However, I think these "comfort" relationships exist in the U.S., too, but they haven't yet adopted that term as far as I know. Wonderful, it's now been officially used in written publication.

Perhaps they should be combined.joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999395062839739698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-5891874618564022252012-06-19T07:34:20.852-02:302012-06-19T07:34:20.852-02:30I never gave much thought to Newfoundland other th...I never gave much thought to Newfoundland other than as a distant northern country from the USA until I became quite enraptured by The Shipping News years ago.
