Well, it gets the job done and it gives the kids a sense of accomplishment. They learn to work and earn money and be responsible. Does not sound all that "weird" to me! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by _strat_ from Wednesday, December 17, 2008 5:37:37 PM)

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

Well, all I can say is, turn up the heating... But, hey, it will get better. It cant keep snowing forever! Specialy not in a desert.
It appears that we lost Ron, so I might as well ask you. Whats this with paying kids to clear the snow? Is that like a tradition or something?

Like I said, I am not used to it. It is too cold for me, that's all.

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.

HA!!!!!!!!!!!! Very nice of you, Ron! Yeah strat, a little warming would be great. It is especially hard on me when it is cold because of the hardware in my back! I have been aching like crazy for days..more than usual. The medication isn't really helping. I have my recliner by the fireplace and I am trying to sit quietly.
