Nauset Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Sure isn't the place I grew up in.When I was a kid,the neighborhoods were crawling shovels after a storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugeDinghy Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 I get kids asking me pretty much every storm. Problem usually is that they don't come until later when I am too far along doing it myself. We have a crapton of kids in my neighborhood though. I think every single house has kids.

HopHead Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 $10 doesn't go far anymore.....even for a 14 year-old. Back then we could buy a fat dime bag with it. * Diversity makes us stronger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw one kid hustling yesterday......... I looked out my front window yesterday and saw the lady across the street working on clearing off her car. (They usually have the landscapers dig them out) I grabbed my shovel and walked across the street and asked if she needed me to dig her out.... She said the landscaper crew was on their way.... I told her if they didn't get there give me a call and I would do it. the next time I looked out the window, her drive was done completely. kids can't compete with the speed and quality these guys were doing, not sure how much they charge.

Terry Mac Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 I blame the Jews. The village, which had stood for maybe 1,000 years, didn't know we were coming that day. If they had, they would have run. boB was at the eye of our rage. And through him, our Captain Ahab. He would set things right again. That day, we loved him.

fishnmagician Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Quote:Originally Posted by Sparky XBox has a hand in it too. maybe, but the influx of cheap labor has priced out a lot of work previously done by kids. how many "paper boys" do you see these days, we have some old guy in an Explorer delivering in our neighborhood. I saw the quality of job the crew did across the street. better and faster than any kid could do, I don't know how much more they charged.
