I have taken Home Ec in highscool and it barely had enough subtsance but only because they were doing it wrong, they taught us how to sew a button hole, fry an egg and screw in a lightbulb but not how to organize a house. I had only my shallow Home Ec book required for class which looks more like arts and crafts really. any books relating to Home Economics I have read is “At Your Sevice: Memoirs of a Majordomo by Desmond Atholl”, a biography of a Majordomo who serviced many a celebrity and powerful clients. And while the usual 30 bedroom mansion he has to command and organize is definitely not my 2 bedroom apartment I still picked up a couple of vital things in keeping a home clean and in optimum condition.
A ideal home is basically Clean and Efficient, that is all there is to it. It’s a verry personal thing so I can’t tell you how or whether you should fold or hang your clothes since I don’t know if you own a cabinet or a drawer or if it’s even ideal to your bedroom arrangement. You can use your err.. Rationality? XD to figure most of it out and whatever you have problems with you can ask us. :] Also, just to be clear, I don’t recomend the book. If it just takes too much time and effort figuring Home Ec, you should just hire your own Majordomo haha
Suprisingly interesting topic. Like how a disorganized book collection, which you might take more time finding the book rather than reading it, should be organized. The homes we live in should follow the same if not better treatment since we wake up in it everyday, for most people it’s also where they spend the most money. I wish they tackled these in HS Home Ec :c
Hello, my name is Cam :]
My goals in life are:
To build a self sufficient farm I with renewable alternative energy and everything.
Acquire financial assets to support the building of my farm and other hobbies and activities I pursue. 3 .To further my fitness and health and maintain it.
Love and Romance.
That’s pretty much it, hahaha, I want to learn the ways of a Rationalist to make the best decisions and solutions for problems I might encounter in pursuing these goals! I have a immature or childlike air around me, people tend to say, which is why I am often looked down upon me and not taken seriously. I think it’s how I construct my sentences maybe? My English is only at decent quality. Maybe I just see things too simply and positively people see it as being naive? Well, Anyway, I look forward to having you as my one of my buddies! :D
