My house after 10 PM. She cool with being filmed or nah?

Most are self-serving crooks capable of lending you a hand "with that."

Townies will be Townies.

You haven't done a single thing out of pocket here, at all.

Found the trash guy, probably from Republic.

It takes more effort for them to toss 'em than to drop 'em. Regardless, it's hardly normal for people to come home and have to pick trash bins up out of their yard, or down the road, or wherever someone throws it - not normal at all.

Chris Hansen, is that you?

Found the Comcast employee.

I'd be cool with all of this if I didn't pay an excise tax. Anything less than an adequate job in this situation is criminal, but not on the workers, on the towns.

Think of the humidity, too. It'll only get worse. Our summers are already too nasty for me to enjoy, and I'm from the southwest.

My teenager doesn't go to school. I take her to a building 5 days a week to hang out with friends and deal with frustrated adults who realize their pittance isn't worth it.

It's my hope that my kids get to live a better life than to be my retirement plan. I hope they live wherever they want and can do everything they dream of, and then some.

I hope I never cause them to stop and think, what about mom and dad? This is mom and dad's responsibility.

What I can assure them I'd never do, is push off an issue that will affect them and have the audacity to say, "won't be a problem in my lifetime so, don't care, bring on the 60-degree NE Winter!"

How can you people do this? We are your kids, your grandkids, those neighbors you want help from, but still, you didn't care up front, and you still don't now that the proof is there. You just care that things are easier for you, better for you. That's being selfish, and it is what you're trying to tell the world it has become.

Anyway. Your neighbors, how well do you know them? What do they have going on in their lives? Do they hate the snow, too? They have a reason for what they do. Typically, it's not laziness, but something else. Maybe they don't want to feel indebted to anyone or tie themselves to the task because they know they can't honor the agreement, which is very responsible of them. It could be they are worried about legal or monetary issues if things go bad and break or worse, someone were to get hurt. You're asking them to make a commitment to digging you out and putting them on a potential hook if something were to go wrong. It may seem like a little, but it's a lot.

I had to pull up a decorative bench out of my yard so seniors from the assisted living community behind me would stop trespassing on their walks by my house. I would love to put a real bench and let them sit whenever and have a water cooler there, but I got sued bc someone said they got hurt in my yard.

A few years back, I watched childhood friend A step through a wood board on childhood friend B's, family's deck, and get a bruised leg. Friend A collected $30k from insurance and never skipped a beat.

There is a lot to consider in MA to be helpful. If I were in any other state I've lived, CO, AL, TX, I'd just help - it's a simpler choice.

I dislike this type of person. My fiancee's mother is 68 and forever complains about how cold it is and how much she hates the snow and can't drive at night in it, etc., etc., etc.

Fucking move already! (Or buy a snowblower) You're not a tree. You tell people this up here, and they look at you like you're mental. The people I'm telling have no ties to the welfare that would make living here a necessity - they just want to complain and do nothing about what they're complaining about.

Trickles down to the fucking kids too. I've got a job lined up in CO that would make it so my kid can go to college, or not, but at least have something when she turns 18 (now 13) to start with and my fiancee wouldn't have to work and stress about how her OF account is going and her not getting paid what she's due at her office job. But nope, we'd rather stay here and be poor than head towards a better life with more opportunity.

It's worse than you think. It never really snowed much where I'm from, so it wasn't a factor.

I grew up down South hearing, "it'll never happen in our lifetime, don't worry!" I never would have guessed my own parents were really just saying,"Not my circus, not my monkeys, " about their own kids and grandkids.

I'm 38, and my parents are Boomers.

When you don't have to compete, you don't have to be good. I blame Worcester for this, not Charter. If I had options, this issue wouldn't exist.
