A little ND humor!

I receive so much ND humor, that each month I will try to share something with you! For some reason only people who live in ND or are from ND can appreciate it or relate to it! Some you may have seen, some not, but heck maybe it will make your day! I promise to keep it clean!

 You know you're from North Dakota when.....

Compliments of Kelly (Falconer) Johnson

Your idea of a traffic jam is 10 cars waiting to pass a tractor.

"Vacation" means going to Brainerd for the weekend.

You measure distance in hours.

. You know several people who have hit deer more than once.

You often switch from "heat" to "a/c" in the same day.

You use a down comforter in the summer.

Your grandparents drive 65 mph through 13 feet of snow during a blizzard, without flinching.

You see people wearing hunting clothes to social events.

You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both doors unlocked.

You think of the major food groups as venison, walleye, and Leinenkugels.

You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend knows how to use them.

There are 7 empty cars running in the parking lot at the grocery store at any given time.

You design your kids Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.

Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.

You think sexy lingerie is tube socks and flannel p.j.'s.

You know all four seasons; almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction.

It takes you 3 hours to go to the store for one item even when
you're in a rush because you have to stop to talk to everyone in town.

"Parenting Pearls or Perils?"

The following is similar to what we posted in October but with a new twist! Equally as cute!

just like you....then you'll see what it's like"

"CLASS FLAVORS"

This month our recipe is compliments of Julie (Weinberger) Monzelowsky. She not only sent us an interview, which will go online in the spring, but she also sent us her recipe for Chicken Fatajas! I can tell you truthfully that they were very good! ENJOY!

Dave Horner and his wife Karen are traveling to Fort Lauderdale, Fl. in Feb. They are hoping that someone could suggest a good restaurant or two. They especially like crab claws.
Any ideas anyone???

 CLASS OF 1983 20th REUNION
Tentative dates are July 25, 26 and 27th for the CHS 20th reunion. Rumor has it that BHS is having their reunion on the 18th and St. Mary’s is having theirs the week prior to that. If you have siblings, spouses, cousins, etc. who graduated in 1983 from any of the three high schools, please send me their info as soon as possible. I will then pass it onto the appropriate reunion coordinator. As I hear more information concerning the reunion I will pass it along via the newsletter.

24 SIGNS YOU’VE GROWN UP!
How many of these can you relate to??

Your houseplants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them.

Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.

You keep more food than beer in the fridge.

6:00AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.

You hear your favorite song on an elevator.

You watch the Weather Channel.

Your friends marry and divorce instead of hook up and break up.

You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.

Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up."

You're the one calling the police because those damn kids
next door won't turn down the stereo.

Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.

You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.

Your car insurance goes down and your payments go up.

You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald's leftovers.

Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.

You no longer take naps from noon to 6 PM.

Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.

. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset,
rather than settle, your stomach.

You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.

A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff."

You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.

"I just can't drink the way I used to," replaces, "I'm never going to drink that much again."

90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.

You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that doesn't apply to you.

Todd gives us his view, and he is …..

"TOTALLY UNCENSORED!"

Compliments of Todd Jueth

Hey everybody, it's December and get ready because here comes Santa Clause. Yep, he is at the North pole wrenching on the sled getting ready to blow out of there on December 24th. And remember he knows if you have been naughty or nice so, if you have been on the bad side lately you still have a couple of weeks to clean it up and you just might get that special gift that you have been wanting. But, if you blow it - too bad, try again next year. 

Speaking of bad guys, a couple of bozos were arrested for manufacturing meth in Bismarck. They were put in the county jail and made bond. With trial pending against them what do you think they did? They went back to their house and were attempting to manufacture meth again, when guess who shows up? Yep, it’s the law and with search warrant in hand they arrested them again for manufacturing meth. Once again, this falls under the saying – "this is your brain, and then this is your brain on drugs." I think these two should put the rat poison away and try a different profession. 

With the fall high school sports winding down, our beloved Bismarck Demons football team lost in the semifinals to eventual state champion West Fargo in a classic shootout. I believe the score was 53-39. Oh well, Bismarck was really banged up at the end of the season. Winter sports are just taking off, and to no one’s surprise, Demons’ wrestling is ranked #1 in the west. I think when they make the state championship trophy they should just put the Demons picture in it. It's kinda like one of those things in life that is a sure thing; taxes, death, and the Demons winning a wrestling state championship. 

In the November elections North Dakota passed a measure that will allow the state to join in on a multi state lottery. Some people are not too sure that it’s good for us, but, it's kind of like this: a couple weeks ago they had the Victoria’s Secret model show on the television and a lot of people wrote in to the U.S.A. Today newspaper complaining that it was pornographic and did not belong on T.V. But I'm sure that all of the killing and other crap you can view on the television are OK. The point is, if you don't want to watch Victoria’s Secret, turn the channel and, if you don't want to play the lottery don't. 

At the end of November we finished up deer hunting in North Dakota. What a great time we had. We spent a lot of time in the great outdoors. I walked up a lot of valleys, big hills, logged a lot of miles across the plains. It was a very demanding physical work out. It really lets you know if you are in shape or not. Finally, I harvested my deer, shot her about 100 yards out so I tell my buddy Chuck lets go get her. We walk out I take about 5 or 6 steps and all of a sudden I feel this massive snap in the back of my left calf. Now, I can't walk anymore I am trying but I can't put any pressure on my left leg. I totally blew my muscle in half. What a bummer. It could not have happened at a worse time. It's the beginning of the holiday season and I work in the grocery industry, and my job requires me to do a lot of cruising around the store and that doesn't work so well on crutches.  

Well the time in my life has come for me to turn 40 years old. Yes, on 12-03-02, I will be the big 40. Now life begins. It really doesn’t bother me I have always said you cannot worry about the things you have no control over. Heck, I think it's a great accomplishment because boy there was some close calls in my life when I did not think that I would make it past 25 years old. One, to date, still sends a chill up my spine – when I fell asleep driving my Camero from Devils Lake at 6am in the morning. I was so busy having a good time the whole weekend that I forgot to sleep. Well, I decided to take a nap while driving my car on a two-lane highway and crossed over into the other lane. I woke up when I heard gravel spraying up on the car. I tried to turn the car back over to my lane, but the car bottomed out, the rear end went up into the air, we landed back on the highway, did about 20 circles down the middle of the highway and ended up facing the wrong way when we stopped. The funny thing was, my buddy was sleeping in the passenger seat and did not wake up until we came to a stop in the middle of the highway facing the wrong way. He wakes up and calmly says, "hey, what's going on? Start the car and let’s get home," and goes back to sleep. HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT I JUST WENT THRU.

I would like to wish all of you a very MERRY CHRISTMAS it's all about the kids when you can see the joy on a child's face Christmas morning there is little on earth that can replace that. Be safe and God bless you all. Chat at you In January

Joe Deitrich sent this to me, kinda neat!
Just a quick note on something that happened to Linda and me. When our kids were off of school for teachers’ convention, we went to Fargo for the weekend. We were walking through the mall when we ran into Scott Carlson. It turns out that Scott was in town from Wisconsin to visit. I wonder what are the odds of us running into each other. I thought it was interesting,
and that you might like to know. Thanks again for the great job your doing
with the newsletter and web site.

This was sent in by Wendy (Cleveland) Siegel after she proofread
the newsletter, it really is a SMALL WORLD!

I have a small world story for you, too. This actually happened over a year ago. It was Elizah's first ballet recital, she was four years old. The recital was at a university theater in Orange, which is about 25 miles north of where we live. I was backstage to pick her up during intermission when I saw a familiar face. I hadn't seen Kara Christiansen (class of 82) for over 20 years, but kept thinking it sure looked like her. I decided to just go ask her and sure enough - it was her. She has a daughter the same age and was there for the performance as well. We'd been going to the same dance studio with the kids for months without knowing it. And get this! She lives in the same town, only a couple miles away with her husband and three children. We've kept in touch and try to get together when schedules allow.

 

HOLIDAY TRADITIONS

Julie (Mjolsness) Lindstrom sent us a great idea! She asked us to ask all of you the following question…"How about asking classmates about their favorite holiday traditions that they celebrated as they were growing up and what traditions have they passed on to their own family or still experience themselves? Sometimes people have some unique ways of celebrating. Always looking for fun ideas..." Well, here is what people had to say!

While I was student teaching in London England, I learned about Christmas Crackers. I purchase these at an English store and we have continued this tradition for the past 12 years. To open the Christmas Crackers, everyone sits on the floor in a circle. Then you cross your arms and pull the crackers. They make a pop or crack! Then, we all put on our paper crowns and one at a time read the joke and share the toy that is inside. It is a fun activity and one that the whole family enjoys! Roxanne Delaney

Down here for Christmas, well I should say down here on Christmas day, there are a few of us from North Dakota, not all from Bismarck. But in the morning of x-mas we head up to the mountains about 70 miles north of Phoenix and fill about 3 or 4 pickups full of snow and we bring them back to Phoenix and whoevers house we decide to have Christmas at we dump all of the snow on the front yard so the kids can play in the snow for the day. Or until it melts but we take the bigger kids with us to shovel it in the back and us older ones mostly supervise (lol). And it seems that there is always a pickup without a topper so we build a snowman with stick arms and coal for eyes and a carrot for the nose and drive back to phoenix and have to stop every 5 miles or so and rebuild a bit as we get closer we stop more often, (lol) so that's kinda why we take pickups with toppers. You stop the melting so fast. But we have been doing this for years and really look forward to that every year, so we get our share of snow unless we go on a ski trip. Dennis Hopfauf

As all of you know, we go home every year, so we have yet to celebrate Christmas in our home on December 25th. Kevin and I decided a very long time ago that we needed to create our own traditions in WI. So the Sat. before we head home to ND is our family Christmas. We make no plans that day, Santa comes on Friday night, we make all the wonderful fixin’s and open our gifts to one another on that very special day. The rest of the day is all about doing puzzles, playing games, and just doing the family thing. At this point it is the next best thing to being here on Christmas day. We’ve also been pretty lucky up to this point, on many occasions we have even been able to celebrate with real snow, just like at home! Lauri (Reed) Eckmann

LIFE UPDATES and MORE
HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Hi Lauri, Kevin & Todd J:

Thank you for creating and maintaining the `81 BHS newsletter. I love seeing all the names on your e-mail list. I knew many of our class throughout my life and have fond memories of those people. I have enjoyed the monthly news (when it's good) and keeping up to date on our classmates. I had a good time at BHS. I especially remember a great bunch of guys with whom I played football; like Todd, Mike. Miles(Pork), Wally & Blaine and the great graduation Party down at the Sand bar/River.

After our graduation party I headed off to boot camp for the North Dakota National Guard with another bunch of great guys there, too. Like George, Chris, & Craig; we had a good time shooting our M-16, M-50 machine guns, throwing grenades and testing the tilt limits on all the US Army vehicles and Drill Sergeants -- not to mention we did about 100,000 push-ups.

Presently, I stay super busy with my Law Practice and Real Estate Title Company here in West Chester, Ohio, which is 15 minutes north of Cincinnati. (right off I-75 in case any one is heading to Florida: stop and look me up)

For fun and fitness, I race Motorcross on a KX-250 at the amateur level and play Hockey regularly on a local men's league.

For Love, I am married to my wonderful wife Michelle and together we have two awesome boys, Chase Spencer Fernandez (4) and Blake Alexander Fernandez(2) attached are a couple recent photos of us together.

Have a great Holiday, keep up the good work and if there are any future class gatherings I'll try to get to town. I still have many relatives in Bismarck.

Best Wishes to all. Eric Fernandez

Take note everyone, his family pictures can be found on the ofoto.com site,
they were placed in the Holiday Wishes Album.

Nadine (Schaffer) Morelli has reenlisted in the USN Reserves as (PN3-Petty Officer 3^rd class Personnelman). She is thrilled to be back in the military again and her first drill weekend was Nov 16.!! Her husband, Aaron is now in Lee County Animal Services, and still going into Firefighting. He is also considering entering into the Reserves. She also writes that she now has 7 children (animals) 3 dogs 4 cats and that "Family planning" prohibits having anymore.

What Other 1981 grads are up too…

This story ran on November 22, 2002, in the Bismarck Tribune,
Ryan Jundt is a 1981 graduate from CHS.

Bismarck man records country album, "Dream of Dakota"
By Tony Spilde

For a minute it sounded like Ryan Jundt had sniffed a little too much shoe polish.

The 39-year-old Bismarck man was talking about his debut album, a country music job called "Dream of Dakota, " when a bizarre statement escaped his lips. There are no sad stories. No boozin’, swearin’, dead dogs or unfaithful wives. Is this country music?

Many of the lyrics for the disc’s 10 tracks were first imagined at a show repair shop in Kirkwood Mall, where Jundt worked nights for 16 years. That led to a knee-jerk huffing indictment.

But under further review Jundt’s songs are pure country. They celebrate life instead of bemoaning its pitfalls.

The idea for the title tack came to Jundt late one night on his back porch, during a spectacular showing of the northern lights. He eventually composed the ode to life in North Dakota, where Jundt has spent all of his days.

He performed "Dream of Dakota" for former Gov. Ed Schafer’s inaugural celebration in 1993. Six thousand people stood up to applaud, which set in stone Jundt’s theory about songwriting: They would be based on family and where he’s from-things that matter.

"Dad’s studio was right next to me room," Jundt’s daughter Courtney, 18 said. "I would put my ear to the wall at night and listen until I fell asleep. The songs were always about us, the family."

That’s what set Jundt apart and drew interest from Nashville, Tenn.

A group called Tommy York Band played a gig at the Burnt Creek Country Club, near the Jundt home north of Bismarck. They were shopping around at Capital RV, where Jundt is a salesman. He played them some stuff and they liked it. The band’s bass player knew Nashville producer Razzie Bailey. He told Bailey he had to hear this guy from North Dakota.

"They said everybody down there is trying to sound like somebody," Jundt said. "They hadn’t heard music like this for quite some time."

Bailey, who had written or performed 13 No. 1 songs and 35 in the top 10, invited Jundt to Nashville to record. Like one of those RV’s climbing a steep hill, Jundt was floored.

"I was nervous that when I got down there, all these great musicians wouldn’t like my music." Jundt said. "But on the first day, Razzie Bailey said ‘Soldier of Life’ was the finest piece of writing that he’d heard in 30 years."

Jundt wrote that song about his grandfather, Joseph Henry Jundt. Along with the CD’s first track, "Cutest Little Girl," written about Courtney, "Soldier of Life" is the one that gets to people.

"Those are the ones that make most people cry," Jundt’s wife Karen, said. "We’ve been listening to them all these years with just the guitar. The songs are truly beautiful with all the instrumentation."

Jundt also wrote songs about Karen and their son, Corey.

"My family is the reason I went down to Nashville," Jundt said. "They are why there is a ‘Dream of Dakota.’"

Bailey is currently involved in the post-production on the disc. It will be released under the name Ryan James. James is Jundt’s middle name, and will work better in show business, he said.

The disc will be released by Wheatland Music Productions. It will be available at Capital RV, Pure Country, and yet-to-be designed web site. For more information, call 400-5271.

A note from me: I thought that some of you many be very interested in owning a CD that highlights what many of us hold dear, family and our love of North Dakota! Though we love to make fun of ND each month, I know from talking to many of you, that no matter where you live, ND is still "home". I can also tell you that the CD cover shows some great scenes from ND! Though I am not a big country fan, I’m adding this to my Christmas list!

GET WELL SOON
Get well wishes must go out to Todd Jueth! As all of you read above, he is somewhat slowed down by a muscle injury. Let’s hope he is up and about by Christmas and doing better by the beginning of the New Year!

Welcome to the world little one…
Tom and Kim Gerhardt welcomed their 7th. child into the world on September 15th. Her name is Joy Violetta Gerhart, and she was 7lbs 4oz. Tom tells us that it was a "textbook home water birth with Lithuanian midwife, no tears stitches or abrasions and baby & mom are both doing great."

Condolences

Our sincerest sympathies to Lori Ford Moore and her family. Her mother Elisabeth Ford passed in Muskogee, OK. on November 15th. Services will be held at 1:30 p.m. on Dec. 7 at First United Methodist Church, Bismarck.
