    Culture of Mediocrity

    I respectively disagree with the idea of young people specializing in one sport. Having been involved in coaching for many years I never found that to be a benefit. At the end of the year, it's not unusual to see many athletes being All-State in more than one sport. Good athletes are good...

    Benelli Owners~

    Couldn't agree more. I shoot an old (emphasis on old) Browning Auto-5. The gun is close to 60 years old. Still shoots every time I pull the trigger. Have had a little work done over the years but I would think it is expected for the age. Firing pin and work on the bolt one time. Not bad. Benelli...

    Midlife crisis? Epiphany? Or am I insane?

    For me, the gratification of a job well done is not instant. You might not know for a period of time how much affect you had on a students life. It feels good when a former student let's you know how you made a difference in their life. The tricky part is finding what works for the many...

    Midlife crisis? Epiphany? Or am I insane?

    Only you will be able to decide whether the change was the right move for you. I can tell you that I retired from the teaching profession after 30+ years. Was every day great? Find a job where every day is great. I can assure you that at the end of my career I did enjoy the job. There is...

    Madonna should be in jail

    Can you imagine being her child and trying to remain proud of her or at least look up to her? If my mother would have acted like that I would have been embarrassed to no end. On the other end, what if Hilary would have won? Wonder how the men of the world would have been portrayed marching with...

    Muck Boot Alternative

    Don't have experience with Muck Boots but do question if your feet get cold in 1000 gram Danners, why would you consider 1000 gram Field and Streams. I understand why you want them soon but my advice is find the pair that fit well, are warm, and then make your purchase instead of settling for a...

    Time bill

    If the people living in MT time would be requesting this change it would make more sense to me. Why force on them a change they do not wish to make? I prefer DST as I like extra time in the evenings when weather is nice. Does it take some getting used to the time change twice a year. A little...

    Pork for deer sausage ?

    I'm not in the BisMan area but I do know that I prefer to spend a little more for good meaty butts. Some pork fat is good, too much does not make for good sausage. Trimming off the outside is easy, trimming the marbling is not.

    Ion auger

    Buying used is always "Buyer Beware" but it it runs what can go wrong? New blades perhaps, about $35-$40. Even replacing the battery and you are still less than a new one. Mine has reverse but not having it isn't a deal-breaker to me. Probably use reverse more in an enclosed house than portable...

    North Dakota Game and Fish Department Permanent Registration Number for Equipment

    Agree that I don't need to enter my SS# since I can log in. It's the "Having on file" part that I would prefer not be needed. Any other number is fine with me as long as it's an easy number to remember.

    North Dakota Game and Fish Department Permanent Registration Number for Equipment

    Could this be used in place of your SS# when applying for licenses? Like the idea and would like it better if number is used for all G&F business. Montana has or at least had a very simple number. Birthdate such as 01-23-1976-followed by another number dependent on how many people have the same...

    Gray television can go fuck themselves, don't give an inch dish!

    Who is demanding the increase? I've never heard. Does Dish want more to transmit or do the locals want to pay less. All I've heard is there is a disagreement. Perhaps there are ways I could watch something other than on my 50"+ TV or maybe not even have to pay for watching. Don't like to do...

    Need to get water pump replaced on outboard

    Are you sure about neutral? I've done a couple of Mercs and was always recommended to be in gear. I had a difficult time getting it back together on the one I had in neutral. Don't claim to be an expert but I would double check the neutral idea.

    Eating perch roe

    Tried them several years ago. Deep fried with a batter. Thought the texture was like eating a chicken nugget with a fish flavor. Did not think they were gross but for some reason never tried them again. Then again when I tried them there were several of us, drinking beer, telling stories and...

    Midcontinent

    Worked for me early this morning. Worked fine and haven't checked since then. Did have a problem with my email about a week ago. That was fixed as they reported. - - - Updated - - - Dumb me. I'm using Midcontinent now, just not at my house.

    DirtyMike Jr

    Yes, your life has changed. The good news is that "that's not a bad thing." Nothing more enjoyable than fatherhood. Perhaps being a grandpa is, but they are close. Enjoy every minute and I do think that the saying "the more the merrier" is true for children.

    Losing a dear friend

    Fully understand how you feel. What is ultimately your choice about a new dog don't forget this, "Every pet has brought you a huge amount of memories. Does the love of your dog overcome the grief you are feeling?" Only you and your wife can answer that question. Memories do serve a purpose.

    ND House Bill 1169

    I have really mixed feelings on this issue. I have a lot of friends and acquaintences that I would trust completely with them walking around with a concealed weapon. At the same time I also know a lot of people I would not trust them having the same privilege. My biggest problem is not knowing...
