In the States, it is traditional to pay neighborhood kids to shovel snow, mow lawns and such.

As for me, I just have a cold that I keep under control with some C-vitamin and my Iron Maiden scarf. Typycal winter, what can I say... We are getting to used to having no snow, just a lot of cold and rain.

You pay kids to clear the snow?!?! I cleared snow every winter since I can remember, and never got a cent for it... Your kids, or just from the neighbourhood?

Strat, in my neighborhood, especially with Christmas right around the corner, kids with shovels are aplenty. I have these twins that come by and ask for $6, I give 'em $10 and they shovel all the way to the garage and into the alley. It works out really well.

Stay warm my friend and I hope this isn't what your entire winter is like!!

It's 19F, the warmest at this hour all week with 4 inches of fresh snow waiting to be shoveled!!
1 week 'til Christmas and I still have a lot of shopping to do. Nothing puts me in the spirit faster than wrapping gifts!!
Also, who here has played 'Rock Band' or 'Guitar Hero'?? Yep, 42 yrs. old and I played 'Rock Band' the other night. Yes, I was not in my usual state when this happened, and I totally sucked (played drums). My lowest score was the first song w/68% and a high of 88%, and that was on easy. We did try Painkiller on easy and I scored a 77%. My 2 friends and I had fun though.
ps...DF, I couldn't find a 'game' thread, so I posted this here lol

I think I'd like the hook method better...like how a fighter jet lands on an aircraft carrier lol both will work, though!! I wouldn't want to have a hook hanging off the back of by belt and fall down though, that might hurt a little!!
