I have been known to put my foot into my mouth a time or two...and that was just today!! Knowing who you are talking with and who theother people around you can save bite marks on those shoes...EXAMPLE!
A cowbaoy walks into the Barber shop for a shave and shoe shine, was the request. As the barber was preparing the shave, a beautiful young lady very well endowed knelt down to shine his boots.
"Young lady...I believe you and I shold go tot he local inn for a while.
She repleid..."I'm married and I don't think my husband would like that."
"Well, just tell him you are working overtime, and I will pay you the difference", the cowboy spouted.
"Why, don't you tell him...He's the one shaving you!
A friend called and said he needed a favor. He said..."Bill, you are brave and not scared of anything right."
"Yea, sure", I replied...but I was thinking that I either wasn't scared or just really stupid. "What's up?"
Well, Last year he had bought a house. At the peak of it was a 'BAT' house. Now these have become more popular in recent years, it's just not so normal for them to be mounted to the house.
"Well, that bat house has to be moved before I can work on that side of the house, and , um, I was wondering...you know I just hate bat's." Chuckling under my breath..."I will be over friday afternoon."
I won't go into all the qualities that make bat's good to have around, just the obvious is that they eat a lot of insects. A GOOD THING. After plugging the hole so the bat's couldn't come flying out, (Normally don't bite, but being moved could upset them), I unscrewed the house from the home. I could hear the squealing inside the house. As I pulled the Bat house down, one bat was hiding just behind the house and fell to the ground.
My friend became a magician...he disappeared! I set the house down and went over to the bat laying on the ground...
And picked it up. Although you do need to be careful for many reasons...I then showed his kids a good close up of the bat and explained the anatomy. They were awe struck at webbed wings and...
The teeth! The house was moved and the bat was placed on top of the house so it know where to go come night time.
Fear of the unknown and rumors are what drive the hate for bats. Hopefully the kids will grow up without the fear and a better knowledge.
Minneapolis and St Paul, along with some suburbs, have taken an aggressive stance on The Emerald Ash Borer. Old mature ash trees that are showing signs of their age are being cut down in the hopes of slowing the bugs spread.
One of the things that I was surprised at is that the comment was made that this bug is NOT picky as to what type of tree it picks on. It is however most dangerous to the Ash Trees. Minnesota has the largest amount of ash trees in the Nation,5 million plus, that are at risk.
Watch for meeting in your won neighborhood for more details. If you live in an area close to one that has been infected you can bet there will be some additional information coming to you soon.
I was a bit early and she arrived on time. A very nice looking lady in her late 20's, in great shape. (Hey, I am a guy and I do enjoy the beauty that God has provided. But, we should never let looks deceive us.
A great smile and bubbly personality soon turned into something just short of a PIT BULL on steroids. My heart rate went from a comfortable 60 to nearly 150 in a matter of minutes. There are no words to describe the change in personality. And to think that I am actually PAYING her to treat me like this!
OH..I did forget one thing...she is one of the trainers at the local 'Anytime fitness'. For health reasons I signed up partially because of my wife's 2 hands on my back pushing me through the door. Alisha is a very clever thing...she compliments you as she turns the screws to you just a bit more.
Because I don't want my minor health issues to become major and because I want to spend more quality time with my wife, (OK guys...fishing and hunting) I am going along with this torture. When I look back in 10-15 years I will most likely be grateful...but for today, I am wondering.
I go, begrudgingly, to the Dr. for my yearly talking to. My wife seldom believes what I tell her what the Doc has to say. So, this year I told her to come with. After the exam, the Doctor pulled my wife aside...
"You need to follow some instructions or I am afraid that your husband isn't going to make it."
1. Every morning you need to make a hat and healthy breakfast for him before he heads off to work so he can start his day off right.
2. At lunch, you need to make him a nutritious meal and put him in a good frame of mind before he heads back to work.
3. Dinner, make him a nice meal, and don't burden him with chores.
4. Have sex with him and satisfy his every whim.
ON the way home, I asked My wife..."Well, what did the Doctor say to you?"
She looked at me and said..."The Doctor said you are going to die!"

I am also versed in the commercial end of Real Estate also. Call us and let us be of service to YOU TODAY, or...Go to www.whipseringpinesrealtymn.com.
Farm, both hobby and Full scale including Dairy,I grew up on the farm which included all facets of farm living. I am familiar with Dairy, Beef and Hogs. I am also versed in the horse setup of today's "Hobby Farmer". There are many areas of farming and some do not include animals.
Recreational, from hiking to fishing and hunting. Being an avid outdoorsman since early childhood, I have an appriciation for nature and the outdoors. Just like farming, there are many different aspects of hunting. Deer Hunting is my main pasion, but bird and varmit come into play often also. I understand the need for good hunting as for numbers, or, the local and habitat for the more challanging Trophy. Land birds are different from Waterfowl. Some of my clients want a mixed bag oppurtunity and we can tailor a purchase to include most any situation.
Retail business and mfg. The commercial end of Real Estate can be the most challenging. There are so many different needs which can change in a heartbeat. Same goes for Retail. I was a Assistant manager in a small company, and so I understand the need of space being appropriate for the type of opperation. I owned a retail store for 16 years and seen how inventories change over periods of time. There is a need to be able to be flexable to the next trend. I work with clients thatwant to pruchase and who prefer to lease.
1031 tax exchange is one of the most misunderstood of Real Estate Transactions. In simple terms, it allows you to seel one property and buy a different, and some times several, properties without paying any taxes on the sale. The KEY to thsis is working with a knowledgeable agents and an exchange party that knows all the ins and outs. This is not a time to use someone that says "Oh sure I think we can do those"! I have personally done 7 transactions and another 12, some multiple, additional client exchanges.
Large land sales and developement. If you were blessed or a smart investment, I have and still do work with several developement companies that specialize in the development for housing and business needs. These developers take pride in what they are doing with the land. If you are looking to sell a parcel of any size, let us help keep some of the integrity of the land. A 1031 exchange may be the key to finacial freedom also!
The majority of our clients are people like ourselves looking for a home, either that once in a lifetime dream, or the 1st time buyer. There are many concerns that each and everyone have.

Mpls/St. Paul magazines listed myself as "Super Real Estate Agent" a designation that the magazine makes from referrals of my peers. I had that Designation for 2005 and 2006. I was the only agent from the North Branch area ( according to my clients ) that was listed for either year. Working with the public, also known as friends, is very rewarding in that I meet many great people. I am the choise of most the members of my small church, and of several other small organizations I belong to, because they know I will treat them like I want to be treated. Other testimonials can be seen by direct request, as most of my clients do not wish to be over loaded with calls. Thank You for your understanding.
