[quote=TeCKis300][quote=scaredyclassic]i was just discussing with my kid how every time you acquire a possession it’s kind of got a n accompanying maintenance/insurance/care factor. there is nothing you can get that is not a pain in some way to keep. he kind of got it, although i suppose he is thinking more along the line of consumables which aren’t really keeping things.
what is there one can get that is not a chore to keep?
good health? not a “thing”…
we did yesteday buy some very old industrial style styeel and wood pallets from an old envelope factory, heavy and very beat up, for a coffee table, which ianticipate will have a very low maintenance factor.
kind of the opposite of the fancy new european car my wife acquired.
even a rental home just seem s like a pain in the ass[/quote]
What about the acquired wife? I assume the european car was maintenance for said wife.
Of course, I’m realizing this for my own situation…[/quote]
And the wife is maintenance for the self.
Even your health is a chore to maintain.
It’s the law of entropy: nothing can be maintained without effort.
