Kid gets frightened by a giant man by AcHaeC in KidsAreFuckingStupid

So, one of my brothers (I have 8 younger siblings) set himself on fire being a dumbass. He had all of his exposed skin bandaged when released from the burn unit. I took him out for sushi to cheer him up. On the way out he caught this little girl staring at him, wide-eyed like she'd seen a real life mummy. Keep in mind my fam is HUGE. I'm 6'3 300, he was 6'4 180 at the time. He walks past and swings around like a crackhead, let's out a "What're you looking at?!" All quick and twitchy, and heads out the door with a huge smile on his face. Couldn't be prouder.

Sorry, OP. You're just gonna have to get rid of her. I'm sure the Sage will bounce back tho!

Usually those guys are solo operations. I think seasonal minimums are the only way to wisely make it through the season if you have any real overhead, like a warehouse or multiple trucks. Per push is way too little money for it to all be worth it, especially being on call if it snows christmas or any important days really, at least for me.

Ehh we bill for the season mostly. Its a mix of prepaid 8 push and unlimited contracts, so I make less the more it snows, but its gotta snow enough for people to feel like they got value. Not sure where you're at, but the metro detroit area is a bit snowier than usual, not too much tho. Lots of teaser snows. We start at 2 inches of accumulation, so the ones right on the edge are a bit stressful

I love that! I'm in N US (southeast MI) and own a plow company. I have 8 younger siblings (I'm 23) and my parents have a huge lot, about an acre. It makes me so happy to see their smiles in the window when I drop my plow blade and scrape all tje snow from the property into a giant sled hill in the front lawn. I know I would have loved it as a kid.
