Saw the other day on tv a "fruitarian", a movement of people who only eat fruit cause "nature gave it willingly" even veggies would mean hurting the plants and that's no good.

Also isn't a butler of higher status than a maid? A housekeeper would be the same status (sometimes higher, sometimes lower than the butler)
By Bloodrose 2015-11-06 10:22:28
There are head maids, and head butlers.
It really depends on the hierarchy and social norms, but generally they share the same duties and ranks.

The local lottery here is about 65million this week, too, so I should probably buy a ticket so I can't win anything >.>

The housekeeper would be the 'head maid' with maids working under her and the butler would be the senior male sevant

I think there's a difference because of historical gender roles. The closer correlated term to butler is probably matron, as maid is a low tier servant.

567 million SEK. you can live comfortably at like 500k-1m a year
Quote: "Sweden performs exceptionally well in overall well-being, as shown by the fact that it ranks among the top countries in a large number of topics in the Better Life Index," the OECD said in a statement.
The index, which looks at 34 OECD members and key trading partners Brazil, Russia, China, India, Indonesia and South Africa, was dominated by European countries. Canada came in third, however, ahead of both Norway and Switzerland, while the United States was ranked sixth.
While Sweden's average household net-adjusted disposable income was calculated at $26,242 (229 153 SEK) a year, more than the $2,000 above the OECD average, the organization nonetheless noted a considerable wage gap on the income scale.
"There is a considerable gap between the richest and poorest – the top 20 percent of the population earn more than four times as much as the bottom 20 percent," the summary said.

I wonder what I would do with 65 million dollars...
By Bloodrose 2015-11-06 10:32:30
65million would last a long time here, since it's more than enough to live off the interest in moderate luxury.

A matron worked in a hospital though

Not here no. A matron was a woman married to a roman citizen and thus with liberty, later it transformed to represent a female head figure of a house. Most often an orphanage or a nunnery, but can also indicate the head of the servants.

Ah. In English speaking countries it was this:
Quote: The matron was once the most senior nurse in a hospital (in the United Kingdom before ca. 1967). She was responsible for all the nurses and domestic staff, overseeing all patient care, and the efficient running of the hospital, although she almost never had real power over the strategic running of the hospital. Matrons were almost invariably female—male nurses were not at all common, especially in senior positions. They were often seen as fearsome administrators, but were respected by nurses and doctors alike.

Considering the interest rates given by Canadian Banks for having more than a certain amount of money stored in their institutions, and depending on how frugally people can live, that would be generations... or it can be gone in a week.

This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
