  • MSU Extension: Is Your Inventory Up to Date for Estate Planning Purposes?

    KALEENA MILLER and MARSHA GOETTING, MSU Extension|Feb 8, 2023

    Is your home inventory up to date for estate planning purposes? “I remember when I made my first list; it seemed to take forever” said Marsha Goetting MSU Extension Family Economics Specialist. “But just in case the rental house burned down, or a tornado struck (living in Kansas at the time) we would have a record of what we owned for insurance purposes.” “Looking back, because we were just starting out the list was short compared to now. Thank goodness making a household inventory for insurance and estate planning purposes today is much easier...

  • Challenge Your Happiness in 2023 - Part 5 The Importance of Work Friends

    CATHERINE PEARSON, New York Times|Feb 8, 2023

    I met one of my closest friends at a magazine I worked for years ago. At the time, she was a stranger who sat across from me in the world's most stupendously boring meeting. I felt her looking at me, and then she rolled her eyes. I smirked. A 30-year friendship was born. Workplace relationships are often overlooked, said Dr. Bob Waldinger, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and an author of the new book "The Good Life," but they are vital. A 2022 report from Gallup showed that...

  • Just Ask Georgia: 2/8/2023

    Georgia|Feb 8, 2023

    Georgia, I have a question, My family was having a reunion and we had a big dinner. I was sitting next to an aunt that I’d only met one other time and she was talking about something really boring, and crying and wailing at the dinner table. I had to fart, so I let one out and it was really horrible. One of my brothers laughed and the aunt went hysterical and my mom sent me to bed without dinner. Why would this be considered rude? Tootie Toddy Dear Tootie, It sounds as if your parents did not inform you that bodily functions should be done i...

  • Connecting Point: Next Rest Stop, 60 Miles

    Feb 8, 2023

    From west to east, Montana’s northern border stretches 545 miles. Then, more to the middle of the state along the freeway I-90 spans the greatest distance in one state at 552 miles across. Driving at a sane speed of 75mph, it takes close to 8 hours to make the trip—nonstop! I, for one, when it comes to road travel prefer to get from point A to point B as fast as possible. Just a few years ago family trips challenged me. Inevitably, I too soon heard from one of the kids, “I’ve got to go, bad! When’s the next stop, Dad?” All this to introduce C...

  • Clarification on Last Front Page

    Feb 8, 2023

    Last week’s front page article reporting that Family Minded online had honored Cardwell School with Best Elementary School in Montana received a lot of attention. However, was it warranted? As you’ll see below, there are several Letters to the Editor regarding the article. The Whitehall School also sent out letters to all the elementary parents showing their test scores were better than Cardwell’s. However, I feel the point was missed. Last year the Screams Come True Haunted House I created was named best in Montana by Travel Pulse onlin...
