My leukemia's back.

Good morning, Team Rachel. If possible get outside and enjoy your day - winter is on it's way.

:th You mean all of the snow and ice isn't winter? :eek: Just how much worse will it get??? :he

(don't answer, I know, I know :hit )

I believe @Alaskan is delusional, must be a frozen mind.

yes....yes I am

Nobody mentioned Widow Maker snow - the heavy, heavy wet snow. My mom always used to carry on that my father would have a heart attack shoveling snow. So we'd lose the house and have no where to live. My siblings ignored this. I took it to heart.
I have shoveled snow since I was young, to keep my father alive and a roof over our heads.

My fathers been gone several years BUT, I still shovel the snow. There are no sidewalks here. But my brother comes over on the weekend. I have to shovel a long driveway so that he doesn't get stuck in the snow. I also have to shovel out my end of the street because the village thinks there is NO ONE worth bothering with in the last house (me) .Some years they push all the street snow in front of MY mailbox.

I complained one year, telling those at village hall, I was a senior citizen and the plow driver not only buried my mailbox but also anyway to get into the driveway. The street ends a few feet UP the driveway. I get tired of repeating this to them. Forty eight years of doing my end of the street because the guy in a huge truck with plow is too lazy to go to the end . Adjacent to the driveway on the west side, is an empty, easement - where snow can easily be pushed and piled up.

One year they said they would send a driver 'right out' to clear the mailbox & bottom of driveway. By the time they showed up late that day, I had it clear and the street up to my next neighbor. Also cleared out paths to the mailbox for 3 of the neighbors. Once I get going, it's hard to stop.

Because I do such a great job I am rewarded by people letting their dogs poop all over the driveway. :mad::smackI have not had a dog since 1989.

:bow :bow :bow You are a shovel master!
 
Hi Cynthia...long time, no see!
Haven't been on much, check a few threads here and there. Too many owies going on after my fall. Going in for an MRI on my shoulder tomorrow. Didn't even know they did that. At least my knee is better, just tender on the very top. My fracture in my hand must be better, feels better. ☺

Take care of yourself, hope things start looking up soon!

So Sorry!

We do not do tumbles so well when we get older
 
Shivering can burn around 100 calories in 15 minutes. The muscles secrete a hormone called irisin that stimulates heat production from white and brown fat cells stored in the body. Thus, when you shiver, not only do your muscles burn calories, using glycogen stores, but also your fat stores burn calories.
Well shiver me timbers......I did not know that.
;)
 
Don't you get different kinds of snow?

:confused:

there are lots of kinds. Snow can be like granulated sugar, or powdered sugar, or sticky stuff that squeaks when you squish it......



ooooooh! We never get hard wood to burn...only soft wood.... :drool



thanks



:lau so true
Here we don't burn soft wood..... Only dry hardwood..... Burns do much longer and better....l cleaner too.
But I imagine you there you don't have as much hardwood.....
 
I just spent two days without power..... We got hot with 70mph winds...... It was pretty bad for about 24 hours.
Lucky I had a big generator...(actually I have 4 of them) .
So we rode it out watching TV.
Snowed like the Dickens last night... Wet heavy stuff. But only about an inch.
But knocked my satellite internet out.....
