As soon as I read Timmothy's comic strip this song came to mind. I couldn't remember who performed it so I took a look on YouTube and I saw the version I remember by The Guess Who but then I also saw this, the very original and upon listening to it I see The Guess Who totally "pirated" it off not...

There are many great places to camp throughout North Dakota but my family and I particularly like one site because it's close to home and on a lake that is excellent for swimming, fishing, and all activities related to camping. The site is on Lake Audubon, a man made lake created along with Lake ...

Don't we all, like Joe, love having minty fresh breath. I don't know about orange juice but I know I lose that minty fresh feeling with my first cup of coffee. Being I love coffee what is a salesperson to do? With a tiny bit of research I found an article posted on The Mayo Clinic's website. If y...

Or it could be Cyndi Lauper's voice.There are a few common reasons for a squeak in a home, they are:Door hinges: Easy to fix or just live with. Using a lubricant is cheap and easy but draws dirt and dust to the problem. Our front door squeaks loudly but we let it go as we certainly know when some...

It's been years but when I lived in Moorhead MN, sister city to Fargo ND, I remember a couple of storms where a snow drift was high enough to go over part of our split level home and the front door was completely buried. That was 50 years prior to Timmothy being born so I don't know where he came...

First I want to clarify that it is not snowing today and it did not snow yesterday when it was -25 degrees but it could have. I have seen many days this/that cold with snow. When that happens it is truly miserable if you go out to move the snow. Like Titus & Philemon I'd say lite the fireplace......

I know exactly how Titus feels. When I awoke this morning and put Baby out (my dog) it was a negative 25 degrees not counting the windchill. It's the kind of day where I'm thankful I have a warm home to live in. I'm thankful that I have a reliable furnace, and also that when we rebuilt our home a...

Having a remote starter on your car in the winter up North here is almost a must. I don't know about the "from two miles away" part of it as I want to see my car start from the window of my home when I start it.Almost a must applies to a lot of options a first time home owner would have on a list...

Some annoyances are easier to ignore than others. The snowblower that annoys Philemon wouldn't bother me but a lawn mower would. Of course lawn mowers are used at a time that my windows may be open. Also a snow blower has a deeper noise. As a comparison imagine a 90cc two cycle motorcycle compare...

I've observed that people of all ages forget where they put things. If I had a dollar for every time I heard "Mom, have you seen my", whatever this and whatever that.In today's world the number one item seems to be "where did I put my cell phone?" closely followed by "what was that password?". It...
