QOTD: 5th grade sucked for me! Mr. Ambrose, what a d!ck, gave me an F second semester. He said I would never amount to anything. I’d love to work on his teeth today!! 😉

QOTD: Mr. Moser – Wiley Elementary School – Utica, MI.

Great guy, probably my best elementary teacher, used to get so pissed at us he would shove his fist in his mouth to ‘bite his lip’. I always laughed inside – outside would get you scolded.

The poor college student should try the Hahn Meritage for a few more $. It really is a nice wine and is a TRUE Meritage since it is composed of Bordeaux varietals – hint, hintâ?¦

QOTD: Mr. McDonald â?? he reminded me of Dr. Spock because he had pointy ears and a sharp & pointy nose. He was an OK teacher but had a Jekyll & Hyde attitude toward me because I could beat him in just about any sport. I think he made me pay for that.

QOTD

5th grade, Raymond J. Lockhart school in Massapequa…….Mrs. Hammer..( no kidding! ) .. I think that should say it all.

Really tough after Ms. MacLaren the year before who was a tall svelt BOMBshell!!! Everything a 4th grade boy needed for inspiration.

Gary, Good Look ! Must be practicin’ for when
ya gonna be CEO/OWNER of da JETS! Hope da JETS
get ya some good picks tomorrow!!

QOTD: Dat seems like a zillion years ago?!
Forgot. 🙁

Congrats to your sister.

QOTD: Mrs. Floyd, from Waccamaw Academy in 1974 or so. Helped me to love math. Thank you, Mrs. Floyd.

CK here!

QOTD: Ms. Ward…now known as Mrs. English. She got married once I was on 7th grade. Very cool teacher. My favorite teacher has to have been my 9th grade Honors English teacher Mrs. Chadwell. Instead of pushing pencils like the rest of the kids in my grade, we were sipping tea and reading poetry. Good times!

QOTD: Mr. Hall. He had a good list and a bad list on the chalkboard (based on behavior & work completion). At the end of the week the good kids got to go with him on a field trip to hike Mt. Rainier. I’m sure it was fun… I couldn’t tell you from experience, though. 🙂

CK!! Oklahoma City University!!!!

Qotd: Mrs. Beach… 5th grade at Merrill El. in Merrill, MI.

Listening to Gary now on Sirius!

QOTD:

QOTD: Mr. Manitzis. What is it with great 5th grade teachers? He was awesome! Little tricks for remembering or controlling behavior I remember still to this day! He taught both of my older sisters as well.

Great show. Hope your sister enjoys every moment of the attention and kudos her talent and competence have earned her!

5th Grade… who knows…that was like last century and 4,000 bottles of wine ago.

QOTD: Mrs. Mann–though if I recall, she split midway through the year due to a mental breakdown (our class was freakin’ ruthless).

QOTD: Miss Ola Tenney. It was 1960 and the most lasting influence
from her was the short story “A Message To Garcia.” I’ve used that
so many times with my children, they’ve come to dislike poor old
Miss Tenney.

QOTD: Miss Meiser, hottest teacher I ever had!!!! Thanks for reminding me of her.

CK in the house

Vayner,
Heard your interview on NPR today! A link for all the vaniacs here
How about a dessert wine episode? Maybe a tasting of the Yalumba Museum Muscat, that wine is off the hook! Also, how about a Chianti dessert wine? Just had my first the other night, I just about died from the flavor explosion.

My link didn’t show up!

college ftw.

College kid! first comment. woohoo!

CK. Marist College. 22. Graduate in May!

The Languedoc-Roussillon wine I had this weekend were extremely disappointing. They had fake noses, and the La Granacha which was highly rated was also a let down. The wine of this night was the Pindar Pythagoras–it was a citrus fruit party!

holllaaa from another college student (grad school). keep the WA wines flowin! although poor, i will make a promise to buy the next assortment case you put on the show…mark my words! must say an interesting move a for darrelle revis. also, props to pickin’ up someone from nicholls state in the late rounds!

Good show. Being the Syrah lover that I am, I am really tempted to pick up some of the Eric Kent to put away for a rainy year. Unfortunately, in the midst of a SIWBM, so I can’t do it. (Two kids in college, one in private HS, very little discretionary income).

QOTD – I will NEVER forget my 5th grade teacher, Mrs. Graham, requiscat in pace. She, maybe more than any other teacher except my 1st grade teacher Mrs. Keehn, was responsible for making me what I am today. She saw the potential inside me and reached down and pulled it out. I don’t know how I would have ended up without her influence. She was one of the great blessings of my life and one of those people whom no doubt received the accolade, “well done, good and faithful servant” when she stood before her creator at the end of her life.
