Do kids walk around with shovels after a good snowstorm to make money anymore?

[richmin3]

Was a great way to make money for me when i was young. Do you see it anymore?

I used to charge fifty cents. Made up business cards with the slogan have shovel will dig. One large driveway I got seventy-five cents and a Coke. Man was I happy. One old lady gave me a whole dollar to scrape ice off her driveway. LOL This back in the 60's

 

[schoolie]

Not supposed to snow in my area, beyond a flurry. And if you're not a pre-teen/teenager from the neighborhood and you come begging for money, you'll get a snowball to the schnoz.

I'm good then. I'm an aging senior citizen.

Well, they should walk around with shovels at BoT meetings.

 

[DingerzForDaze]

I guess trying to change change the subject and hurl insults is easier than actually responding to my post? So in return I stopped reading after the second sentence. I suggest you calm down and try again... Maybe on the test board?

Again, you made the exchange test board worthy. And you keep going. Stop. There was no subject changed.

I stopped being an aging senior after viewing fairgambit's hired help.

To clean up the BS or take home run swings and flat-iron the ba$tards on the side of the head.

Probably would work for me, too.

Right after his post, I had to go plow.....
Unfortunately, snow.

I think you need an appointment with the Russian sex coach, or vice versa.

Good night schoolie, I'm going to catch a few hrs of Netflix, turn in, get up @ 5:30 and travel to the hospital for a few tests.

I had one kid stop by. We agreed to $20 and I gave him $25 plus a coke and a bottle of water because he did a nice job... Wasn't back this last storm. My wife and I were out there yesterday..

 

[Nitwit97]

He's trying to encourage the next generation of liberals. You should get money for nothing. The government should plow our driveways... universal snow removal is a right. But if you like your snow plow, you can keep it.

That’s abuse of snowblower privilege.

You must be kidding.

Very sorry to hear....be careful, take steps in clearing snow in small increaments.

 

[katchthis]

No. But they are killers at the snow shovel Wii.

there are only two kinds of senior citizens- aging is better than the other thing

Again, you made the exchange test board worthy. And you keep going. Stop. There was no subject changed.

And you did it again. Just... Stop...

 

[DingerzForDaze]

And you did it again. Just... Stop...

You're not even trying. Here's $10.

 

[pandaczar12]

You're not even trying. Here's $10.

...And again.

I like how you keep projecting your behaviors on me. Do you think we won't notice?

how true. not in that category yet. I know a few who should be.

OK, OK. Here’s another $10. Just keep doing nothing.

Uh... thanks for another fake 10 internet bucks? You're a real internet high roller. I like the way you just keep doing the same stupid shit and then accuse me of doing nothing. Great strategy. Did your fake neighbors help you think of that?

What in the world ...!?!? Have you recently suffered a blow to the head? Have you fallen and you can't get up? Why would my neighbors be fake? LOL ... I see in one of your past crazed ramblings you were trying to claim that not all of my neighbors have snowblowers, or that even if they do, some aren't well enough to operate them. And you base this accusation on? Absolutely nothing. You have no knowledge of my neighborhood, but you know what I'm saying isn't true. Good times. I live in a development that's in a style popular around here - larger than a stand alone cul de sac, but isolated from the "main" roads to which there is access. We would take the kids out around "the town" on sleds when they were smaller, during/after storms, and we take the dog for walks now, and we often have our snow blowers out at the same time, so I see them out there, and hang out with others. Of the 20 or so houses closest to me in this development, I can confirm all but one definitely have snowblowers ... the exception is a family that just moved here late summer, and I didn't see them clear their driveway this past storm, so they may or may not own one. The old owners did. As for being capable of operating them - they all have school aged (from K-12) kids, except for 3 (1 had their youngest just start college, 1 had their youngest start college a couple years ago, and 1 is a middle-aged couple, who I don't think have children around, who are constantly going for walks and jogs). There's another section to the development which winds around to an area I don't frequent as much, so I can't confirm they all have snow blowers, but of the ones I'm familiar with, they're like us - they have school aged children and decent sized houses/driveways, so it's likely they own them.

I think the better question is in what kind of neighborhood do you live, where, apparently, a snow blower is a luxury item and there are many disabled individuals?

get a room

Now you've completely gone off the rails. So you didn't understand my previous post the first time, but upon re-reading you think you picked up on something that was written in plain English? Reading comprehension is clearly not a strength for you, and you obviously struggle with writing too. I barely made it through the 4th sentence of your ramblings. I suggest you calm down and try again... or not, which would be doing us all a favor. I'll even give you back the fake internet money ($20) you gave me, since that is apparently a thing in your world.

You’re boring, unintelligent and a troll. Those 3 things in combination are a death knell for your worth on a message board. I won’t be giving you any more handouts. The only thing you’ve “earned” is to be ignored.

I guess personal insults and running away are the easy way out, I can't say I'm surprised.

Irony... the new poster who posts like an escaped mental patient, calling me a troll. Run along child.

I used to do my neighbors with our small tractor growing up. A little shoveling for cleanup. I wasn't allowed to take money though. Many of our neighbors didnt have much money. So Dad paid me.

When I bought my house, I did my elderly neighbors driveway as much as I could. If I didn't she would try to herself at 90 years old. Or her daughter/son in law would do it. I never took money but I got paid in homemade baked goods and soup. She passed away a couple years ago. Her daughter runs a small bakery in her mom's house. I still do the driveway and she pays me in cookies.

My mom was in the late stages of ovarian cancer and my dad had serious orthopedic issues. I will forever be grateful to
their New Cumberland neighbors who shoveled and did errands. I lived a half hour away and have my own ortho issues so it was a relief to have neighbors come to their aid.

Have not had anyone knock at my door in 30+ years, but while attending UP campus back in the 60s we had shovelling brigades in some of the dorms. There were no snowblowers, gator 4 wheelers, bobcats, etc.
