full mask is a life saver when you need it. Its function over vanity. You can get half the face or full face. You don't need to ski or own a snow blower.


I prefer the extreme cold over the extreme heat. With the cold, I can always wear more clothes. With the heat, I can't shed anymore.


To the person here who mentioned Hawaii, ever been there during the summer? Its unbearable....almost disgusting.

I once said cold over heat also, but as I've aged, I'm changing my mind.

It's also all the sickness going on. Who needs it? Certainly not this household... so over it.

Not my old gal. I went for an older(ish) truck this time around.
Less trouble. I’m not a fan of the new computer high tech crap.
This truck survived Sandy. My brand new(at the time) did not.
Sometimes less is more.

I always keep my gas fresh by buying non-expired chili.

What annoyed me was when I got home, the plows came through again and made it impossible for me to get into my driveway! I had to leave my car in street, get the shovel and chop away at the mound of snow and ice at the end of my driveway. I was frozen, my hands and feet were numb. Meanwhile I had everything all nice and cleared the night before by snow removal company. Has any one ever complained about this to the town? I live in Islip. I live on a corner so maybe I am out of luck?

I'm not trying to be snarky but what do you want them to do,lift their blade at every driveway? Dealing with the plow is part and parcel of winter.

I'm sick of the lack of "snow etiquette" being displayed during this recent storm.
Why is it that people dispose of the snow on their property by snow blowing it onto yours? How is that Okay? Not to mention those who don't abide by any of the town requests to move vehicles into your driveway so the plows can come through. Same folks hired a company to dig out their THREE encapsulated vehicles by having the snow blown into and across the street at our already cleared vehicle. RUDE.

Lol,
This is the single most pet peeve of mine during the cleanup.
I almost thought the plow guys took vicarious pleasure in pushing that hard rock to fill up my driveway lip.... hated it so much because some neighbors would be not that bad..... why me ?????

I "know" exactly what you mean.

Lubs, love ya, but...deal with it. Plow drivers have a route and a timeline they need to follow. Their concern is the roadway, not our driveway entrances unfortunately. They're not out to ********* and they're not out to be malicious.

Overcrowded burbs.
Too many people, tight quarters, and too much snow don’t mix.
That’s what you get.
Don’t even get me started on the drivers.
