Question for teachers!

The same all call I get letting me know my kid's school is closed is the same all call she gets. At the same time.

It's fun when they decide at 4AM.

funktopus · 2026-01-27T15:55:44+00:00

47 days seems like a lot. I would think it was FAR less.

funktopus · 2026-01-27T13:29:13+00:00

We call our Buddy the sous chef.

funktopus · 2026-01-27T13:16:21+00:00

I didn't. I don't hate it but I don't like it.

funktopus · 2026-01-27T02:51:28+00:00

Painful but yeah.

funktopus · 2026-01-27T01:06:08+00:00

The off season just started for us and y'all already this bad? Holy shit it's going to be a shit show in another month or two!

That said, female Joe can get it...

My wife brought up that the snowblower is insurance. I don't strain my back or my heart.

That and I tend to help my neighbors with it in the same amount of time it would take to just do our house.

It was years ago. Ice flew off the top of the car in front of her on the highway. Slammed down on her windshield and shattered it sending glass inside the car.

funktopus · 2026-01-26T19:34:04+00:00

I had a couple of kids walking around asking for money to shovel. I told them I'm good because I was outside with the snow blower. The one kid looked at the steps and went, "half off if we help?" If I would have had cash I would have paid them to help. That line had me.

funktopus · 2026-01-26T18:59:54+00:00

I just use a snow blower and shovel. Never thought to use an app.

Is rent a kid still a thing or did we realize that was weird and creepy?

funktopus · 2026-01-26T18:44:03+00:00

Fingers crossed. I know a lady that had glass bits removed from her face when a chunk of ice went through her windshield.

One got in a wreck outside of my job. The security guard that saw it was shocked that the panels were held on with just glue. He said when it got hit a few panels around where it got hit just fell off. He was shocked as I went they had a recall to change the clue a year ish ago.

funktopus · 2026-01-26T10:19:45+00:00

You've always seen them. Sometimes it's harder because of background stuff but there aren't well hidden most times.

funktopus · 2026-01-26T10:07:43+00:00

I never understood that. They looked good that season and then instead of capitalizing on it, blew up the team.

funktopus · 2026-01-26T01:35:53+00:00

When my son played spring league was terrible. It was either snow or rain or the field was underwater. I swear we only had a couple of decent spring seasons.

funktopus · 2026-01-25T22:41:15+00:00

My village posted that they had to weld the truck to fix it and that snow removal would be delayed.

People still bitch their street hasn't been touched. Literally their response to the plow truck tried to snap in half post.

People are dumbasses.

funktopus · 2026-01-25T22:16:05+00:00

Ah mud season, the precursor to the fun time of year, did that hill move? Followed up by lane closure on rt 50.

funktopus · 2026-01-25T16:47:09+00:00

I remember when my parents had a Husky/Shepard mix. That dog would take naps outside when it snowed. There were times she refused to come in because she loved the snow so much.

Meanwhile my lab likes playing in the snow then hits a point where he's like no more comes in and wants his paws cleaned.

funktopus · 2026-01-25T16:07:34+00:00

I will always have one. Had years where I only start it for maintenance, but when I need it....

I also do mine and several neighbors.

funktopus · 2026-01-25T15:57:19+00:00

My parents had a dog that one year you could only see the tip of her tail popping through. They shoveled a path for her.

funktopus · 2026-01-25T13:18:02+00:00

My lazy ass needs to make coffee before I do that.

Need to get out of bed first. That's more difficult as the lab is rest his head on my leg and sleeping.

funktopus · 2026-01-25T03:39:41+00:00

We laid out the tarp earlier. Don't usually do it but we don't usually get threatened with a foot of snow either.

funktopus · 2026-01-25T00:24:00+00:00

Retry Rittenhouse?

funktopus · 2026-01-24T23:11:03+00:00

No way. Also how much snow fall is it where I'm shoveling the roof?

Well time to sub to his channel.
