2 weeks ago We have two vacuums in our house (not counting the dogs) and both have lately been sucking at sucking. One is old that we got for our wedding 10 years ago and the other is a pretty new Kirby. On Friday my wife took them both to Sawtooth Vacuum and Water Conditioning and they gave her an easy tip on making any vacuum last longer.
2 weeks ago I realized something today while talking to a few mothers about their favorite gifts from their kids. They were most grateful and fond of gifts that were made by their children. It wasn't the spa day or the clothing - it was the gift from the heart of their kids.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Anheuser-Busch is introducing a new, bowtie-shaped beer can that mirrors its iconic Budweiser logo.
The St. Louis-based subsidiary of Anheuser-Busch InBev NV said Wednesday that the new cans will be available in a special 8-pack nationwide beginning May 6
April 16, 2013 So many feelings are floating around Twin Falls and all of America - sadness, anger, hatred, confusion, and fear. We live in the greatest country of freedom in the world, so how and why would something like this happen here?
Despite the terror, we have to continue our lives. Yesterday my daughter had her first soccer game of the season and there were hundreds of children at the soccer fields running, playing, and just being kids.
April 13, 2013 This may come as a surprise, but not all toiletry products work as we wish they would. This does not mean that you should stop taking care of yourself, but it is pretty crazy that quite a few of the cleaning products do the opposite of what they are supposed to do. Check out the list of 5 bathroom products in Twin Falls homes that don't work.
March 25, 2013 Spring has sprung...and so have the winter messes! My wife is really good at not being able to stay still, so all winter long she cleans the inside of the house. When it gets warm outside my family is always ready to go outside to clean up the yard and get it ready for summer fun.
March 2, 2013 Christmas was over two months ago - but the reminder is there everyday. New toys on the floor and maybe even some boxes and decoration still adorn your house. Well, it's March so clean it up! Spring cleaning is an often dreaded, and understandably so, yearly activity in most houses. It is also a great way to de-clutter and maybe make a little money if you are ambitious.
February 20, 2013 When I was a kid and I needed something from another room in the house I either got up and got it or I yelled really loud to get someone to bring it to me. Later in life we got an intercom system which made us yell less, but we still had to get up to use it. Now - kids are even lazier! Instead of moving their body at all, they are now calling or texting from their smart phones!
January 31, 2013 Looks like technology is going to bite us in the butt again. A settlement reached between card issuers and merchants means that stores in Idaho (and most other states with the exception of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Oklahoma and Texas) could start charging you a "checkout fee" when you pay for something with plastic.
January 30, 2013 I am not an old man set in my ways...but I am skeptical of things that seem too easy or obvious for me to have not been doing for the past 30 years. I just learned yesterday (apparently everyone else already knew it) that if you have a problem with always boiling over your water when cooking noodles, you simply put a wooden spoon over the pot and that fixes the problem! How and why - I have no idea. But it works.
January 29, 2013 Father Of The Year Award goes to me for this one! Yesterday my wife had a doctors appointment so I took the two babies in the car to get the two big kids from the bus stop. The bus stop is maybe 100 yards from our front door, so it isn't a big deal to have the kids walk - except there is usually a big dog on the loose and it was really cold and windy (plus it started snowing) so I thought it would be nice.
This past Christmas, a woman received perhaps the best present she could have ever imagined. Her reaction, however, is a gift to the rest of us.
