Atlanta F2F! I'll be going to Nashville for Thanksgiving, but the earliest I'd leave would be Tuesday. I'm going to figure out how to get together with Kate one of these trips.
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Ginger, I'd love to get together sometime when you're in town! Since our families are both elsewhere, DH and I are often out of town for the holidays, but I'm hoping we can do either Thanksgiving or Christmas in Nashville this year.

I commed bon bon and Ginger's exchange; afterwards it occurred to me - porn is an infinitely renewable resource.

I am watching the Tattersalls sale and they're selling the horses in "guineas" - is a guinea a particular no. of pounds?

Traditionally, a pound was 20 shillings, a guinea 21. Not sure what it is with decimal currency.
Basically, it's a little more than a pound with more class.
eta: Whistler had a dispute with someone who commissioned something - the Peacock Room - over whether he would be paid in pounds (as you'd pay a tradesman) or in guineas.

You pay the auction house in Guineas. They pay the seller in Pounds. This gives them 5% commission.

How funny. . . and kind of unfair.
And what is a guinea compared to a dollar?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
