'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh, fiddlesticks! (Or some expression much much worse.) I thought I'd be getting the furnace installed today, but it turns out the schedule visit -- for 8 AM -- was for a guy to take measurements and confirm that the asbestos was gone.
On the bright side, he was REALLY impressed with the abatement job, he even took a picture. And he knows that we don't have heat, so they'll bump us up in priority. I just wish I knew when it was going to be.

Looks more like a torrid affair to me....
I really wish my boss would stop saying "You're on my list of things to do today" to people, because I always think she is making a dirty joke, and she is not.
Ha ha ha! I had something like that yesterday, but now I can't remember what it was.
Of course, I was the one screaming about porn as we were waiting for the elevator. Oops.
I'm not sure if ita should know about this....
In Korawan, a remote area of India, there’s a bank that allows people to deposit goats as savings, or borrow goats on credit. Local coordinator Subedar Singh explained how it works:
“Wives of these people help them in crushing stones and breed two-three goats for additional income,” Singh said.
“Though the area is best suited for goat breeding, no effort was made to establish it as a full fledged business activity,” he said.
“We provide goats to women having interest in taking up breeding as a full-time activity as loan. When a goat gives birth to kids, generally two to three in numbers, one of them is deposited with the bank again,” Prema explained.
Goats in the bank are medically examined every week.
“In case a goat dies, then it is either replaced from the market or from the bank depending upon the availability,” Prema said.
Mussed, ginger Cumberbatch for the win!
msbelle, can you drop me an email? I don't have your new email addy.
I don't think I understand how to submit something for Tumbler? Like, how do I make a link (do I use HTML, or will it link for me)
There's lots of tools for that. Play around with the stuff on the dashboard - put a simple url into 'link', for example. It's far more user-friendly than most blogs, which can be a bit restrictive/confusing for some of us who know a bit more about how things work!
Edited because I did not finish, apparently.
It will link for you if you click "submit a text post" and pick "submit a link" instead.
And sometimes I edit submissions if I think more of the story should be in the post, or I want to include a picture or something, but not always.
