Help Wanted

Sorry to hear of the severe snow fall you will be having. Unfortunately I am way too far away to go over and help. I have heard about people, exertion and heart failures, especially if they are high risks of heart conditions. So I will be in my cozy living room wishing you all the best. LOL...

hi pikey oh my gosh I thought when I read that first sentence about shoveling snow as exercise oh pikey dont do that,you will get a heart attack,so was relieved to hear you say what you followed up withl I grew up in south Dakota and saw older men collapse so know its not wise as thats a lot of exertion indeed. I would offet to help but I have only one problem I am across the pond from you besides I walk with a quad cane so cannot see me shoveling snow with my left arm that incidentally does not lift up more than half way whild holding onto my quad cane with the right hand.lol. but the thought is there. hope you do get some able bdied person or people to come shovel you out, it is raining here, just pouring and grey and gloomy and chilly too;good day to be inside by a warm fire.

You know, I paid a young man to shovel once last winter, the rest of the time it just sat there and melted, as hubby tends to hurt his back and I had foot surgery and was not supposed to be out doing it. I know that they say that shoveling snow causes a lot of heart trouble.

you are just a young pup of 52... well, then I guess 57 means I'm out of the queue... I'll stand with you, but I'll have hot tea or chocolate instead.

Californians don't DO snow. But I'll be happy to brew the coffee for you!

I am pretty good at shovelling, but I have not shovelled snow for over 12 years, so you may just have to show ME how it is done. If you pay for my travel expenses, I will gladly come and shovel your snow for you.

Well, I'd happily shovel your snow for you..............as long as I could shovel it into piles and play in it and make snow creatures............I think I'd need to get there by air though, as obviously travel by rail or road is out of the question when there's snow. ;)

Best not to clear the snow. Apparently, if you leave it and someone slips on your drive it's an 'act of god', if you clear the drive and someone slips, you can be sued. That's my excuse for leaving it anyway. Housework is supposed to be good exercise, especially if,like me,you forget to take the stuff you need for cleaning upstairs and spend time running up and down stairs to get it. Take care. Hugs to you.

I will if I can make snowpeople in your drive :)

If I were you Mr Pike, I'd proclaim as loudly and as often as possible that you're the proud owner of 10" and leave it at that. My goodness, consider the possibilities man!

this is a good remainder. I am 35 this year, hubby is 10 yrs older. I will start helping him shoveling snow and pouring salt from now on. I used to let him do that alone but I think it's time I help, after all if he can't do it anymore it will have to be myself.

You buy my ticket and I'll come over and shovel your snow! Seriously, I could not do it. I'll be seeing a cardiologist soon for my abnormal EKG and was told not to shovel snow. Wouldn't you know, it snowed here and I didn't know what I was going to do then my neighbor brought his snowblower and did his house, mine and our other neighbor's walks! Have you thought of getting a snowblower? Some people call it a snow thrower. You just walk behind it and get some exercise while it does all the work! They're a bit pricey but they last for ten years or more and you won't strain your heart. Stay warm!

Hi P1key, Yes, you have to take it easy and look after yourslef, I would come and clear it for you but you live too far and I'm not fit to shovel either as I am a bit older then you, thought of send Mal but he is too lazy to do his own drvie let alone anyone elses, lol! you just rest and no exertions, ok? hugs. Tamara

Would help but Im stuck sorting out my own snow lol! And I would ask people on my street but they are too lazy to sort out their own snow! Although I am tempted to offer to do it as nobody offered me a cup of coffee when I cleared mine!

Well I would have offered but I am 6 Days late so do you still need the Help I mean I am 49 so what did it say about Women?

Ok I will do it but I am very expensive. I will require the usual pay you offer and I want some coffee, maybe some cakes.... and every half hour I would like to come in and warm up.

Oh dear, I'm a bit late responding. I s'pose all the hard work is done by now. Gee Pikey, sorry about that mate. Hope you are recovering well. Thanks for the Chrissy card too. xxxx

We get 1-2 inches every 2-5 years. No one shovels it. It's play time. The whole town has a ball. No school for the kids. I'll make a snow ball. I know how. Will that help?

Sorry, I don't do snow. That's one reason I live in Florida. It has been cold here too, but we don't get snow. By the way, I'm 62 and had a stroke last year, so shoveling snow isn't for me. Hope you got thrugh it okay.
