My Kind Of Teacher

For Grip in SD

A former Gunny Sergeant , having served his time with the Marine Corps, took a new job as a school teacher, but just before the school year started he injured his back when he fell from a cliff while rock climbing. As part of his therapy he was required to wear a fiberglass cast around the upper part of his body.

Fortunately, the cast fit under his shirt and wasn't that noticeable. On the first day of class, he found himself assigned to the toughest students in the school.


The smart-alec punks, having already heard the new teacher was a former Marine, were leery of him and decided to see how tough he really was, before trying any pranks.


Walking confidently into the rowdy classroom, the new teacher opened the window wide and sat down at his desk.

When a strong breeze made his tie flap, he picked up a stapler, opened it up flat, and 'Bam, Bam, Bam!'  promptly stapled the tie to his chest. 


Dead silence ... He had no trouble with discipline that year.

Love the Kids...

Why do you love your kids?
1. For what they've done.
2. For what they're doing.
3. For what they're going to do.


Be VERY Proud of your kids... they deserve it!
Oh, and TELL THEM, OFTEN!


Oh, and this works for Grand Kids, too!

Cinnamon Cashew Roasted Nuts

1 egg white
1 tablespoon water
1/2 t. almond extract  [ Optional}


4 c. almonds , walnut, cashews or pecans

1/2c. Splenda or if you are die-hard organic, use Sugar!
1/4 t. salt   [ Optional]
 2 or 3 Tablespoons. Cinnamon

Whisk 1st three liquid ingredients together, and pour over nuts,
Stir to coat very well. 


Stir last three ingredients together, and then Sprinkle over nuts and stir again really well.


Bake on parchment paper-lined or lightly sprayed baking sheet with edges. 

[ I skip the paper or light spray... they don't stick much, and scraping with a spatula every 20 minutes is sufficient.]

250 degrees F for 1 hr.
Take out every 20 minutes, stir them up with a spatula to keep them from clumping togher,

and then put ‘em back in oven.

Cool. Store in zip lock bags or in tight jar.
23 nuts Equal 1 point Weight Watchers,

but I doubt if you can stop at 23.
REALLY YUMMY!!
