Yup, we’re doomed, welcome to the United States of Amerika.
Florida Nurse Terrorized by US Marshals in Warrantless Raid.Luckily the boyfriend Dorris, was able to remain calm and request ID from the man, but the yelling continued and the man shouted, “We’re the f—- police; open the f—- door!”
~
After being arrested outside, Dorris saw numerous men wearing vests with the words federal marshal strewn across them. Dozens of Sarasota Police officers flooded the scene, as well as some others that he couldn’t identify, which he found unusual since he often worked with police at his security company.
~
Wiggins claimed they had a tip that the suspect, Kyle Riley, was inside the apartment complex, but admitted they had no specific information that indicated he was inside Goldsberry’s apartment.
Wiggins said when the people inside the apartment didn’t immediately open up, that gave them reason to believe they were harboring the alleged child rapist.
The U.S. marshal even had the audacity to say, “Nobody in the other units reacted that way.”
Tom Lyons, a reporter for the Herald Tribune countered, “Maybe none of them had a gun pointed at them through the window.”
Of course Wiggins didn’t seem to think that fact condoned the horrified woman’s behavior. He said he acted with restraint and didn’t like having a gun aimed at him.
“I went above and beyond. I have to go home at night,” said Wiggins.
Lyons argued, “She had a gun pointed at her, too, and she wasn’t wearing body armor and behind a shield.”
“She had no reason to expect police or think police would ever aim into her kitchen and cuss at her through her door to get in. It seemed crazy and she was panicked.”SPITS!!!

I’m sitting in my wheelchair and Barf Kitty has both paws on my leg and big round begging eyes looking at me. Now she’s tapping my elbow ever so softly.
I guess she gets in my lap. -

Good morning Tedtam, I do hope that you get better soon, you’ll go bonkers stuck in the house.

That female anchor has an IQ in the moron range. Morning, y’all. I stayed up too late and had a hard time getting up this morning. I spent the last 30 minutes of it repeating “2 more minutes” on my nap timer.

Helen Thomas has left the building.

The very existence of giant viruses had escaped my notice until today. Leave it to the dailymail to sensationalize the story by suggesting a Martian origin. A more restrained look at the first discovery of a giant virus is here.

I stumbled across this the other day and thought it was interesting; Some Think Shoes Make the Horse, But Others Tend to Say Neigh.
When I was a lad, I used to shoe horses and we didn’t know any thing about Aluminum shoes. I’ve been away from horses for a long time and I wonder how many folks use them.
I also wonder what kind of epoxy they use to glue them on. One thing about gluing them on it would be safer for the horse than nailing them on. 😉 -
I wonder if President Racist and the MSNBC Spitter will walk arm and arm today during the No Justice No One gets to Take a Pee marches today.

Good morning Hamsters. Right now Galveston is getting some rain while the rest of us watch. Sniff.
Larry the news anchor above was about as kind in his assessment of the “psychic’s” failed performance as he could be. Agree with mharper42’s (# 9) view of the ditzy female anchor.
Umm, the French commercial “Emma” is a hoot ( Hamous #4). Another opinion that computers will never replace paper…. I have maintained for years that computers will never replace paper and pen/pencil, and this one takes care of the paper part in spades.

So there is news that Helen Thomas has attained ambient temperature? -

Good morning Tedtam, I do hope that you get better soon, you’ll go bonkers stuck in the house.
Thank you for kind thoughts. I’ve contacted the doctor regarding spinal decompression therapy. I had actually used the inversion table twice in the first week of my injury, and it provided temporary pain relief. It was just painful to get from a slightly bent posture to a straight one, to lay against the table. Once I flipped over, I was completely comfortable. NASA sis sent me a link to a clinic in Friendswood that uses a more controlled form of SDT to treat back problems, including herniated discs. With the pain meds I’m on, flipping over on the table shouldn’t be a problem anymore, and once the spine starts to straighten out, I may not even needs the meds anymore. Hoping….
Re: Helen Thomas
I try not to speak ill of the dead, but there are exceptions. Her death does not sadden me at all. That said, I’ll keep my mouth shut. -

That comment is hilarious. 🙂 -
#21 M42: She was quite possibly the most foul person to ever invade the press room. Her extreme left bent warped everything she touched. I wonder how well things are going for her now that she is face to face with the one she worshiped in HELL.

Adee, I posted the Helen Thomas link for you, and only then realized how old Politico deemed her to be. And you know you can trust every word, every numeral, every character, every blessed thought that is published on Politico.

#27 M42: from your linkie:
Absent more information that the state, with all its resources, was not able to cobble together a case to the satisfaction of the jury, I believe that Cervini’s death is one of the possible outcomes of a young man being out screwing around when he shouldn’t have been.
When I was growing up, that’s what I was told. Run with a bad crowd, bad things can happen. Act a certain way, dress a certain way, mouth off to the wrong person, and bad things can and do happen.
Neither President Obama nor Attorney General Eric Holder were not available for comment.When I was growing up it could have been said that I was a “high spirited yute”, or downright feral, depending on who was observing. I can still hear my parents tell me the same thing as the bold section above.
If you hang out with terds, eventually you will get it on your hands. If you are on someone else’s property at night you run the distinct risk of being shot. Nothing good ever happens after midnight. Birds of a feather . . . . if you run with a particular crowd, people will rightly assume that you behave as that crowd does.
I was particularly hard headed and it took quite a while for all of that to sink in. -

I’ve been wondering for a long time why Trayvon’s pop Tracy Martin looks so familiar. I finally snapped to a resemblance to Ray Nagin of post-Katrina Chocolateville. Seriously, if Nagin grew a beard, or Martin Sr shaved his, they would look like twins. This was the best closeup face-on pic I found of Nagin, but I remember him being all hang-dog looking after Katrina — not smiling.
-
Ray Nagin and the whole Katrina fiasco perfectly illustrates the gross incompetence of the Ds. When the schizzle hit the fan, it was all racism, all the time and, of course, it was all whitey’s fault, even though the failure to follow the plan laid out was epic.

Can you find the propaganda in this article?

OMG, Brother Phil, they are still using T’von’s 12-yr-old pic, the one where he looks like a young Denzel Washington! Where’s his FB pic, weed smoke curling up into his nose?

#32 – Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm ALL of it? (since it’s all tied to that completely disingenuous photo)
-
#32 Phil: Goebbels would have been proud. AP is guilty of flat out propaganda, race mongering, inciting of division and perhaps that of inciting riots. Not one word in that article actually described what happened other than Z shot T. This is a fantastic example of lies of omission. The blood that is going to be shed as a result of this ridiculous plethora of lies and distortion is going to be on the heads of those who propagate such lies. I wonder how they are going to try to defend themselves for this behavior when they stand in front of The Great White Throne?
-
#32 Phil
The AP might have caught some flak for using Trayvon’s baby pic. It is no longer at the top of your link. -
#36: The damage has been done in reinforcing the desired message. They took the photo down and now they can claim (falsely, professional organizations don’t make mistakes like that and stay in business) that it was just an accident. It clearly was not an accident and the truck load of one sided foul, lefty leaning racist bias in the article proves it.

HEADLINE: FAA Warns Americans: Don’t Shoot at the Drones
/snip
The FAA is working on regulations to safely integrate drones into the skies over the U.S., where manned aircraft are prevalent. The Congress gave the FAA until 2015 to develop the regulations, but the agency is behind schedule. FAA officials have estimated that once regulations are in place, thousands of drones will be in use across the country for a wide variety of purposes, from helping farmers figure out which crops need watering to tracking sea lions in remote rocky outcroppings to aiding search and rescue missions.We’re here form the Gov’t and we’re here to help. Yeah, right, just like the IRS is really a service to the American people and it would never be abused for political purposes, now would it? Why should we trust the govt to do what they say and restrict the drone program to purely beneficial, non political services to the people when history reveals ever more clearly that the gov’t will use the drones against the American people to further their own political gains and the usurpation of ever more power?

I have had a colostomy twice now, and I am unaware of any steps involving inflating the intestines, or “giving the air back”. Is that only for men patients?

I am unaware of any steps involving inflating the intestines, or “giving the air back”.
My wife said the same thing. When she had hers, I was in the waiting room; when they finally called me in to sit with her, the symphony must have already played most of its part. There were a few curtain calls on the way home, however.
Is that only for men patients?
Flatulence is it own reward, and something best shared with others. Even more so in confined spaces like cars and elevators, so the savor of its fullness can be better appreciated.
-
On the trip home from a colonoscopy, I would imagine any “left-over” hospital air would not have been in contact with anything that could cause any smells. But that’s just analysis, not from personal experience.

That odd underwear you found does not appear useful for normal hoomins.

Sans Image drop, I would have guessed a transitional stage in transgenderism. If that’s a word. -

I just signed us up for basic cable package because it was cheaper than just our internet service. Hubby tried to hook it up, an’ it ain’t working. We just plugged the antenna back in. Neither one of us are up to fighting the dang thing tonight. The only reason I wanted to hook it up was so that we wouldn’t have to keep moving our antenna around. For Channel 8, we hang it over the back of the couch, for 11 it does better on the arm of the couch or in a special spot by the window, for most other channels, top of the back of the couch or on top of the DVR, which we don’t use. And when the airplanes fly over, we have to be patient.

Grand total in the rain gauge for today is 0.05″. 🙁
Hope for something better tomorrow.
G’night all. -
Good morning, Hamsterville! I dawdled in bed enjoying the sound of rain coming down. We have not been getting huge totals — i.e. 0.2″, 0.4″, every few days — but the rains we have gotten including this morning are steady yet not torrential. Time to soak in rather than run off down to the curb. I hope everyone gets some rain today.

Well look what we have here:
Not guilty: The verdict in the manslaughter trial of Roderick Scott. After more than 19 hours of deliberations over two days, a jury acquitted the Greece man in the shooting death of Christopher Cervini, 17, last April.
“I just want to say thank you to the people who believed in me, who stood by me,” Scott said following the verdict. “I still have my regrets for the Cervini family; it’s still an unfortunate situation for them. I am happy that at least this chapter is over.”
Roderick Scott is black.
Christopher Cervini was not.
Cervini, along with others, were allegedly breaking to cars and stealing the contents. Scott confronted them. Cervini allegedly charged toward him despite being warned by Scott that he had a gun.
What assumption do you make — and is it reasonable — if you catch someone doing an apparently-illegal thing, you order them to stop and tell them you’re armed and instead of either stopping or fleeing they charge toward you?Well………………………….
You assume they’re going to attack you and have at least equal means of force to what you have announced (in close quarters this can include a knife, incidentally.)
It sucks that Cervini is dead.
But the proximate cause of his death was not Scott being armed. Scott had every right to be free from being assaulted and, if in reasonable fear that he was about to be dealt great bodily harm or death, to terminate that assault by any means available and necessary.
This is not open to discussion or debate.
You have a fundamental right to life.
You therefore have the same fundamental right to defend said life.
That right is yours whether you are white, black or Martian. -
I saw this banner article on Drudge last night but only got around to reading it just now.
HEADLINE: Move over NSA, here comes the Obamacare Big Brother database –
/SNIP
In these days of secret domestic surveillance by the intelligence community, rogue IRS officials and state tax agencies using private information for political purposes, and police electronically logging every license plate that passes by, the idea of the centralized Data Hub is making lawmakers and citizens nervous.
They certainly should be; the potential for abuse is enormous. The massive, centralized database will include comprehensive personal information such as income and financial data, family size, citizenship and immigration status, incarceration status, social security numbers, and private health information. It will compile dossiers based on information obtained from the IRS, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, the Veterans Administration, the Office of Personnel Management, the Social Security Administration, state Medicaid databases, and for some reason the Peace Corps. The Data Hub will provide web-based, one-stop shopping for prying into people’s personal affairs.Like we can really trust that this info will never be used for anything other than “regulating the exchanges” riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight, I believe that; right up there with Sandy Claws, the tooth fairy, the moon is made of cream cheese, and Trayvon Martin was just an innocent 12 year old when he got kilt.
-
#76 Katfish
As for Cervini’s family, as with Martin’s, what they need to examine is exactly how their son came to believe that he had the right to commit serious assaults upon other people and what responsibility, if any, they bear for that belief which their son expressed in his final moments before his assault was terminated in accordance with the fundamental rights of the person who was being assaulted.
T’von didn’t even live with either of his parents. He lived with some relatives near the school he attended (also near the house he had burglarized of some jewelry). After his final suspension from school, he was sent to stay with his pop’s current girlfriend in the gated townhome complex where he died. Looks like Trayvon’s parents were running out of places to dump his troublemaking butt. Makes one wonder how much actual influence or guidance they had on their little rascal.

Hit the jackpot with 0.9″ of rain from the morning shower I woke up to.
“to which I woke up” ?
“up to which I awoke” ?
🙂 -
I just finished edging, trimming and mowing my lawn in that order. If I had to guess, I would say the humidity level is somewhere around 150% (not possible I realize) as I could see my wake as I plowed through it. The sweat was profuse. The grass was too tall and wet to bag so there it sits. All that is left is to run the mower over the hard surfaces to vacuum up what will and use the blower on the rest.
Did I mention that it is really humid out here in glorious Copperfield? -
Good morning Hamsters. Coolish 73 this morning and overcast for a bit, then a light rain passed through about 9 but nothing to do a Snoopy Happy Dance over. Thought it was our apparent recent daily ration of 0.05″ coming early. Around 10:30 a darker cloud passed over and dropped a lot more, so at last check the plastic gauge was almost at 0.2″. That makes it the most we’ve had any day in the last week, which warrants at least toe tapping. Clouds are gathering around after a brief sunny interlude, so maybe we shall get more. The pastures have growing cracks and dry spots. 🙁

“My child is gifted. He’s also 29, unemployed, and living in my basement”
DAYAAM,….Just Dayaam!!I don’t respond to most of the negative emails I get from people who listen to my show or read my blog. This one struck a chord, though. Here’s a message I received from a guy named Nick, in reference to a discussion we had on the broad subject of parenting. I think we can all benefit from reading this and confronting the sad reality that this country is full of Nicks:
“Matt, I heard your horrible conversation today about parenting. A few comments in response:
1) Based on your remarks, I have to say I feel bad for your kids. You sound like the sort of person who never should have been a parent. You said you plain to teach your kids “how to think.” I guess this is common in right wing religious fundamentalist households. Personally, I let my child form his own conclusions about things. To impose your views on a child is tantamount to child abuse. Do them a favor, let them think FREELY.
2) You greatly exaggerate the importance of “chores.” Also, the idea that a kid should be forced to “get a job” is abhorrent. My son was very gifted so we gave him all the tools to succeed academically. This meant we didn’t turn him into slave labor and we certainly didn’t tell him he needed to go work behind a cash register. He concentrated on his school work, and we did our job as parents and financially supported him.
3) It’s easy to mock a “30 year old who lives with is parents.” My son is almost 29 and he’s been home with us since he graduated. Unfortunately the job market isn’t the greatest (maybe you hadn’t heard) and I’m not going to let him starve on the street. He has a college education, it’s pointless for him to be out working in a retail store or some other menial job. I will be here for him until he is able to get the job he deserves.
You need to grow up, get some life experiences and then maybe you’ll have the right to sermonize about parenting.
-Nick” -
#82 Continued because it’s so long.
And here’s the response I sent to him:
Dear Nick,
1) Tell you what. How ’bout I blindfold you, drive you out into the middle of the desert at night, and then leave you there without a map or a GPS? It’ll be great. You can just travel FREELY. After all, who am I to bring you to this place and then presume to tell you how to navigate? I’m just the guy that kidnapped you and dumped you into a hostile, cold wilderness. It would be presumptuous and authoritative of me to offer you direction and guidance. So I’ll let you wander around aimlessly until you collapse exhausted in a ditch, and are eaten slowly by wild scavengers. You’re welcome. I mean, I assume you’ll be grateful. I’ll merely be applying your parenting technique to the situation.
By the way, did you ever tell your kid not to play in the street? Did you instruct him about the dangers of hot stoves and fallen electrical wires? This is a quandary. See, if you imposed your anti-high voltage power line views on your kid, then apparently you’re guilty of abuse by your standards. However, if you didn’t, you’re guilty of reprehensible neglect by the standards of civilized human beings. I’m not an expert on parenting. I never claimed to be. But you don’t need to be an expert to know that one of the fundamental tasks of a parent — and this really speaks to the whole point of the endeavor — is to teach your child how to navigate the physical, moral, spiritual and intellectual dangers of life. This includes teaching them how to think, which could also be referred to as passing on your values and your worldview. If you have no interest in doing this, then I would suggest that you never really wanted a child — you wanted a friend. Now you have one. Living at home with you. Forever. Congratulations.
2) Chores schmores. What can they teach a kid? Discipline, obedience, and hard work? Screw that. What is this, the 50′s? Listen, Nick, don’t take this the wrong way, but what leads you to the conclusion that your son is “gifted”? He can’t mow the lawn, work a job, earn a living, pay a bill, apply a skill, or support himself, yet he’s “gifted”? What are his gifts, exactly? You know, something tells me an astronaut’s parents never have to inform people that their child is “gifted.” People sort of pick up on that based on context clues. They behold his accomplishments and admire his achievements. They can SEE his gifts. He uses them, applies them, refines them. Your son MIGHT have gifts — the jury is still out — but whatever they may be, they’ll atrophy and whittle away the longer he spends lounging in a bean bag chair eating macaroni and cheese.
3) So your brilliant and gifted 29 year old son would “starve” if he was forced to take care of himself? The “gifted” standard is getting lower by the day, isn’t it? I’ve been living independently and taking care of myself since before I could legally drink a Heineken. I guess that makes me a Nobel candidate — if your helpless grown adult son gets to set the bar for “gifted.”
The kind of oblivious snobbery you display used to be reserved for classes of nobility and royalty. Now, any drooling schlub who spent 4 years getting drunk and fornicating at college can claim to be “too good” for almost every available job. Your son isn’t above anyone. He certainly isn’t superior to hard working cashiers and retail clerks who support themselves, raise families and live full lives, as your little snowflake hides under his bed while mommy makes him hot cocoa and tells him he’s special.
News flash, Nick: Junior ain’t special. He graduated school, good for him. Anyone can do that if they’ve got money, time and no pressures or responsibilities from the outside world. Your little pumpkin doesn’t “deserve” a job. I wouldn’t hire him to dig a ditch, much less take on serious responsibilities of any kind. You can spend your whole life telling everyone what you and your son deserve, meanwhile the rest of us will be out in the world, earning, striving, accomplishing, living.
Nick, it’s somewhat peculiar that you chose to end your email by chastising me for not having “life experiences.” I’m two years younger than Nick Jr and I’m married with two kids. I’ve got a career in broadcasting and goals for the future that I’m steadily working toward achieving. I’m not exactly at the point where I’ve got enough material to write my memoirs, but I’ll get there one day. In any case, you, my friend, need to take that “life experiences” lecture and bring it home to the pudgy couch potato sleeping in your basement.
Thanks for the email.
God speed,
Matt -
#82, 83 SD: Unfortunately there are quite a few “Nicks” out there. Remember when Nanzi Pelousi boldly proclaimed that being on welfare and unemployment was good for the economy, or that we simply had to pass the bill to know what was in the bill, or that abortion is sacred ground? She was not booed off the stage for any of those comments, she was roundly applauded, by her own echo chamber that is.
Most people realize that Nick is a lunatic as is Nanzi. -

#96 – Dang! You musta came late. We need to have another one a them brew-ha-has. I met a lot of folks at the last one. Sarge and Elizabeth, Hogfan and his lovely Cracker bride, Smacktle, Mattzilla, Neocon, Wino and his future wife Nancy, Emmekelly, Southern Tragedy, Big Jolly, Daniel James, Jimb, Duhmoose (where’s he been?), and I’m sure a few others but I’m drawing a blank.

I don’t know if it was the regular crowd or not – prolly was – but I saw more coexist bumper stickers in the parking lot than at a Libertarian Convention.
One of the cousins is a retired HISD teacher and pretty liberal. He is rebuilding a 1940’s house off Irvington and the loop, I kept asking about his City of Houston permit issues, and he had a load of ’em and was fed up with them. He never did get that I was egging on his rants against big government policies. 😀
Oh and, hunnerd. -
Who sez the FLOTUS ain’t patriotic?

I don’t know if it was the regular crowd or not
It was.
He is rebuilding a 1940′s house off Irvington and the loop,
That’s my neighborhood! Do you know what street he lives on?

I always thunk it. Now I know it. All is lost:
Michigan used to be a symbol of industrial strength in manufacturing in this country. But thanks to a lot of Republican policies, the city is now filing for bankruptcy. Now, it’s the largest public sector bankruptcy in U.S. history, and the consequences could be devastating if you care about people. The already small force of police, firefighters and EMTs are in danger of future layoffs, that’s only going to make it worse. Roughly 30,000 retired workers are concerned about their pensions. You know, what they’re counting on. Make no mistake, Detroit is exactly what the Republicans want. They outsourced manufacturing jobs, attack unions, cut public services, and this is the result. Now they can wipe the slate clean because now they can start privatizing city assets.

102 Didn’t hear him say if he did. They bought it to fix up and move to, but has decided he will rent it out. Sounds like he is doing it right. His biggest complaint was trying to do all the rebuilding, wiring and plumbing mostly, in sections as he can afford it , but the inspectors won’t give him a permit unless its a complete job.

#104: Aren’t you supposed to peacefully subdue, sedate, place in the funny jacket with the arms that tie in the back, those who have obviously lost their friggen mind? The man is obviously an imminent danger to himself and/or others so the humane thing to do is get him in the looney bin – STAT!

#104, So Ed Schultz has been in Bob’s Stash?
You just CAN’T make this $#I!! up.
Beam me up Scotty,…… -
#104: One of the commentors said “that dude Rachel Madcow is probably gonna spew the same garbage tomorrow”

Broke the rain barrel bank today and got 0.2″, but that is likely it. Still overcast and breezy as if something is brewing nearby, though the radar says no.
A resident hawk is prowling the front yard for supper, criss-crossing it and diving to grab something in the lawn and then taking off to land in a treetop. Sometimes it makes several runs before seeking the treetop, apparently carrying something in its talons.
Can’t see what it might be.
Have spent several hours today reading comments attached to some of the many articles/opinion pieces on Detroit’s bankruptcy. Most instructive pulse taking I’d say, and probably better than polls. Most so far say no to a bailout, and let the bankruptcy court do its duty. Some say hell no bailout; let them reap what they have sown all these decades as a prime example to the rest of the country of what liberalism unchecked produces. A few try to seek a middle ground that would help pensioners while putting more burden on the currently working government employees regarding wage/benefit cuts. Even fewer obvious rainbows and unicorns liberals want to blame anybody but liberal Democrats and demand the rest of us bail out its fetid and decaying corpse. Interestingly more than a few admitted liberals have had enough and say no more $ thrown away. Then there are some rants by obviously unhinged liberals that blame the Republicans for 51 years of Democrat rule in the city, the Tea Party, conservatives, George Romney, Mitt Romney, the auto companies–well that’s just a sample. This is obviously one topic that will unhinge many liberals as the days go by. The finger no longer plugs the hole in the dyke. -

OK Iron Mary and SuperDaveThanks for thinking of us, but I was nowhere near the innanet when Tom lackadaisically took the gold ring.

I always thunk it. Now I know it. All is lost:
Crap bubba lookit Greece. What you saw there IS WHAT WE ARE GONNA SEE HERE. I said a loooonnnngggg time ago that Americans, all Americans were not prepared to do what it is going to take to get us back on a good fiscal footing. EVERYONE has their sacred cows. Just ask most any Tea Partyer if they would be willing to give up the home deduction on their taxes.
End of argument
Case made. -
We need to have another one a them brew-ha-has.
I’m game.
Now y’all work out the logistics that are not down the NASA area and I will make it. -

I did note that the newsies focused on the white folks that looked like they crawled out of *** forums. Yanno, toothless, tatted, skinfreds.

Have tissues handy if you read this story I found on FB.
As she stood in front of her 5th grade class on the very first day of school, she told the children an untruth. Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same. However, that was impossible, because there in the front row, slumped in his seat, was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard.
Mrs. Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed that he did not play well with the other children, that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath. In addition, Teddy could be unpleasant.
It got to the point where Mrs. Thompson would actually take delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen, making bold X’s and then putting a big “F” at the top of his papers.
At the school where Mrs. Thompson taught, she was required to review each child’s past records and she put Teddy’s off until last. However, when she reviewed his file, she was in for a surprise.
Teddy’s first grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work neatly and has good manners… he is a joy to be around..”
His second grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates, but he is troubled because his mother has a terminal illness and life at home must be a struggle.”
His third grade teacher wrote, “His mother’s death has been hard on him. He tries to do his best, but his father doesn’t show much interest and his home life will soon affect him if some steps aren’t taken.”
Teddy’s fourth grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is withdrawn and doesn’t show much interest in school. He doesn’t have many friends and he sometimes sleeps in class.”
By now, Mrs. Thompson realized the problem and she was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when her students brought her Christmas presents, wrapped in beautiful ribbons and bright paper, except for Teddy’s. His present was clumsily wrapped in the heavy, brown paper That he got from a grocery bag Mrs. Thompson took pains to open it in the middle of the other presents. Some of the children started to laugh when she found a rhinestone bracelet with some of the stones missing, and a bottle that was one-quarter full of perfume.. But she stifled the children’s laughter when she exclaimed how pretty the bracelet was, putting it on, and dabbing some of the perfume on her wrist. Teddy Stoddard stayed after school that day just long enough to say, “Mrs. Thompson, today you smelled just like my Mom used to.” After the children left, she cried for at least an hour.
On that very day, she quit teaching reading, writing and arithmetic. Instead, she began to teach children. Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. As she worked with him, his mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he responded. By the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class and, despite her lie that she would love all the children the same, Teddy became one of her “teacher’s pets..”
A year later, she found a note under her door, from Teddy, telling* her that she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life.
Six years went by before she got another note from Teddy. He then wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was still the best teacher he ever had in life.
Four years after that, she got another letter, saying that while things had been tough at times, he’d stayed in school, had stuck with it, and would soon graduate from college with the highest of honors. He assured Mrs. Thompson that she was still the best and favorite teacher he had ever had in his whole life.
Then four more years passed and yet another letter came. This time he explained that after he got his bachelor’s degree, he decided to go a little further. The letter explained that she was still the best and favorite teacher he ever had. But now his name was a little longer…. The letter was signed, Theodore F. Stoddard, MD.
The story does not end there. You see, there was yet another letter that spring. Teddy said he had met this girl and was going to be married. He explained that his father had died a couple of years ago and he was wondering if Mrs. Thompson might agree to sit at the wedding in the place that was usually reserved for the mother of the groom.
Of course, Mrs. Thompson did. And guess what? She wore that bracelet, the one with several rhinestones missing. Moreover, she made sure she was wearing the perfume that Teddy remembered his mother wearing on their last Christmas together.
They hugged each other, and Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompson’s ear, “Thank you Mrs. Thompson for* believing in me. Thank you so much for making me feel important and showing me that I could make a difference.”
Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back. She said, “Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn’t know how to teach until I met you.”
(For you that don’t know, Teddy Stoddard is the Dr. at Iowa Methodist Hospital in Des Moines that has the Stoddard Cancer Wing.)
Warm someone’s heart today. . . pass this along. I love this story so very much, I cry every time I read it. Just try to make a difference in someone’s life today? tomorrow? Just “do it”. -
