At least, it was up to my knee, and the tape measure tells me that's 18". Fortunately, it was light and fluffy. As it is, I'm sore all over from shoveling ( Read more... )

So, I'm slightly weirded out that, six hours after the Snowpocalypse was expected to start a.) there's not a flake to be seen and b.) the projected snowfall totals just keep going up. So, um, apparently it hasn't changed track, just slowed down to dump even more on every place it passes ( Read more... )

Not the first snow. Even last weekend wasn't the first snow, though nobody seems to remember that. But the first school delay. What impact does a 2-hr delay even have when you're due in at 10?

Dear Patsfan ( Read more... )

Yes, on occasion, I do need to ask for your help with things. For the most part, I tend to take on a lot of the heavy lifting (literally), but sometimes I do need to ask for a hand. Thanks for helping in these situations.

Please do not take this as a sudden statement that I need help with everything. For example, when I asked for help opening ( Read more... )

I can even, to a point, take the "let me carry that for you ma'am" stuff, especially since my shoulder still hurts like hell. So, since the reason I have all this crap to haul around was to cover your shift if you couldn't come in, sure, help me get it out to the car ( Read more... )
