Before You Dig (MM #4931)

For years, you’ve been told to call before you dig. Anytime you have a project where you have to dig a hole on your property, you’re told to call 811 so the utility companies can mark the places you need to avoid. The last thing you want to do is hit a gas line or…

My wife and I have been together for roughly 30 years. And there’s not much about her that I don’t know. I learned early that her favorite ice cream was chocolate chip or the mint version. She gets one scoop of each whenever we go to the ice cream shop. But ice cream flavors often…
