As an aside, when English people speak of “corn,” pre-New-World, they mean “grains” or “kernels” or “seed of a cereal crop,” as in “barleycorn.” I was once reading a historical romance and totally finger-pointing at the poor author . . . until I did a little research.)

Which is your aptly-made point: do the research. XO (raises glass in a toast)

I know this post’s focus is on Money; however, I feel the urge to make you re-think, at least, the part of the sentence relating to Sex. You see, while it may encompass “the pleasures and comforts of companionship,” the fact is that… when Sex sucks… no amount of companionship can remedy for that. Substituting Companionship for sexual Satisfaction creates an Imbalance: it is unhealthy.

So… No. Sex is sex. It can encompass many other things, but, ultimately, it is just that: Sex.

Another irk: medieval people drinking tea. Unless they’re Chinese, of course, in which case, drink on.

I haven’t been blogging much during NaNoWriMo, but I’m putting up a post or two about things I’ve been looking into when I suddenly Need To Know. Driver licensing in the 1930s, Jeyes Fluid, Horlicks, zombies…

Thanks!
