Some of what is or will be in this Guide may seem to some as being downright elementary. They may say to themselves, "DUH!!! Does Sanguinarius think we are all ignorant retards, or what?" Absolutely not! I am going on the assumption that there might be some who access this Guide who might NOT know anything about ANYTHING. At one point, NONE of us knew anything about this; somewhere along the way, we learned. Some are fortunate that they had someone who did know things to guide them and help them learn and survive (those are the ones who will say, "DUH!!" to this stuff), but others aren't so fortunate. For whatever reasons, they have nobody to help them out, and they must learn things the hard way. Some of them end up dead, junkies, injured, confined to jails -- or worse, mental institutions; if they're lucky, other people will just look at them kinda funny and mutter amongst themselves the latest rumour they've heard...

This Guide is for those who need it, and can learn something from it.

If you have any information, useful tips, advice, techniques, etc., on things like feeding, dealing with the thirst, health or comfort concerns, psychic attacks and shielding, or whatever else you think would be useful and beneficial, please, please send it along. I will give you credit and an email link, or a link to your page, or whatever. (You have to tell me, though, or I'll just stick it up here as Anonymous...)

Newer items will be marked on their respective pages with and will not necessarily appear at the top of the page.
