Money is the biggest (or maybe one of the top three; it's been a long time since I took Soc. Marriage) issue in marriages, across socio-economic lines, even when the couple are from the same sort of background, have the same level of education, and income.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

Hey, I'd be happy to support an artist and/or musician husband whom I thought was talented (or amusing). Even better if he likes to clean the house in order to relax.
And at least looks like or IS Hugh Dillon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's funny to think about my parents, because when they met, their respective families probably had similar amounts of money even by then. But my mother's family had been rich, and my father's family had been poor, and all of my grandparents kept a lot of their childhood attitudes their whole lives.

I'm the best daughter ever. I'm finagled my dad a poster of this [link] ,which he'd recently admired.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sure. But the support-an-artist model is a pretty well accepted one, where the supportee's (supposed) genius gives them a social standing above their income. The same often applies for the whole class of Educated People Without Paychecks To Match (academics, clergy, Mother Teresa if she were a marriageable guy....) It's a lot more rare to support a gas-station attendant because he gives good foot rubs.

Well, I woke up this morning with an idea for some SGA fic, so that was good. Now all I need to do is take out hits on the two morons who just made me see red, and we're back in business.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I just saw a Kansas City Star newspaper. Headline in huge print "12 miners found alive after 41 hours".
Yeah, there's the same headline on the Cincinnati Enquirer, and someone in my office said the New York Times had a similar headline.
Apparently the early editions of most major papers had headlines about the miners being alive.
