Right now I have 5 of them in my garage. I haven't a clue why we have that many right next to each other. I want them GONE.....I can't stand them and hate looking at them.
Can anyone guess what I am talking about?!?

Size???
I am going to just guess some. Trash cans? Yard bags? Bags of fert.? Shovels?

5 refrigerators?

The bodies of 5 neighbors who crossed you one too many times?

5 phone books from different companies and you never use any of them?

5 swimming pool cleaning poles?

5 cars that have high insurance premiums?

5 spider webs? We all know how you feel about spiders.

5 sets of cookware that were given to you as gifts?

It can't be boxes of paperwork from your job at school because you would have more than 5.

5 surfboards?

5 crates of Vienna sausage?

Ex spouses?
(or I like the 5 neighbor's bodies, still tryin listed above?)

five pairs of old gardening shoes????

You silly girls! Haha

Just like in my garage...5 huge boxes of garden pots!??

Mice? Squirrels? Stray Cats?
Sparrows?

Garden Shoes/Boots?
Wait~~~unmatched pairs of garden gloves? :>)

I like the idea of the 5 neighbor bodies, too. Let's see...Wavy can't stand them & hates looking at them. Muddy has great ideas...

Tires? But, who really can't stand tires?

I give up...I know it'll be something simple & we'll all groan. LOL

Dabney Walkers?

Hahaa I think Nettie wins! ****

Wow, what good guesses, pat yourselves on the back!!! Conrad guessed, but I don't think she was referring to the same type I was.
The answer was SNOW SHOVELS!!!!
still trying: you get an A+ for effort, very funny! Nettie gets an A++!!! That was the best answer yet.
Maybe I can shovel Dabney onto another planet, like Mars perhaps? (with my trusty snow shovels!)
ALAS, SPRING ARRIVES IN 20 days.
My condolences to those in the midwest getting more of that nasty white stuff. Hope it melts soon! (is 'condolences' a proper word to use in this sentence?) (I'm a grammar freak....)

Yes, I always keep an extra good snow shovel, in case one breaks (I have 3, rather than your 5). There are always areas that need it, regardless of the snow blower.

We went into RMNP today and snow shoe-ed. Beautiful sunny weather and lots of white fluff that is so pretty and that I don't have to shovel!

I want a snow shovel to clean out the chicken coop!!!!

Yup, I'll betcha that's it!!!

Oh dang, it's snow shovels...I only have one.

What a hilarious post! Yep, Nettie Jay gets my vote for the best answer as well.

Alas girls, I don't have a single snow shovel

I left my snow shovel in Ill. but I've got several scoop shovels & LOTS of pitchforks!
I've even got a pine straw rake! ...but none of them are in our carport...no room there.

Well if you had a good quality garden shed, you could keep them in there.

You mean the Dabney Walkers, right?

Ok, that took me a second. I meant the shovels but those too. LOL!

Wait ~~ Bodies in the shed?

Excuse me for barging in with a stupid question..... what are Daphne Walkers?

When I look it up it shows a figure skater that died in the 40's.

LOL metwo.
Dabney Walker is the post name of a spammer on the boards. Lots of hype for sheds...with links to purchase. (I don't click on spammer links, so just a guess there)

Great post!!! Good guesses. I've only got one and had to use it this week!!!
Conrad, I'll bet it was beautiful in RMNP!!!!!
We were there last summer. What a shame so many of the trees have Beetle kill.
muddy don't we all have gloves with no mates???

Dabney Walkers & the William Haydens, too.

Thanks Metwo - I didn't know either. I though maybe Dabney was Johnny Walkers brother.

I though Johnny Walker was what we drank after reading Dabney Walker's posts.

I'm still chuckling!!!

There are so many of those spammers anymore I don't pay attention to the names. Thanks for telling me. Nice to know that is one gap in my education I don't need to worry about.

I think "the name" kind of sounds like they could be some ugly walking shoes sold in England.

No but I think they are good friends.

Wavy, I may need to borrow one of your shovels. We are supposed to get a dusting overnight tonight into tomorrow

ve

Aw heck, VE...just let it melt...a dusting. LOL

But mgt, I wanted to be a part of the snow shovel gang!

ve

Vera, Want me to send you some? Either snow or shovels works for me. Don't have five of them though......

I don't want any snow shovels...I've seen enough of them to last me the rest of my life.
But a gal on another board that is down fairly close to Orlando said their local radio guy said they might get some flurries tonight...WAY DOWN THERE!
Some of you will either know or remember her, Swampwander.
Wonder if zone9 is supposed to get any white stuff???
We aren't!

LOL! too funny!

Jan, go ahead and send me one.........it's snowing now.....better hurry up!

The snow is so fine that it's gonna take a whole lot of it for a very long time to even make a dusting.

Flurries in Orlando??? YIKES!

Oh how cute that sounds ~ a 'dusting' of snow! You better hurry up and grab your camera and take some pics before it sort of disappears.... I can't recall the weatherman ever predicting "a dusting of snow". I bet they close the schools! It's mighty dangerous to even chance DRIVING in dustings of snow.... You can never too safe me thinks. You're more than welcome to borrow one of the shovels if you do get snow that is predicted to stick around for at least 24 hrs. dearie!
Nettie ~ How did I get 5 shovels? Make that six! I found the 'baby' shovel still in the utility room. That is the shovel for the car trunk in case it starts snowing after you get to work, etc. and need to Dig yourself out of it. I just examined the other 5 in the garage. That is an excellent question Nettie! I haven't a clue where they all came from. There's this HUGE, very heavy navy blue shovel with a wood handle. Where did that come from? Then there's this pretty REDshovel. I don't remember seeing that one before! Then there's the 'state of the art' shovel that is supposed to "MAKE SNOW SHOVELING MUCH EASIER". It was bought a few yrs ago and it BROKE the very first year we got it (and of course Mr. Hubby didn't return it, he's a MAN!)
My guess is that DH bought a shovel when we first moved here. Then he started seeing newer, bigger, stronger, prettier shovels and just had to have them. So....he probably bought one, put it in the car and it ended up in the garage to await the next big snowfall. Most of them are soooo big and heavy I can't use them. I think they're better suited for a Sumo Wrestler than my DH! NOW, they have these NEW snow shovels with bent handles so you don't have to bend your body as much. It's a miracle, one of those didn't end up in the garage .............. YET!!!
I saw lots of spring buds poking up from the ground in people's yards - SPRING IS COMING, SPRING IS COMING!
(I loved this post, it was so funny, thanks for participating!!!) Aren't we a "hoot"?!?!?!

LOL....this entire thread! )))

Me too. Our snow shovels seem to propogate and hang out with the garden shovels.

Side note: I used my garden shovel from the pile of snow shovels to chip away at the ice a few weeks back? Does that qualify for gardening?

Wavy, doesn't sound like your DH has one of these that our neighbor has. The wheel is supposed to help lift the load, but it still looks like work!
