    Fargo Teachers and 630 behavioral incidents this year so far

    As I mentioned, Ive been teaching for quite awhile now and I hate to admit this but..if a little "physical" punishment was allowed in schools we would have very few issues. I don't mean beating snot out of a kid but, if you could spank or grab by arm and pull out of chair, maybe even give...

    Chest waders

    the wader debate kills me as well. I had one pair of neoprene's that lasted about 10 yrs. They finally blew and I have bought a pair at least every other year for last 10. Not sure which route to go. I'm not hard on them either. Just wader fish walleyes and duck hunt some. I guess I...

    Fargo Teachers and 630 behavioral incidents this year so far

    I should be president..I think I have a cure for all this garbage. Next year will be my 23rd year of teaching...I've seen it all I think. I even had conferences in jail with parents who requested them but couldn't get out...so I went in. Here's what I'd do if president (which will never...

    Predator proofing a chicken coop

    We don't use a lamp either. Chickens like other birds can stay warm very easy by puffing feathers and trapping heat. They then bunch up and keep each other warm when roosting. Like I said I just turned a 4x8 shack into coop. I put a heated dog bowl in there in winter for water. I also...

    Predator proofing a chicken coop

    I made an old permanent ice shack into a coop. Insulated it well, painted it up etc and my chickens did very well this winter. All I have is an older chain link dog kennel for the yard part. I attached it to the coop. I was planning on putting some wire around bottom 2 or so feet but have...

    Pitching Jigs - explain it like I’m five...

    I jig fish A LOT. I would have to agree with this. Through my own experimentation using mono is better than braid for jigging...in spring. I think it is because it is lighter therefore it sinks slower. Also being lighter the bait can flip around..JIG...better, more loosely, more realistic...

    Dog food ?

    I find it interesting that you guys who use chewy.com for delivery. All the dog foods I checked out locally are cheaper than chewy.

    Must feel real good

    One more point I'd add is that many youth coaches are great. But many are out for the win only. Winning is a goal in youth sports but not the focus. Focus should be development. We want to win and you want to teach them to be competitive but at young ages development of skill is the most...

    Must feel real good

    I have been teaching and coaching for over 22 yrs. All levels from little kids to Head Varsity coach. Times are changing a bit. There are far less multi-sport athletes than before. They can't play them all because one sport will take up 10 months. Also, we are seeing a big jump in some...

    I bet ND doesn't even win the challenge game but if they do and play Duke...They're going to see quick D like they've never seen. I bet it will be over at half.

    State Pen

    Prison/jail is a punishment for something done illegally. Period. Potential criminals need to fear prison. Many do not. I have several friends that work in law enforcement in different areas. I am told that many want to get arrested because prison is better than their daily lives. They get...

    Deer Rifle Recommendtions for 12-year-old daughter

    When my son started hunting deer I had him on a 22-250. That caliber with a quality bullet is a sound deer rifle. Again with a good bullet and properly placed shot deer can be killed cleanly at reasonable ranges. Not overly loud and minimal recoil. He killed several deer with this.

    Words of Wisdom

    One thing I learned years ago but didn't heed very well and, still srtuggle with but am getting better at is attitude. Wake up each morning and literally step out of bed and tell yourself "It's going to be a great day...I'm alive!" I find when I do this I feel a little better, less stress and...

    NFL News (Vikings)

    Im a vikes fan and would take Brown in a heartbeat but....not for much cash! He is 30 so his career window probably isn't that long. Never happen but if it worked out $$ wise to come to vikes they'd be foolish not too take for a couple years. Add a couple linemen and they may be dangerous...
