It’s not just the binge watching, Laura. He can avoid all sorts of things after throwing out his back. Writing, washing dishes, changing Nick, in other words responsibilities.
What am I saying. Adam does that without trowing out his back.
it’s the “don’t even THINK about it…” behavior.the thing here…does he even KNOWS HOW TO THINK?! EVERY TIMES I swear I feel like I am seeing ANOTHER VERSION OF MY FATHER!!!
Saw a comic once showing a bunch of guys dressed in parkas and holding snow shovels standing before St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. Peter was yelling, “How many times do I have to tell you middle-aged guys to buy a snow blower?!”
Lived in this house 31 years & it is on a 4 lane main road, not some small little hidden street – we have not had 1 person in all that time come to our house & ask if we want our snow shoveled.
When first in this house we had a one car straight driveway. We would park 1 car behind the other, clear behind rear car & between the 2 cars & be done as we both could get out.
Backing out of the drive got harder & harder (4 lane road remember) & we had put in a semi-circle drive, harder to clear. Both got 4 wheel/all wheel drive trucks & just drove over the snow, no clearing needed. Then we started getting deeper snow. Paid our gardener by the storm to clear the driveway. Husband quit his job & we needed a cheaper gardener and hired his former secretary’s BIL – he took an annual fee to clear snow and was great. But then he sold us to another gardener – he was fair. Then the first year that we had multiple 20 inch + storms – in some cases every other day for a week – we could not find the gardener. Through the former gardener checking around it was determined he had gone to his home country for the winter. Husband hired someone from Craig’s list who did half the job – with his wife and son, walked off with our snow shovel (he only had 2 and with 3 all 3 could work) and never was seen or heard from again. All companies that did snow clearing now say – commercial only – no residential.
Husband bought a new snow blower, but it is a light weight one as that is all he can manage to push. We had a snow storm that was well over 2 feet, news shows all said to clear as would be ice by morning and we had to clear it. Remember we are on a 4 lane road so we get 3 lanes of snow on our property from the plows – in more recent years the house to our left parks cars in the street so the plows do not start clearing the parking lane in front until halfway past house – so we also have to shovel the parking lane!

So he liked having a “thrown-out back” I take it.

Strange, most people opt out on heavy work by declaring of having a bad back!!

What! Have the kids “work”? Someone might call CPS on you.

Just slam a cup of my Nuclear Coffee Adam
With luck, the super power of the day will be something that gets that snow cleared in minutes and leaves the rest of the day for binge watching
Not that you won’t still be in pain, ever year that I get older it hurts more after I use super powers

“TEACH the kids?” When I was a kid it was, “There’s a shovel, there’s the walk, clear off the snow!”
