Thanks for that vote of confidence. My back blinker light did actually go out. I went down to the dealership, walked in, told my mechanic guy (the one who always changes my oil and stuff with my car)... that something was wrong. He checked... the bulb was burned out. I said, "Oh... is there a certain size/type bulb I need to ask for down at the Auto Parts store?"
He had one, put it in for me... I said... "how much do I owe you?" He just shook my hand and sent me on my way. Which I thought was very nice of him.
Now... that could be because when I had my fender bender last year, he fixed the front end of my car. When he took me out to my car and I saw what an amazing job he did, I was just so overwhelmed, I impulsively gave him a giant hug and said, "Oh, thank you so much!" I mean, I paid for it, but... you know... it's my car for me and my kids... and I was just so relieved... he blushed. And sent me on my way.
Now, I don't know that that is rescuing... but it is mechanic loyalty. I know he'll fix it.
I now have a handy man who does all my 'fix it' jobs around my house. You know, stuff I don't really want to learn/do myself. My bf even bought me the biggest, thickest 'how to do it yourself' book from Lowes, just in case.
So... not really that kind of rescuing, I wouldn't say.
But I do get a lot of... "you need a man in your life," from men. I'm not sure what that's about. Maybe it's because I do DO it myself. I do see hope/potential in people from every walk of life. And I'll give the coat off my back to a stranger. Or a few bucks to a man walking through a parking lot. <--- That kind of stuff. (Drives my bf nuts). He once said to me... "if you are going to go out and take care of the world, do you mind if I come along just to keep you safe while you're doing it?"
I thought that was really funny. But I think he was serious.
