My problem is finding articles (primarily news articles) for subjects that aren't within the last few weeks or months.

Let's say there's a recent event about the Kennedy assassination. You want to read newspaper articles about it when it happened in 1963.

I haven't been able to find a way to do that.

Okay, I've put up walls, done drywall, done electrical runs and outlets, plumbing, etc.

At the same time, I have one friend in particular who doesn't know which end of a screwdriver to hold. Tightening the valve stem above? Guarantee that he'd either loosen it, or over tighten it.

ONLY do things that you feel…

My LEAST favorite chain to shop in is Best Buy. I've got 4 around me. They're all the same.

They'll have maybe 15 people, or more, on the store floor, typically talking to each other.

Want to check out? No one there, you have to go to customer service where they are doing returns and everything else.

If I can buy…

My wife and I are both 66. We live in a state that is in the top ten for property taxes. Right now we pay over $8,000.00/year for property taxes. Move one state to the east and the property taxes on the house of the same value would be $2,000.00/year.

I've tried Zillow a couple of times. I've found it useless. With the…

Unless volunteer work has something to offer a perspective employer, why would the employer care?

Let's say that you've got a company that overworks its employees and has them working 60 hours per week. They are certainly going to view volunteering as a negative.

Takeda is the only company that I know of that might view…

Wolf. Taste is an extremely individualized thing. If Mexican beans work for you, great. There are some issues outside there taste that are issues.

Just because a plant (vanilla) originated in a particular country, doesn't have any bearing on quality and taste. Look at the varieties of tomatoes.

". . . they are pretty…

Minimize?

I'm a recruiter. ELIMINATE any references to religion.

Some things I've seen - References to being a volunteer for a religious group. (Except for people just coming out of college, I question the value of people putting interests, etc. on their resumes. Do you really think that Kraft cares that you are a coach…

I work in the food ingredient industry. Sold flavors, including vanilla for about 15 years.

Vanilla. A couple of things. Do NOT use Mexican beans. They really are garbage. You want bourbon (has nothing to do with actual bourbon) beans. Madagascar or Tahitian are the norm.

You want something around 35% alcohol. Remember…

After many, many miles of air travel.

If you can do it, only take maybe two days of clothes with you. Send the rest by UPS, or FedEx. It's a LOT less likely to get lost.

Sure it's an extra cost, but you don't have to deal with getting it at the terminal and chances are that it's going to show up, or there's a better…

I work in the food ingredient industry. I spent 15 years selling flavors. Trained taste test panels are something that every major food manufacturer uses. You think that Kraft isn't worried about some generic tasting as good as Miracle Whip? They have tens of millions invested in the brand. (BTW. I hate the stuff.)

Flav…

I'm a judge for the AKC. I judge what many of you would consider Search and Rescue work if you saw it. When I judge (about 14 times/year), I'll be outside in a Forest Preserve for about 10 hours on Saturday and ten hours on Sunday. No matter what the weather.

While Gortex jackets, etc. will work for me, I've never had…

Keep in mind that many times when you rent tools, you're going to get a tool that is better for the job.

Example. Although I do have a post hole digger, if I had to dig 20 holes, I'm sure as heck not going to use that.

They only rely on those numbers sort of.

I've got a 1981 Triumph TR8. It's a show winning car in impeccable shape. NADA values the car in fair shape at $8,000.00. Mine is worth about $15,000.00 No dealer would give you more than about $6,000.00 for the car.

Crick vs. muscle spasm.

I've only had one in my life. It felt as if my neck was (painfully) attached to my shoulder.

Trip to the doctor, injection, and heavy duty painkillers are the only way to solve the problem.

No problem with kids after the parents have made the decision.

We saved a dog. Small, fluffy type. We were trying to find a home for him. One of my friends said that his family was interested. They brought the 9 year old daughter along. As soon as she walked in the door, the decision was made. The dog could have had 3…

blackcat,

There's a difference between an obedience dog and an obedient dog. When I teach beginner and puppy classes, they are for pet owners who could care less about competitive obedience. That being said, I guarantee that my two current dogs are much more obedient than any of your dogs have ever been. Current dogs…

Let's see. I've TAUGHT obedience for 35+ years to over 4,000 people. I've earned the top AKC and ASCA obedience titles available, as have my students. Ditto for Canada. I've had therapy dogs and tracking dogs. I've worked with police departments helping them train their dogs. I've done protection work with dogs. I've…

"All it usually tells you is that the dog is inbred . . . "

Sorry, but you have no idea what you're talking about. Probably 95%+ purebred dogs are out crosses.

Very, very few breeders (and over 35 years, my wife have had a total of THREE litters) keep track of all of the puppies that they've sold. Yes, they're…

I've taught obedience for 35+ years. Many of those years I worked with some of the top obedience competitors and had top obedience competitors as students. I typically always did puppy and beginner classes.

Milan has done MORE to screw up more dogs and has set back the good training methods than anyone in the last 50…

#1 - Yes, I am a dog judge. Both for the American Kennel Club and the Australian Shepherd Club of America.
#2 - For the vast majority of people dogs from shelters are a great choice.
#3 - Not mentioned, also look into breed rescues. Many of the more popular breeds such as Labs, run breed rescues.
#4 - I can not…
