i agree. if i weren't 26 years older than you, i could fall for you too Lisa

even if you won't come nurse me back to good health!!

 

Howdy, all...

My snowplowing story: most of my family (aunts, uncles, cousins, and my parents) live in a small town close by, so usually when it snows, I bring a tractor in and clear their driveways for them. All told, there are 5 places, plus I tend to clear out in front of the city hall/fire station if someone else in town has'nt gotten it already. My dad had been the city clerk years back and had done that, and I just kept the tradition up.

Well, one time a few years back, after a good sized snow drop, my cousin's new neighbours decided that was'nt fair, because they had to shovel their driveway, so they went to the council and demanded that the city maintence department either plow ALL of the driveways in town or none of them. The council had no idea what they were talking about, since their "maintenance department" consisted of the semi-retired mayor who did some mechanic work on the city's ancient pick-up and kept the fire department's vehicles in running order, and the city clerk who kept the books and shoveled the sidewalk in front of city hall. And the town did'nt even plow the city streets at the time... they contracted with the county and had it done for them.

Not true, raged the neighbours... the city man had a big tractor and showed up every time it snowed to plow their next door neighbour's (my cousin) drive out, and then he went down the road to his neighbour's parent's house, then over to some other place where his neighbour's parents visited pretty frequently, which turned out to be my parent's place. They followed the "city man" and when the selected driveways were plowed out, he'd used the tractor to clear out the city hall and fire station entrances, and then had taken off into the country and parked the city's tractor in a barn! They were livid that the "city man" picked and chose just whose driveways he cleared out, and it was simply not fair to the rest of the townspeople. Something MUST be done about it, or there would be serious reprecussions!

In the end, the council got a good laugh at their expense, the early morning coffee drinkers at the cafe got a reason to give me some ribbing, and the neighbours apparently decided that small-town hospitality was'nt all it was cracked up to be & were gone by the time the spring thaw came.

 

Wait, what? Who said anything about falling? *gulp*

Serious repercussions? Which were? lol. Sounds pretty scary! Must be MORE complaining.

Hey, come to think of it, I was going to complain too. You haven't been coming by to plow MY driveway...CITY MAN!

SOME people. I have a neighbor with a truck with a nice plow on the front, and he goes and plows folk's driveways when it snows. I don't know him from Adam, and therefore, I don't "expect" him to plow mine either. I'm destined to heave snow around with a shovel, at least until I get a blade on the front of that quad..It falls on MY property, which means It's MY responsibility. What a notion.

 

Yeah I could probbably, Now that im thinking about it i think they are replacing the Fuel Pressure Regulator, it sounds right from my dads description. And I heard from him those slow idiots dont have the truck done yet.

 

DEAL!! I'm looking at a trip out to CO for some snowboarding and it might just work out that I'm in town for the Stock Show!! My buddy might be up for it... but probably not!! OH WELL!!

 

if it was me, i would put the snow in your driveway just to make sure you got a good workout shoveling it!!

 

I had the helicopter fly over, but you'd already shoveled yourself out by then. And for the record, when it comes to the subject of you and plowing, your driveway is not the first thing that comes to mind, really.

Calling me names, Lisa? Now you're just being a blue meanie...

 

 

i am having some issues with the E-machines desktop pc, but can not find the windows xp restore disc.
i do however have the windows xp restore disc for the gateway laptop.
ya think the laptop restore disc will work on the desktop, being as e-machines and gateway machines are made by the same compamy, just named differently??

 

a 9 year old ask his dad for a bicycle for Christmas


dad's says I have a $280k mortgage and I can't afford to buy you one.


they all go to bed that night.


next morning dad gets up goes out in the hallway his 9 year old is leaving with his suitcase, dad ask what are you doing?


9 year old says I walked by your room last night and I heard you and mom,


you said "I'm pulling out"




mom said "wait I'm coming too"



little boy says,




you're not sticking me with the mortgage

 

Gezz Ed. Id be packing my bags if I were the wife, if he's pullin out before she's even done....*LAME*

I'm going to ask Santa for a massage this year....noo...no foo foo spa massage, I just want someone to grind their freakin elbows into my trap muscles, I have a knot from hell there its really been buggin me lately. NO ONE can seems to have strong enough hands to satisfy. Ahh well.

2011 man, 2011....I have to go home Sunday, and I won't be able to make it back for quite a while, several months. But 2011, its a done deal.

Gee thanks I appreciate that. If a foot and a half of snow in a 200' long driveway isn't enough.

And I resent you thinking I'd actually trip someone! I am a woman, I don't have to touch anyone to hurt them. I just need a few poignant sentences to get the job done.

And..wow...and, wow.

wow. haha.

Fall for me? You must mean FALL in the way Tom explained. But in the event you meant the other fall, you are asking for trouble. I am a GIANT pain in the ***...and kinda proud of it too.

Yeah, that was my reaction too..

 

I highly doubt you are all that shocked by anything said here Lisa. That is a good thing in my book...

 

you are so full of puppy muffins they are coming out of your ears little lady!!

you are just like my daughter. you would trip me on purpose just to see me fall in the snow drift, then run away laughing.

 

tom,
get a hold of gateway and get the disc for your machine. call e-machines 20$ they will send you a disc for your pc. i have a e-machines w3400 pc. w/windows XP. you have to give them the serial# off of your PC and they will send you the disc for that PC. its a bundled disc. with all the drivers and whatnot. if you have a disc for your laptop it may work or it maynot.what i got out of e-machines is there all programmed different.
or talk to sean[sglaine] is pretty smart guy. i'll bet if you asked real nice he might help ya out or give some insight on your plite.

 

Very possible,I put XP pro from my HP laptop on an e-machine.They a pretty generic and ain't too picky
