Subject: I'm fixin to repair your wagon!
From: Barry Masha and family <barisil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
IN a nut shell, the difference, between FIX and REPAIR is: If you can't get
out of the nutshell, or a big mamma squirrel is headed your way, you're in a
FIX; Not in a REPAIR. But if you're doing pair work and all of a sudden all
the kids run to the window because a Ben-Gal Tiger is scarfing the vice
principal, then how do you FIX your lesson? Not by FIXing it, you pronoun;
you have to RE-PAIR the groups.
Moreover: An addict needs his FIX, whereas his circulatory and neurological
systems are beyond REPAIR.
Finally, when Country Joe McDonald sings:
And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for
don't ask me I don't give a damn, next stop is Viet Nam
And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates
ain't no time to wonder why, whoopee we're all gonna die
He 's certainly not singing the "Repairin' to Die Rag" is he.
Well, is he?
Oh my Gawd! all these words are coming out blue!
Can someone tell me how to FIX OR REPAIR this bazzoottei computer cause all the
words are suddingly in blue highlight?
Do you see this blue stuff or is it just me?

HI fellow Etniers,
Someone asked me if there was a difference between "repair" and "fix".
Any clarifications will be welcomed!
