After this foot bowl week end all that remains is weather reports.
Perhaps, we will have many fresh news in the days to come.
I understand Ridgewood and Glen Rock schools closed for day.
Perhaps, some may not know it yet.
And for the clueless readers….garbage cans to the curb!
#3 in this snow? Forget it………..pick up when they can.
So glad they took advantage of the warmer days to get rid of all the Christmas trees on the curbs. NOT
….garbage cans to the curb!
‘cuz the girly worker-men are too dainty to walk in the snow and do their job.
#6 you are not too bright are you! Maybe you should try the job for a few weeks.
Well if the lazy residents made sure there was no ice under the snow maybe our workers wouldn’t slip and fall.
No mail today.
Whatever happened to “Neither, rain, sleet or snow…” ?
Thinking the same thing. No problem raising the cost of a stamp.
Didn’t see any ambitious kids going around asking to shovel and make some extra money while off on a school snow day? Too hard work? Or any program to help seniors clear their snow? We always help out our neighbors over the decades. What’s happened?
I got my mail up in the heights.
I did miss it one day last week.
I called the Post office and they said ‘no trucks made it in with mail’.
This, apparently was pure bullshit. The next day I queried my carrier who stated ‘they didn’t send the route out’. Period.
They can do whatever they want, and the service sucks as the price goes up. Time to start paying bills online so they get less first class revenue.
What happened? Simple.
New ‘entitled’ residents.
Kids don’t work. That’s a dirty word.
They get Iphones, credit cards, and BMW’s.
When it snows, they go snowboarding. Daddy’s Range Rover goes well in the snow.
