Are you a knife person? When I say this, I simply mean do you carry a knife where ever you go? Now, don’t get me wrong; this isn’t a bad thing. I personally feel naked without my knife clipped in my pocket. Maybe you too carry a modern-day tactical folder. Or maybe you’re one of those old timer pocket knife kind of folks. My grandpa surely was. He had his old timer pocket knife in his jeans 24/7. That fine little blade sure can come in handy at times. You never know when you might need to cut, whittle, or peel something out of the blue. You’ve probably already figured out that we’re from the more rural part of the world. The part where men are still men, and they still hang onto their old timer pocket knife. It’s simply a way of life. (more…)

New Year’s Eve tends to be one of those days that is very depressing for people. There are so many expectations that come with New Year’s Eve that people are often left feeling let down by themselves or others. One of the reasons for this is the tradition of new year’s resolutions. This tradition requires that each person states on New Year’s Eve what they are going to change about their life or what they are going to accomplish in the coming year. Often times these resolutions are broken before the confetti is cleaned up from the New Year’s Eve celebration. A good resolution to make is to not make any resolutions.

Most dog owners have the best of intentions, but have no idea how to turn their pesky pup into a sweet and well-tempered dog. This is when obedience dog training is a great idea. This will help any owner learn how manage their animal when they need to be well behaved. (more…)

You know, I have found that what I consider funny videos today are not what I would have appreciated as funny ten years ago. I just found new movies to laugh out loud at recently that back then I might have found amusing or worth a chuckle. Age is not the factor I point to here in deciding what is funny. What is funny is subjective, and depends upon the mindset, upbringing, and overall experiences of each group or individual, so how about we consider a variety of funny videos in hopes that each of us will agree with at least one offering on the funny videos list?

These days it’s not an unusual sight to see movie-related products on store shelves. I expect that kind of thing from Disney or Pixar movies for sure, but didn’t realize that this type of marketing extended to so many other films as well. For example, I’ve seen so much Napoleon Dynamite merchandise over the last couple years that I finally gave in and watched the movie. I had heard of it of course, but had managed to avoid it because it just didn’t seem like my kind of film.
