"Around here, we don't look backwards for very long... We keep moving forward, opening up new doors…read moreand doing new things because we're curious... and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths." ~Walt Disney - Someone said that a good teacher must be able to put himself/herself in the place of those who find learning hard, and that is so true. And that is what separates good teachers from bad teachers. Yet another hallmark of a good teacher is the ability to teach children how to think, not what to think. Good teachers are not thought dictators. And that is part of my personal philosophy with my grandchildren, to put myself in their shoes and to teach them how to think. That's why I love places like Lakeshore Learning where I find educationally valuable gifts that equip my grandchildren how to learn - and gifts that are fun too. Next to giving experiences, that's the best investment I can make in them. And I am an investor in important things, not crap. - "Success is a choice; you choose it and work it out! Excellence is deliberate and so it is intentionally pursued. No successful person ever remained idle for success to knock his/her door for him/her." ~Israelmore Ayivor, Dream Big!: See Your Bigger Picture!

Voertman's helped me to manage paying for my education at University of North Texas; the year was…read more1981, and I had just graduated from Denton High School in May of that year; I graduated with honors from Denton High School and started college the following September and graduated from UNT in 1985. I then actually applied for the job of Police Officer for our local police department, and was interviewed by a sergeant in the living room of our Roberts St. house, where I grew up with my three sisters and brother Scott, who was a very good French Horn player who went to the world famous and notorious North Texas State University, where he honed his musical performance skills to the apex playing in the Washington, D.C. based National Symphony Orchestra; his pastor wife, Leslie playing alongside. The National Symphony Orchestra is simply the best representative for these United States on the performance stage, and they share a place in my heart, because I actually was blessed with the sacred fortune of joining the orchestra in St. Petersburg, and Moscow in the year 1990. Students of history will remember that the Berlin Wall came crash down, and I was blessed with fortune of witnessing history in the moment of finality and sincere graceful end. Take it from someone who actually stood in freezing snow, in Budapest then the former Soviet Union, now basically retired and resting. Give Caesar what is Caesar's, and dare enough to turn over the evil tax collectors's tables; Jesus Christ saved us all with His blood shed on the cross at Calvary; I am blessed with a short enough memory to fill in the blanks of my rough and tumble daily routines, all of which are currently being stress tested, found to be safe and robust and currently found to be lacking in some ways, including the nebulous and vital ways. Remember, one cannot "study" for a typical physician ordered stress test, unless you consider the very logical process of changing our dietary habits. If we are really prepared to go the whole hog, we really should be positively anchored in our Lord Jesus and continue to improve when we can manage. Please remember to be your brother or sister's keeper and continue to #PayItForward to the family members who love you and help to improve. Cheers, Mark F.

They advised me about what needed to remain unopened for return.

We purchased two cafeteria tables for a few grand and one would expect at that price that the company would stand behind their products. When it arrived, both tables were bent up horribly and almost unusable. I contacted the company and they immediately blamed the delivery company. I have never ordered something this expensive and had it arrive in this bad of shape. The few times I have, the companies have always assumed responsibility for the damage caused by shipping companies. I even had a company change their shipper's of choice due to multiple damages. Worthington on the other hand prefers the route of placing blame and leaving without as much as a good day. Judging by other reviews I have seen, Worthington has major quality control issues that they need to fix. They also need a new customer service center, as I am pretty sure the person who helped us was eating lunch while on the phone with me. Nothing against eating some lunch, just don't chew while talking to me, it makes it hard to understand what you are saying to me. Due to the amount of money spent, and lack of support from Worthington, we had to keep and use these tables. I managed to get them usable enough, but whomever sits on the end chairs slowly slides off since the chairs are bent like the minute hand of a clock hitting the 2. I would never recommend this company, and would love my nearly $3000 back. Thank you for reading, I have been your angry author.
