I work when I am not in school. I do a little bit of everything, mechanic work, appliance repair, farm work, etc. I normally get jobs from friends or families. I am a quick learner and a hard worker, I use those jobs to fund my schooling so I don't have to take large loans out. Reply...

We pay cash for our cars, and other than a mortgage payment, no marital debts. We put all purchases, even groceries on our Discover card, then pay the whole amount due each month. At the end of the year, Discover sends us a rewards check... money for each cc purchase we make. It's usually a couple hundred bucks. SickO, I've never heard this mentioned, but do you work and if so, what do you do? Reply...

We are looking at homes, and wifey wants to stay in Bismarck Mandan. I told her it ain't happening. Especially when we can get the same amount of house or more for half the price with a 30 minute drive of Bismarck. I put the limit down of 90,000 grand. If we can find a decent house in the Bis Man area great, but a 90,000 house in New Salem, Center, Wilton, Steele, etc is a whole lot of house vs what you will be able to find in Bismarck. Meaning I want to pay off our mortgage in a matter of years and not decades. Reply...

My husband and I are in are late 40's with one child in college out of state and 1 junior in high school... they are out of debt... but there parents are not... You should be very proud of yourselves because you are totally in control of your selves and there is no greater freedom than that... undortunately according to those who are in the know.. your credit will suffer if you do not have any revolving debt..... so you had better replace that van..

Have been dedt free for almost 4 years, it's a great feel. It's wonderful to not worry about paying bills every month, except phone, electric and heating oil every few months. The best part if knowing that if we really want something we just go get it. Only problem is nothing to deduct for taxes, oh maybe I should go shopping. Reply...

What is this foreign language "debt free" you speak of??

I've been in debt since I bought my first car, and I still am. Keeps me going to work .

I have my fingers crossed on a few stocks and hopefully I can get everything paid off in a couple years.

In Article: New Town schools forcing all kids to learn Hidatsa

I love how people are commenting about how no one will ever use this language beyond the reservation, but where the heck are you going to use German and French? Spanish might be useful, but the other two? Not so much. Also, it's an AMERICAN language that they are teaching, and AMERICAN Indians have every right to have their languages taught as any other. Children who do not have English as a first language are forced to learn it so that they can go to school, at least if other children know the language, even a little bit, transition will be easier for them. This way, more people will feel comfortable teaching kids Hidatsa or Arikara or Dakota and such if they know that they will be able to succeed in school. If tribes do not have a language, they will lose their sovereignty, but more importantly, they will lose their culture. Everywhere around you, you'll see traces of European culture, but what about us? We need at least SOMETHING to remind us that we exist and are native and are human too.

In Article: New Town schools forcing all kids to learn Hidatsa

Having read along with over 150 posts here, I find it amusing that folks all the way up in SD are having cultural issues of the same dimension as folks in Southern Mississippi.   Down here it is Eboni, the language of the mid-African languages, and every open discussion of language winds up being a rascist argument.   We as Americans are so foolish when we don't realize that folks take their lives in their hands crawling through tunnels from Mexico, sleeping in shipping containers from China, rowing washtubs across the Caribbean or using a visa that gets lost along with the bearer in order to come here because of the economy, language, standard of living and CULTURE.   We are stupid to allow ghettos, reservations, encampments or Little Towns that try to crossbreed culture into something that has wrecked Europe for over a 1000 years.


I believe if you come to America, get a job, learn the language, assimilate the culture like everyone else and stand proudly and shake your fist at the rest of those demagogues out there that want to bring us down to their level of incompetency, joblessness and ignorance.  It's time to stand up for this country and quit all this backbiting and ethnocentricity.   Support the culture that is tolerant and moral because it is what has made us the world's best.


Now that's my peacepipe... I'd vote for anyone that smokes it with me.

In Article: New Town schools forcing all kids to learn Hidatsa

i am kind of fascinated by the trash talking - not even so much of the race issue but of the school itself.  i find it interesting there is so much shock over this "unknown" mandatory class.  read the paper.  you can trash the local news all you want but the reality is, they are the only ones parkin their butts in the chairs every month for the school board meetings where these things take place.  the only time parents show up at the meetings seems to be when their kid gets in trouble and can't play in the next game.


as for the claims about unqualified people or inappropriate hiring, how many people have paid any attention to the hiring process?  the openings are published in the paper and discussed at every meeting.  the superintendent didn't hire his wife, the board did and did so based on qualifications.  you can question it all you want.  every word of the processes are recorded and witnessed by those who care enough to go to the meetings. 


i do agree the kids should have their choice of what they learn.  the problem is the lack of teachers.  the school pays a lot of money to get spanish into the students because there is no one else to teach them.  the reason hidatsa is taught is because the last i heard, they couldn't find someone qualified to teach the other languages.  believe me, the topic has been discussed at meetings...oh yeah, which again, nobody goes to.


the truth is, when you live surrounded by another culture, some of it's going to seep into your lives.  it would probably be more productive for students to learn a language they'll be able to continue with in college and speak around the world, but it won't kill anybody.

Contractors business name is Renovations Solutions.  At the time he had a valid "in Good Standing" license and the required paper work.  Work is being done to have the Secretary of State (the license department for contractors) revoke his license.  Unfortantly, the law does not concider this criminal and so no criminal charges can be filed.  Civial charges have been filed, but that will only provide for a judgement against him and not prevent him from continueing to do this to other families.  Reply...

I think the majority of carpenters/contractors ask for money up front before they start the job. It's the customer's duty to check them out first. Reply...
