6 to 10 inches of snow starting Monday into Tuesday, and the people around here won't help me shovel. I'm going to have a heart attack, you can bet on it.

Bob, 4 years ago you were a very positive person. What the heck happened?

Please, you are a great player... Overcome and adapt. What the heck is a little snow?

Four years ago people helped me shovel. Now we have the United Nations living in my cul-de-sac. Representatives from every country in the world where it DOESN'T snow and a few drunk rednecks who stand on their porch with a beer in their hands and don't know the phrase "Help ty neighbor."
I have an autistic son who suffers seizures. If he has one during the storm and I can't get him to the hospital he could die. In that case I'll drag his corpse out in the parking lot and put a sign on him in that reads "Thanks for helping me shovel" in Swahili, Chinese, Pakistani, Spanish, Vietnamese, Congolese, and buttfu*k English.....
A "little snow" means big problems when the neighborhood association sends a drunken fool with an inadequate plow and people don't have enough testosterone. It's time to MAN UP and get to work.
As far as me being positive again it'll happen when I see people WORKING again. NOTHING IN LIFE IS FREE.
If every able bodied person came out with a shovel or broom the entire area could be free of snow. Right next store to me lives two guys both over six feet six inches. One of them could easily end up being a seven footer (he's 16). They don't do SH*T to help me.

He can't get to the hospital at all if you die.

Buy a snowblower or a badass 4 x 4.
If you can't do that - just do what you 'can' do. Things get f-Ed up when you try to do what you 'can't' do.

Hope it's not too bad Bob when it finally gets there.
I made a 960 mile round trip Friday/Saturday.
Damn the airport, brought my woman home.
Was pretty in Kansas & Oklahoma with all the snow and all.
Just glad I don't have to deal with the driving issues.

I noticed while in Rifle Colorado most people have either a snow mobile or a tall 4WD vehicle on their property to deal with the snow / transportation issues.
And even though we rarely have deep snow four to six inches of sleet / freezing rain is not uncommon as is flooding.
We have no snow plows, hence the 4WD truck I own.
Being a nurse, nothing should deter me from going to work.

On a totally unrelated subject the vast expanses of wooded low mountain in the Indian Nations called to me like the Sirens song.
Park your car, pick up your rifle, and follow me into the forest.
Never to be seen again.

Hallelujah! They came TODAY with a Bobcat and cleared the rest of the spaces. I guess the home office took my threats seriously this time..

We lucked out here, too. Snowed all day yesterday, but didn't accumulate until night time, thne just an inch or snow of ehavy stuff. 25 miles north, in Manchester, where the Who played last night it did accumulate - about 6" for the day and the drive home was nasty - 35mph on the Interstate for the first 20 miles. Saw one 4wd car in the snow at the side ofthe road (they stopped before they got to the trees) who had passed us 10 minutes earlier.

Wish you were my neighbor. I would help with anything, anytime. My neighbors (tenants on one side) are always criminals. Living there means they've payed their debt. They return to their old habits like a dog returns to it's vomit. I still do for them. It is a trailer and not much of a standard of living. My current neighbors (a couple), fight all the time. You can here the loud arguments anytime, day or night. I went over there to give them a beautiful insulated bedspread, when they moved in. They accepted. She had bruises on her face. I did a background check. He has misdemeanors of domestic violence. Sometimes, there are those you just can't help.

That's funny :lol: Apparently not everyone understands that 4WD makes it easier to go . . . not to stop.
Caution ( and some common sense ) is required even still.
