Ray Bradbury story called 'Medicine for the Melancholy'. The heroine has some sort of malady that cannot be diagnosed and as a last resort;the family sets her up by the side of the road hoping that a passer by can identify her illness. So many people line up to give their opinion about her illness that the family decides to charge money thinking it will discourage advice. Instead they end up making quite a tidy sum since people are so eager to offer advice that they'll even pay for the privilege.


This sounds like it might be the answer to your financial worries. :)

In other news, I'm at home on my first RDO of the year. It's a bit wasted though, I had a new IUD inserted this morning and, after that fantastic narcotic type experience, I'm not allowed to operate machinery, drive, cook or do housework. The instructions don't say anything about going shopping for clothes with my kids, but I think that's probably off the menu too.

I'm off back to bed.
