Here are the fill-ins:
1. The best teacher I ever had was too many to mention.
My first really good teacher would have been Miss Khun. She was my second grade teacher. One of Suzanne’s favorite teachers was also a favorite of mine. She was Anna Dean Pennington. She was a no nonsense kind of teacher. She taught U. S. History.
2. The worst teacher I ever had was Mrs. Creamer and Mr. Pace .
For both of them it was their first year teaching. Both were very bad at what they did. I had both of them in the ninth grade. Mr. Pace quit before the end of the year. Mrs. Creamer failed everyone in the class but one.
3. I recently learned how to nothing. I have always been perfect at everything.
Actually, Suzanne found out how we could shoot overhead shots. We had both been working on how to do that. She found a YouTube video that answered all of our questions. We don’t have it perfect just yet, but we know what we need to do to make it perfect. We just need about $50 worth of hardware.
4. I think everyone should know how to perform CPR.
I think everyone should know how to swim and perform basic water rescues, like throwing a lifesaver. Everyone should also know basic first aid and CPR. When I was a teenager, I taught CPR and First Aid for the Red Cross. That was a lot of fun. I taught at universities, colleges, churches, daycare centers. I also taught 500 dentists CPR at one time. You may remember back in 1979/80, when there was a rash of people dropping dead at the dentist’s office. The local dental association called the Red Cross in a panic. They wanted to get all the dentists in the area trained in CPR that night. I got a call just after school and was asked if I could do it that night. I got together the Junior Rescue Squad and we trained them all in one night.
I was the only certified teacher, but all the crew knew CPR like the back of their hands because we practiced every week. I was a CPR instructor and our adult advisor was also a CPR instructor. We drilled constantly. I have only performed CPR a handful of times in real life, but it was comforting to know that we had drilled so much it was instinct.

Naturally they were dropping dead. They were at the DENTIST! They are always good for a heart attack or two with all those torture devices. AND how do they deal with the pain they are going to inflict? With a NEEDLE. "I'll just give you this shot of Novocaine to DEADEN the pain." Yeah, okay, not gonna work! You'd have to give me the CPR *before* I went to the dentist. :)
ReplyDeleteI love you, my Zing.
Too funny, Moogie. This kinda reminds me of The Good Doctor. I think you would react a little like the girl at the beginning of Shakiest Gun In The West. I love you, my Zing! Have a blessed week.
DeleteThank you for joining in on the Friendly Fill-Ins! My English teacher during my junior year of high school was a first-time teacher, and he was pretty darn awful. We only finished reading one book with him that year, because if he didn't like what we were reading, he would just cancel that book's lessons. I guess he hadn't read many classics prior to teaching our class. And CPR is such a perfect answer for #4. My high school had a required CPR course. We were also taught proper Heimlich maneuvers for both adults and children, which I actually had to use on a 1-year-old I was babysitting when started choking on a Goldfish. I was so grateful I had taken that course. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteGoldfish the cracker or goldfish the animal? We have to know.
DeleteOnce I was visiting a fried of mine and his wife. The friend's name was Billy Bob and his wife's name was Cathy. He was my driver with EMS. I was an EMT at the time. Their baby daughter, about a year old or so, was playing in the room while we talked. I looked at her and she was turning blue. She had gotten into an ashtray and swallowed and inhaled cigarette butts. One was still lit when she swallowed it.
Billy Bob ran to the fire station and got the ambulance. He did not wait for the doors to open all the way and he drug the lights and siren horn off the top of the ambulance.
Meanwhile, I started infant CPR on the baby. It just so happened that the highest ranking paramedic in the state of South Carolina, and a friend of mine, lived across the street.
Billy Bob pulled up in the extremely damaged ambulance and off we went. We got a state trooper escort to the hospital because we had no lights or siren.
Along the way, the paramedic, Donnie, and I got the baby's heart started and she started breathing again.
Life Flight was at the hospital when we arrived and they took her to the state hospital in Columbia, South Carolina. The baby was fine. She had some burns in her airway from the lit cigarette. She recovered just fine. Have a blessed week.
Knowing CPR is so important. Have a great Labor Day weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt is such an important skill to know. Have a blessed week.
DeleteCPR is critical for everyone to know!
ReplyDeleteThank you for participating in the fill-ins, great answers. Clearly the teacher wasn't doing her job properly if everyone except one child failed-yikes.Excellent answer for #4, I used to be certified in that a long time ago, but definitely could use another class. Have a nice weekend!
