I wish there was something I could do for you.
Having spent most of my life in snow country I know how bad it can be. I swear clearing snow after a bad storm (8 feet in 2 days) was one of the things that made my dad go downhill and brought on an early death.
Get good revenge - as much as you possibly can.

You know just how bad you look at this point - right ? B/c all you can think to post is some mealy spiteful snark about global warming.
I think we've seen your true measure, dude. And calling you a midget-mind would be generous.

Aww Frem. Sorry to hear this, man. At least that cop came down on your side (who woulda thought), and you got a good doc.
Can't believe you tore your stump to the bone. God, I feel for you.
Listen, I don't know if this will help or not. But homeopaths and some regular MDs swear by a homeopathic remedy called Arnica Montana. If you can find some at your local health food store, email me privately, and I'll tell you how to take it. Arnica is great for physical trauma (of the type you just described). I was in a car accident last Oct and had to get 8 stitches on my tongue cause I bit the hell out of it upon impact. Took Arnica, nothing happened. Then made it stronger, took it again, and damn, the pain disappeared, for a while at least. When it came back, I just took another dose.
Not trying to push anything on ya. Just sayin, if the pain is unbearable, and you feel like tryin something...
Here is one from RWED.

I'll live, just won't like it for a while.
Me and the neighbor don't talk, not exactly, I mentioned I did not know his name when we were both putting the trash out one night, and I wasn't gonna ask cause I liked it that way...
He said him too, and it's nice to have real privacy for once, cause apartment dwelling and being under someone elses rules sucks ass.
"Ain't that the truth..."
"Fuckin A right..."
And that was that, I think the only other actual exchange of conversation was when he couldn't get his lawnmower started one afternoon, I just banged once on the privacy fence and said "I can fix that."... "yeah ? ok." and he pushed it out the gate, I swapped in a new airfilter and plug, and kicked it back over.. "Thanks."
(Started on the first yank, too)
We don't talk, by choice, but our presence, our "vibes" for lack of a better word, are very similar.. during local elections, whilst I publicly demolish campaign signs placed in my yard, he just yanks em up and throws em out into the street.
So no, we don't talk, but we're good neighbors and friendly enough if just left alone.

CTS, thanks for the headsup, but I think I mighta beat you to it...
I've got a warmed leopardsbane poultice on the torn muscles, which I do believe is the same thing you're talking of here, and the knee seems ok, just shaky.
A lot of my beliefs cross over with pagan traditions, and thus I know a great deal of herbal medicine, I just don't let on about it cause it's annoying to get endlessly flamed by folks mistaking my distaste for the exploitations and abuses of modern medicine as condemning it entire.

EDIT: And according to the Fremgirl I am a brick headed, mule stubborn, iron willed jackass who shoulda just let them cite me instead of being a tempermental, suicidal moron about it and I will post these facts or never get laid again.

City employees like that make me think longingly of the wood chipper in Fargo.

Quote:Actually, this got me doing a fair bit of reading. The details vary hugely from locality to locality. Some areas, you don't have to clear your walks. Some places give you 10 hours to get it done, others 24. Some places start the clock when the storm ends, some start it when it starts (ie: if you have continuous snow for a week, you better get out there once a day).

City fines old lady for not shovelling twice.

What a buncha assholes - she shoulda sent someone like *me* after her city council.
Specially since the city plowtruck blasted that crap back onto a walk she'd already shoveled.
One of the other locals from that town, after I left it, is trying a new variation of stickin it to em, he's hiring it out and then gonna discount it from his property taxes... we'll see how that goes.

*EDIT: On re-reading this thread from way back when, it's almost prophetic considering the direction things took from there, hell, I'm surprised they *haven't* put out a contract on my head, all things considered.

An argument against the city. But even here, the roads, they'll plow a nice solid snowbank at the end of your driveway, and pack it down nice and solid. It takes hours to get through that. My mom can't do it, if no one does it for her, she can't get out. 6 foot block of ice at the end of the driveway. It would only take a min., not even for them to stop and plow that out, but nope.
