Hello! I am also the proud owner of a guinea pig (I did have two at one point in time)! My husband, however, would probably agree with you labeling them as livestock (the no-neck variety). Our zoo has expanded since then but I hope your next livestock adventures work out in your favor! Mtubbs (talk) 05:02, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Your page got my attention right away because your user name is “Votecoffee.” You have the most creative “About the Author Page” I have seen thus far.

Your fundamentals for being a good teacher are so very true. Aartz001 (talk) 02:46, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello Votecoffee,

You are obviously my kind of person. Not only do we share similar thoughts concerning education and teaching, interestingly enough, there are several possible connect points that go well beyond our mutual interest in or passion for teaching. First, I was once a resident of your birth county, St. Mary's of Maryland. You mentioned Piney Point, as being near a military hospital, but did you know...Piney Point served the site of a military prison during the Civil War? Additionally, you attended Granby High School, the birthplace I believe of what was many years ago my favorite wrestling move! And finally, you apparently are willing to cast a ballot for the magic beans! You might say I have a similar sentiment, as I once owned a coffee shop.

Sincerely,

I completely agree with your teaching philosophy. I have struggled with Math my whole life, and didn't start to feel comfortable in the subject until my Junior year of high school. I had a wonderful teacher who gave me confidence and taught me not to be afraid of math. I think that was my whole problem. I never thought I was good at it, so I never had the confidence to be comfortable and outgoing in the subject. I really believe it was my teacher that got me interested in the subject and confident in it to this day. Thanks for sharing and good luck to you! Kfuot001 (talk) 15:24, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm a Mathematics major as well and I completely agree with you on the need to have a passion for the subject one is pursuing. You should love the subject and want to teach it otherwise you will not enjoy teaching the subject. Kthom080 (talk) 01:49, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Hey!, well, I am from Tappahannock, VA, but worked in Southern Maryland, and the coffee shop is really a story of love gone wrong...if I had any musical talent, I could write country songs.Gsiss001 (talk) 19:07, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
