That's a shame, and it's scary! I stayed in ALL day today out of the storm that hit my area and it's still horrifically windy. My daughter wanted to go outside, but I wasn't about to do that and freeze my tookus off, that's for sure. I agree, be careful! I’m sorry to hear about your friend. That’s a shame, and it’s scary!

I agree, be careful!

My heart wasn't hurting, but the muscles in my chest began to constrict, and I because quite un nerved, and said to myself, "this is how people have heart attacks" when shoveling snow. Before the concept was just they got tired of the heart gave out, but I didn't really understand the exertion until that time and, of course, I've been careful ever since. Even though I consider myself to be in good shape, I don't consider myself to be in good enough shape upper body wise to do excessive snow shoveling, but it *is* more work than it "appears" to be. I am sorry for the loss of your friend. It seems pointless to lose a friend over something so seemingly mundane and shoveling snow, but the snow beast is more insidious then we realize. I hope your message is heard -- and mine, for that matter.
