This.

DO NIT WALK/COMPACT YOUR REGULAR PATHS BEFORE SHOVELLING! SHOVEL THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

If you have compacted snow you will have to stab it top down with a round end steel shovel crcking apart 10cm(4") sections the whole way.

Spent the better part of last winter fixing the mistake i made in my first week of snow. (125m long path).

If you have wood oven heating then keep your wood stock close to home. My shed is 30m away and it gets real old hauling across every few days. I also use a plastic bin to carry it now. A lot easier than a wheelbarrow as you can walk right into your house and to your inside wood shelf.

Boot chains are really great, not the spikes, chains. Especially if you have a dog that gets excited and pulls.

If you have a long driveway consider a plowing service, your local farmer will probably do it cheaper(than you think) than a commercial service if you're rural.

Stock up on food/water.

Otherwise there's not much to it.

Freezing cold is +3C/-6C, then -18C and below. The -6C/-18C range is actually very comfortable.

Enjoying a "career". It seems once my financial survival is tied to something in it becomes an obligation instead of a novelty.

I mean, it's the community that keeps people around. The rules and dogma push people who aren't being served well by the community out.

So in group this is natural to say. But external, directed at religious peoples, it's not going to do the work of bringing them into your community. It's not welcoming and it serves to push people to build walls rather than promote a change in thinking.

So i think you're right in the context of being in community with a believer, but the comment wasn't about that to begin with.

Alternatively, it's hard to see how much religion is pushed until you're outside of it. It's like the opposite of getting a new (to you) car or phone. When you are, all of a sudden you realize how saturated everything is with it. It's like living off the end of the runway of an international hub airport, there's no rest.

More or less but person didn't have gender because that wasn't relevant to the subject which was the rolling ball. Ball also bounced a few times when hitting the floor.

It's hell. But at least you can dial boot the damn thing.

This reads as ar anxious attachment and underdeveloped boundaries.

Your needs and wants are valid OP. You deserve autonomy in your own life.

Your friend, intentionally or not, seems to be manipulating you and taking advantage, and you seem to be enabling that.

You should discuss having a partner with them, and what that would look like. They should work with you to promote your needs and wants and fulfillment. That's what friends do.
