D).

Same here. What people get up to behind closed doors is their business. As Westrim addressed, so long as no-one is getting hurt (Wait. Bondage. Better make that "hurt outside their pre-defined consensual agreements" (I would have no effing clue how you work that out. Anyway, moving on)), or engaging in activities knowingly (key word being knowingly) spreading infections (it doesn't matter who you are or what you're into, STDs are nasty business), then I couldn't care less.

Communication and negotiation. At least in a healthy relationship and/or transaction. In what I consider an optimal situation, both parties care about each other and fulfilling their desires/needs, but also because they care about each other they aren't going to push their limits into the destructive range.
