SERVING HINT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Always Smile
The first thing to remember about serving,
always have it come from your devoted slave-heart.
take a deep breath and remember to use adjectives,
allow the Masters/Mistress's to"feel" your total devotion.
The simplest way to do this is to clear your mind, actually "see" your serve.
Use many descriptions and try NEVER to use the same word twice in one stanza.
 By doing this it will help the Master/Mistress "watch"you as well.
Keep your head is always lifted high,
this shows the Master/Mistress that you are proud
that he/she has selected you to please Him/Her,
an honor for any kajira.
When you are ready to serve, alwayskneel at his/her feet;
and before you offer the drink or food,
ALWAYS
place it over your devoted slave-heart for three beats
to show your submission to Him/Her and your serve.
Lift the goblet, bowl, glass, cup...to your warm lips,softly kiss the rim...
this ensures there is no poision,
and also ensures the perfect tempurature and taste
for  Master's/Mistress's flawless lips to touch.
NEVER EVER leave this nadu position until the Master/Mistress dismisses you.
`
Remember,
a kajiras serve ALWAYS comes from her heart,
never a popup, never copied and never the same serve as the one before.

Sugars and Salt

There is a huge misconception on most of  IRC Gor.
Kajirae are notorious for putting salt in Master's blackwine.
What?

The only two colors of sugars are white and yellow. This is proven in the scrolls.The "redrocks" that so many are fond of using is actually one of the colored SALTS found native on Gor.
So girls, unless you are willing to risk a Master's wrath by putting salt in blackwine or any other drink...please use only the white and yellow sugars.
~~*The sugars are free flowing as earthen.

~~~~~Where the 'sweetrock' myth came from..no one knows.~~~~~
