I wondered why the husband could just make his wife move to the country by saying, "You are my wife."
Heh, I did that to Tom.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
For a while there I was considering personal protection for one of those too rich families. Talk about a job the headaches would have scuppered.
So, gender is independent of genitalia. You're a straight man if you're attracted to women, and women doesn't imply vaginas. What are you if you're attracted to people with vaginas? Is there a word for that? Gynophile?
I am having a great time searching shibari. God, there's some stunning work out there.

The other ridiculously rich family I knew was tech-money rich. Venture capitalist, owned four houses (and a vineyard) in Northern California, was the angel donor at our school. One year he provided bonuses to whole staff. Those of us who were there for 2 years got $10,000 and those of us who were there a year got $5,000. It was the first last and only time I received a bonus as a teacher.

Sarameg that is scary.
I have nothing to contribute on the "Rich People" thread. Rich people I have known have been bosses and casual acquaintances rather than friends. For what it is worth they have spanned a broad range of human behavior ranging from "psychotic asshole" to "really nice person".

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
That reminds me, I am so with flea on how I would not work out if I had tons of money. I would hire someone to work out for me.

sarameg,
I have been following that story from afar. I'm sorry the abduction happened so close to you. Does it sound like it was an acquaintance of her half-sister? That household just wasn't right for a 17-year-old.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I would work out. If I was rich, I would want to live FOREVERRRRR

My gym is begging me to come back. They're waiving initiation fee and two month's membership. I want to cry.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh, yeah, I also dated a rich boy. He was all "blah blah and my father's yacht" and I was all ??? He failed to sweep me off to Europe or anything, and it was long distance, so it wasn't like I was getting taken out to big dinners. It was kinda an underwhelming experience, really. Also, he was misogynist. But misogynist in a weird way, like, he liked getting called on it. Yeah, I dunno.
