A Big Post Scriptum before todays’ entry:  Im writing now at another site, in the MSN Spaces, to read it, just click over my name in the MSN list (when you are online, obvious) and then, click on “view space”. A flicking star, in orange colour displays whenever I add a new entry. (in MSN) . Facing problem in reaching me out? Get in touch, I will be glad to explain the steps for you.

House Hold Headaches   

 

Since last year I havent written anymore in here.  Two very convincing and reasonable reasons for that: 

 

First: I didnt feel like adding any scrap in here. (yes, I dont write under pressure, folks)

 

Second: I’ve begun my official blog, in MSN Spaces.  In Portuguese, since many people have complained they couldnt understand my words. Dont know portuguese?  Oh... Well, well, nothing is perfect. 

 

 

But......but!!!!  A new dilema has popped up in my life and this is the right time I wrote about it. In English, yes. Today i feel like writing in the Shakespeare Language.

 

Look at the tittle: House  Hold   headache

 

Yes, my friends...  The maintenance of a home is something that should be taught since elementary school, or, at least, mothers should be more conscious about that and teach their children since they are able to speak a simple sentence – subject – verb – object  in an understandable way.

 

In fact, if I may go further on this, this subject  “home keeping” could be divided in credits, just like they do at university. Along 10 years, the kid would be exposed to a wide range of topics, divided into credits, each one having eventually, a final project to be accomplished

We could start, say, in Basic ones , like measuring rooms (maths, geometry). This would take the first year of a freshman (kid?) and would worth 20 credits to his final graduation process.  The final project would be like going to decoration stores and making a whole planing of furnishing of the rooms in the house, taking into consideration the real measurements of each room, and also, why not? A real plan drawn at CAD. (Come on, 7 year-old  little fellows know how to deal with computers better than us, dont they?)

 

 

At a certain point of the child’s study, he would have 4 semesters, making the total of 2 years,  of  basic maintenance skills.  We could divide the 4 years into “White goods”, “Carpentry”,  “Houseware” and finally, “Electronic Appliances”.   Or, if this sound too complicated, dividing the 2 years into : 1^st term: kitchen/laundry appliances, 2^nd term: living room/ dining room; 3^rd term: bathroom, restroom and conservatory and finally the 4^th term: bedrooms/study/home theatre. Well.  This would keep the kid busy for 2 years and at the end of this period, he could work part time at the next-door fixing/repair centre.

 

 

These super educated teens would declare war against all those snakes-like, butt-headed, arses, thieves, who call themselves as “authorized personel” who screw us up everytime we need to call them to save us from a “not getting the water heated” washing machine, “cant stop leaking” tap and even from a “the flushing doesnt seem to be working” toilete

In my case, I would have saved bags of money and would have kept updated with my “book of life” years, as I feel i have decreased my life expectancy due to the sordid, sadic, evil stress which these kinds of troubles brought into my life.  Medical Insurance plans could be replaced for a minor and more basic plan, no need anymore of  hospital interventions due to hysteria and imobilization (most arms) for a week. 

 

 

The impact on the members of the society would be so great that many carreers, liberal professionals would have to consider a “plan B” and change professions.

 

The psychologists would feel the impact as first in the row, they would have their rooms emptied and the divan left for the dust to accumulate over it.  On a second phase, the psychiatrists would also feel that the number of patients had diminished and this would make them change for “butchery” carreers instead. 

 

The numebr of divorces would fall abruptely.  Believe me.  Yes, I know you can spot the reasons.  We, women, think that every man on the face of Earth was born with a microship installed (maybe this explains their body extreme shapes, eh?) that enables them to work out any sort of incident and malpractice in our home appliances.  From A to Z, men are believed to know how to emend, fix, repair, paint, glue etc etc absolutely anything inside a house.  But, only when we get married we find out that their skills are awful and indeed, they are also, victims of the Fixing/Repair People Empire.  

 

 

Well, this we actually find out after their attempts to satisfy our illusions about “how smart they are”  and they end up screwing the bits even more than they were already.  Yes.  Dont look this way.  We all know that you did try to fix that noisy door one day and spoiled the carpet by dropping oil on it.  That stain is the proof that I know what I am talking about.  Your “superman” confidence and your “I know everything” philosophy (since cavemen age) is the responsible for the sudden rise in the bill whenever we need to replace any “surrounding areas”  or bits near the target.

On the other hand, men would get freed from the usual female quote: “I told you!” . So, as seen and concluded, we all would be able to carry on our relationships, married, without any external threat, and any further accidents.

 

So, at the end, you would still have your money and ur life expectancy on the tracks.
