      Welcome!   03/05/2016

      Welcome, everyone, to the new 910CMX Community Forums. I'm still working on getting them running, so things may change.  If you're a 910 Comic creator and need your forum recreated, let me know and I'll get on it right away.  I'll do my best to make this new place as fun as the last one!

    The genes reassort themselves in different ways with each individual sperm or egg.  That's why siblings aren't identical.  You'd end up with two copies of one side and none of the other for more than enough genes to result in a different individual.  The offspring also migt be prone to genetic abnormalities from recessive genes being duplicated.
    If the TFG was designed for helping out entire species who have too few of one sex versus the other, it probably has some sort of safeguard against, say, abnormalities within the genome of the transformed self, but I don't know that it would be able to leave any sort of lingering magic that would fix problems in the next generation!  You'd probably have even more chance of problems than siblings would.  (In the real world, twins who are able to reproduce together means one boy and one girl, thus they cannot be identical and are no more related than any other sibling pair.)

    You're on vacation, yet you're in here fixing stuff for us -- either you're a highly dedicated and generous person, or the destination is a bust. ;-P
    (Translation: Hope you're actually having a fabulous time, and only come in here when you've walked or danced your feet off!)

    CritterKeeper got a reaction from The Old Hack in Changing Medications (Level of Trust Required)   
    They did a story about the history of sleep on public radio's Backstory last year, and apparently, what you describe is what was considered completely normal back around the Revolution, when we didn't have electric or gas lights letting us stay up to all hours.  People would go to bed earlier than most of us do now, sleep until around midnight, then wake up for an hour or so.  They'd read, pray, catch up on paperwork, even go visiting.  Then, they'd go back to bed and sleep for a few more hours before getting up with the sun or thereabouts.
    My boss and I have both had plenty of times we'd fall asleep on the couch in the late evening, then wake up for no known external reason around three or three-thirty in the morning, get up, go to bed, and go back to sleep for the rest of the night.  Same sort of schedule as you, just a few hours later.
    So, whether it's caused by the new meds or not, at least you can relax about whether the sleep pattern itself is unhealthy.  May that help you rest easier!
     
    ETA: Here's a link to the story!  http://backstoryradio.org/2014/11/02/sleep-well/

    Hi everyone. How's life?
    Also, it's weird to see Hack without the Mr. Raven icon. Creepy...
    And I don't think I gave you a Newbie Pack before the forum went belly-up on us. You and about one or two others, I think. Ah well. Something to think about.
    Oh, and I think I have something laying around here... Ah. Here it is. Lemme dust this off, throw in some new words, and...

    What makes me happy (and amuses me no end) is to inadvertently look up at a tab and see that it reads, "Robin has sent you a mess..."
    Said message being the one where he has returned me to moderator status. XD

    It may come down to money....I've heard there are ways to recover from pretty bad physical damage, but it has to be done in a clean room, and is very delicate work, and is thus expensive.  Depending on how expensive, we might be able to do a GoFundMe to raise enough, but I assume we'd need to know the less expensive routes were fruitless and how much and how likely to succeed the next step was.

    Venting a bit is natural, but I don't think anyone means to complain about Robin, or Ben or Thom.  We all know they're doing everything they can, and if/when they need help many of us will be happy to contribute!  I'm just glad they were able to restart the forums and give us a place to hang out together again!
    BTW, I see you got your definite article back! :-)
