Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I know I am a day late, but I just discovered this community.

I have two things.

First:

Like a lot of the US, this past weekend we got hit with an ice storm.

My wife and I went out to do some shoveling and a friend of mine’s kid who lives a few house down the street wanted to make some money.

She is about 14 so she came help us shovel.

I made her agree on a price, 20 bucks an hour. She worked so hard shoveling. She earned every penny and OMG it was so nice having her help. It was a hard shovel.

Second:

I am a big Lacrosse Fan. It is a Native American Sport that is very popular in the North East part of the US. My favorite team is the ranked #1 in the preseason polls.
