Here I am, watching Desperate Housewives, and they tell us about Bree's weekly schedule. There's one day when she does her laundry, there's another day when she works in her garden, on yet another day she gets her groceries, and there's one last day (and here's the question) when she pays her bills. Now, I also have a house, and expenses, and I also have bills. But I don't allocate a whole day for paying bills every week. How come? What's so special about life in America that you have to work so hard at it?
