Pickles by Brian Crane for December 12, 2021

You needed to shovel the sidewalk anyway Earl. Getting a Christmas card from your chiropractor and hurting your back while doing it. Well that’s just luck of the Irish.

heck he could have just put on his boots and walked through the snow and gotten the damned card LOL

(Snort!) Gave me a nice chuckle.

When I was a kid, the dentist gave us a piece of hard sugar candy after each visit. My parents always gave him a hard time about drumming up more business…

His chiropractor understands marketing.

Earl needs an ergonomic shovel and learn how to shovel using his legs not his back.Makes a big difference.

Oxymoron.

It’s almost like a message from Heaven.

USPS has a site where you sign up and daily they email you a pic of what is coming in the mail. It has saved me a lot of long walks for nothing. I will really appreciate it when the snow comes.

I am so glad I don’t live where it snows!

Well Earl this should teach you to stay in shape ;-)

Who says that USPS doesn’t deliver on a timely basis?

when are they going to put in heated sidewalks for the winter in.

Oh, my aching back!

All my bills are paid on line so I get mostly junk.

The post office here is exasperating! One day they deliver @ 10:00 am and the next it’s after 6:00pm….I want to scream when I have something to mail and they don’t pick it up…sometimes if I have no incoming mail, they pass my house…and don’t get the outgoing mail….AAAAKKK

I asked the other day, but nobody replied. Where do they live?

I have that also. I like it!

And to think I’m going out to do some weeding in a while. . .

I have a small electric snow blower. Works well and hardly need a shovel. For larger storms, I have to use the gas one still. Thinking about getting a small battery operated one, great for small jobs.

thee irony… :\

In all seriousness, please don’t shovel. Killed my dad, who was supposedly in excellent health, at age 61.

oh the irony

Brian, thanks for my morning laugh…

Get a snowblower, ya knob.

Chiropractors Conference: Now before we adjourn does anyone have a suggestion how we can get more patients?

I’m sure there are good chiropractors out there but the only time I went to one, he changed a lower back pain into a upper back pain for only $40.

I read that there are a LOT of heart attacks happening when old people are shoveling snow. Where is that son-in-law? Or even the daughter? I think they live next door.

The Perverse Universe strikes again!

Good timing

Guess who’s shoveling NEXT time…!!!!

Time for your winter tuneup!

Yep. Too early for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

I get my mail once a week. It sits at the post office and whenever I am out, I can pick it up. I guess it depends on where you live that determines on how much fun it is to get your mail, whether you have the mail come to a mailbox by your door or in a mailbox by the road whereas the mail person doesn’t have to get out of their truck.

I was living in the Midwestern US. While retrieving the mail one snowy day my feet slipped out from under me and I landed flat on my back. While lying slightly dazed in the slush a beautiful thought struck me: the job I had could be done from anywhere. That was 25 years ago, and I have been enjoying a snow free life in Southern California ever since. (And before anyone starts spouting flames, I know that the option to relocate is not available to everyone, I was just in a lucky situation.)

Thanks, I sure did need that laugh/chuckle!

USPS Informed Delivery is so convenient.

Holy crap…my back!

Why is Nelson not shelving snow? Where I live at not had any snow, been mild temps for December, great walking weather for 3 fur babies.

Has Earl not explained to Nelson how much fun shoveling the walk is?

When I was shorter than the shovel my parents got me a child-sized snow shovel. Mom would send me out to clear the sidewalk. It was playing in the snow for me.
