Snow Shoveling Classes

Kachina624 — Wed, 02 Feb 2022 05:01:52 GMT

This was on our Next Door app. It may not be original but I thought it was a cute ploy to get your shoveling done.

FREE SNOW SHOVELING CLASS: This Sunday, Feb 6th, I will be holding a FREE snow shoveling class at my place. Come and join the class and learn about the proper ways to shovel!
Reviewed techniques will include the scoop and throw method, the down and push method (AKA the plow technique) as well as the upside down scraping technique.
Don't miss out on this amazing opportunity to enhance your snow lifting techniques without throwing your back out! I will provide the sidewalks to ensure your training is conducted in the most life-like situation. I only ask that you bring your own shovel.
PM me for additional details and times. Spots are limited and handled on a first come first served basis. Hurry, don't delay

@Kachina624 They forgot "ICE CHIPPING"....(on your front steps). And "how to shovel a driveway that's on an INCLINE".

I am a survivor of scrapes, bruises, etc. ALCOHOL HELPS when you get thru. (not the "rubbing" kind). di

@Kachina624

Don't underestimate the gullibility of some when they read this offer. One only need look at all the ridiculous scams people fall for nowadays.

I mean, everyone in a 4 season climate should learn the best techniques for manually shoveling snow. Do it wrong and you may suffer from back pain the rest of your life. Why risk it?

I mean, it is free!

If he's very lucky, a few people will show up to help him clean up. Good ploy.

@hckynutjohn John, I think it was meant to be a joke. Anyone but a total dummie could see it was tongue-in-cheek.

My uncle was stupid enough to come home from hospital and got out (in Ind.) and shoveled snow from the walks and dropped dead from heart attack.

@hckynutjohn You made me giggle. Whatever else happens, never give up being humorous when it's called for.

I have a new neighbor who just moved into my culdesac last week. He was out shoveling the walks for for several of my other neighbors and mine, too! Wow!I haven't seen an act of kindness like that in a long time. Bless his heart.

@SilleeMee Well, he's a keeper, for sure. Such acts of kindness are fewer and farther between these days. I'd bake something for him.
