May I call you Rudyard?

We had a kettle; we let it leak:
Our not repairing made it worse.
We haven't had any tea for a week...
The bottom is out of the Universe. -Rudyard Kipling

Heed that, fellow procrastinators and mountain-makers of mole hills, alike. 

Pretty sure our Jungle friend wasn't just talkin' about tea, but his words are easier to swallow, that way.

Go forth and repair. . . or in my case, do laundry.

These are the Rubbermaid plastic carafes with airtight lids I've been yammering on about for weeks to anyone who'll listen.
