Everybody knows that today, we’re living in a throwaway society. The proper fixit for broken is receptacle #junk! “Not me, I’ll challenge that theory, you just watch me sweep up the salvage on one ‘meant to be a throwaway’ and be a standout in the face of our society!”
Our old VCR suddenly developed an internal fondness for tapes that were within it’s grasp and wouldn’t ungrasp them, even when ‘eject’ was activated. So, I called our friendly repair service and found support positive bolstering my determination to beat the throwaway mindset. Sure enough, two days and $39.00 later I was proudly ready to stack my freshly refurbished, like new, VCR back between the DVD player and the record player where it would once again feel at home. Carefully refurbishing it’s original space with one hand and gently sliding it home with the other, the VCR slipped out of my hand, rode the gravity train to the floor and shattered.
Yup, you guessed it! Anyone paying attention could have watched me standout and sweep up the salvage on one ‘meant to be a throwaway’ my face blending right back into our society!”
Meanwhile, I’ll keep coaxing my treadmill powered scooter uphill.
