Today, I discovered that there is nothing wrong with our snowblower. I live in Alaska and for the last 10 years I have been shoveling our long steep driveway because I thought the snowblower was broken. Reality? My mother has "never been able to get it out of the shed." FML

In response to why didn't you buy/check/fix it yourself? Answer: I was saving for college, and know nothing about engines. I remembered that it had been broken before, and assumed she didn't have the money to have it fixed- as we were broke most of the time and could barely afford basic necessities.

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

I'm sorry, but why wouldn't you have checked if it worked yourself?

Awe sweetie, you shouldn't complain, I'm sure you're getting a great workout :) imagine people who don't use snowblowers or before they were invented. It's not that bad. Look at the positives hun! :)
