fix me

We all want to be fixed when we are broken down, now don’t we all (i.e. soooo we say anyway). It’s like if our car is broken down, we have to get it fixed to make it run. But do we really want to be fixed as a person? It appears to me that there are a lot of folks that don’t like to be told what to do, how to do it, when to do it, and where to do it; in other words they don’t like to be fixed! It appears that we can be very independent and stubborn and stiff-necked.

Betty Assistance says, use the American payment plan, fix now and pay later! We always want an easy fix like a magic pill that has immediate results. We want to buy an easy fix! When I was a kid, I worked as a teenager for Duke, our neighbor, who was a farmer. He milked cows as part of his operation. One day there was a cow that was down and looked like she was going to die, really looked bad. The vet came and took a huge syringe of medicine and stuck into a vein in her neck and immediately the cow got up and seemed perfect. I was just amazed. The vet said it was milking fever, and we have a miracle drug to fix cows when they have it. 

WildWille says--I caught myself barking up the wrong tree the other day. What was I thinkin'! A guy from Europe, who is on the celebrity cam, says—"Highly materialistic individuals tend to report more anxiety, lower self-esteem, and less life satisfaction.” JoeBlow says--Fix me, I have all those symptoms!  The European guy also says—"Being materialistic isn’t about how much we earn or have or how we’re being perceived by others – it’s about how much we care about such things.” JoeBlow, do you really want to be fixed?  I wonder if you really do, JoeBlow. I think maybe you are just blowing smoke when you say--Fix me! Betty Assistance says--Sometimes we just have to grabbing at straws!

“You just can’t understand!” That is what our son told me that is one of the things I told him when he was a kid. I wonder if we do understand things differently when we mature. Do things look different when we mature. ItchieBitchie says—And age doesn’t necessarily make us more mature; I know folks who are old but not mature! Ouchy ouchy! I think I understand some stuff differently as I mature, I think, but I really don’t know for sure. We experienced recently a friend who we haven’t seen for some time and we both agreed that they have matured (i.e. and they’re not a spring chicken anymore either)! We think they are a much better person because of that (i.e. it appears they are finally becoming humble)! Bingo! Betty Assistance says--Sometimes we just have to wait it out!

Fix me please!  Well, Charle Brown, it ain’t what we say but how we live our lives (i.e. ultimately, actions reveal our real us). Your actions will fix you Charlie Brown. I recently was reminded that an acquaintance is not what they say; they talk a lot but don’t act the same as they talk. Ouchy ouchy! Actually, someone called them on it, and they didn’t like it. Their feelings got hurt! They didn’t realize that others saw through them. Like Abraham Lincoln said—You can fool some of people all the time and all the people some of the time but you can’t fool all the people all the time. MissPerfect says—Character has a lot to do if folks are believed; character puts credence into what we say! Ding ding ding!

A good doctor is a very good diagnostician. They have the careful eye of seeing the problem (i.e. the ability to see things). They gotta see things before they can fix us. If we don’t go to the doctor, we can’t be fixed. And it’s just amazing what the medical profession can fix now a days. It’s amazing! Many of you have been cut up, put together, have many replacement parts, take special medications; basically, many of you should of been dead years ago. Do we ever say thank you! Are these miracles or not or do we just think we deserve them?

It’s fixed! When our family was here in Yakima, we were cleaning up after a meal and Jeannie told the family that they had to wash the large dinner plates by hand as they are too large for the dishwasher. James told her that the upper rack is adjustable and can be moved up to make room for them. Two clicks and it was done! She said you mean I have been washing them by hand for the last 7 years and all it took was an easy adjustment to fix it! Betty Assistance says--Sometimes we need to let others help us!

We were walking in the park recently and we met another walker who Jeanne taught with maybe 30 years ago, but they have not seen each other all those years. Jeanne said, I hardly recognized you, you have lost a lot of weight. She told us her story that her husband became blind she thinks from a COVID shot and then he had a stomach ack and went to the hospital and died in a couple of hours. During this same time, she was diagnosed with a type of cancer and was to die in two months. Her pastors came to her house and prayed for her; she said I really didn’t believe it would do any good but at my next doctor’s appointment, the cancer was gone and that was 7 years ago. It was fixed. Betty Assistance says--Some times we have to take a shot in the dark!

Have a FUN day my friends unless you have other plans. (-:
