For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for February 07, 2021

now who left that wheeled toy there?

My understanding is that you don’t put salt on the ground while it’s snowing. You put that down before it snows, or after it’s done snowing just before the next snow.

Salt is very corrosive to concrete & will kill grass/vegetation on the side of sidewalks & should be used a little as possible. It can be dragged inside onto your floors by way of sticking to shoes/boots, inside your house, when you go in, making a real mess. Using sand is a bit better. Salt use around vehicles will cause a lot of pretty quick expensive rusting. I know, as I used to live in NY.

Can anyone see my comment or have I been banned & don’t know it?

Sorry, but OSHA, or whatever the Canadian equivalent is, can’t help you in your own house.

The struggle is real.

Which of the two left it there?

What a nice neighbour though. Obviously we see that he lives in the yellow clapboard house. Then he goes over to the neighbour’s red brick house and shovels their snow. Even shoveling and salting their steps. But oops now he doesn’t have enough time so he just spreads the salt over the top of the snow on his own driveway! Now that is unselfishness par excellence.

I hate irony. I also hate jacks and Lego’s. Not fond of dog bones either. (..does anyone play jacks or marbles any more?)

Milborough: The land where it snows constantly, but only accumulates about 4 inches (10.1 cm).

Have Gordon help. He is squatting on your property and busted Elly’s car, so make him work off the damages and earn his room and board!

It could have been worse. He could have stepped on a Lego brick.

What’s the chip, chip, chip all about?

Not me. Ida Know.

“Ain’t it!”

That’d been me, back in the day!

See you in the ER……

After a huge ice storm, I was sent out to spread decider on the walkways between buildings where I work. I was about halfway up the hill to. 2nd building when an individual from that building came out for a smoke. He fell, slipped downhill where he plowed into me, knocking me down. Normally not that big of a deal. However while at work we are required to wear safety glasses. Falling I smacked my face into the ground, cutting my eyebrow from the side shield. 6 hour wait for stitches at the hospital. My cut was minor compared to all the fractured wrists, ankles and legs.Incident report: Cut from safety glasses side shield from fall while spreading de-icer.

Ape Face left her toy out…

4 kids, same thing has happened to me. But what is IMVPO worse is stepping on a lego

This is exactly my house. I have a teen age boy, but I am the one clearing the snow. And I am always tripping and slipping over the dog toys and dog bones all over the floor. Complaining never helps.

Ooops April bad girl.

If you lived on a farm and walked where the cows have been, you learn where not to step
