WLEM AM

Where time is just one damn thing after another.


When I was younger, so much younger than today, I never needed anybody's help in any way. -The Beatles 

On the list of health tips Haz posted recently, one of the recommendations was to ask for help when you need it. Do you find it hard to ask for help?

(1) "Good Riddance" is another one of those songs that makes me wince when I hear it played at weddings like it's some kind of tender love song.

(2) And just by coincidence, I was listening to ¡Uno! last night while working out in the basement. It's pretty crappy.

It helps to remind myself that there are 14 year olds out there who hear something like that for the first time and find it thrilling, literally.

(3) There are a lot of good things about getting older, but developing the ability to quickly identify the formulaic nature of things isn't one of them.

(4) Our word-of-the-day is "jaded."

Asking for help is usually not a good idea.

Better to find the resources to do it yourself.

Would someone please come over here and clean this damned house?

What's "help"?

Bat, agreed, it's not the ideal wedding song, but it's great otherwise, the wistful passage and the vagaries of time.

"Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test and don't ask why
It's not a question but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

So take the photographs and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life."

Shout, in the context of Haz's posted health tip list, I'd say it means if you are psychologically overwhelmed by life and circumstance, don't be too proud to ask for help.
