- Hey, Mrs. Chili! Whatcha readin'?
I'm making my way through David Sedaris' Me Talk Pretty One Day and am skimming through short stories to offer my students as models for their own writing. I'm also eagerly awaiting the next installment of the Outlander series (which reminds me, I've got to call my library.....) -

I saw your comment on tenseteacher and had to come check your blog out. I am an instructor for introductory writing for mass communication. A major part of my class is teaching grammar and punctuation along with journalism writing. I loved getting to read about you and your students. I think you are handling the megadeath dave situation better than I would. I am still new at this, so who am I to even comment on your situation, but I think you are dealing with it in the right way. I always forget to include the higher-ups when dealings get sticky with students, so that is a positive thing. I look forward to keeping up with you and your students. Thanks for your willingness to share with your blog!

I’m thrilled to have found your blog. I teach instructional technology to K-20 educators (by chance) and college writing (by choice)
I’ve enjoyed reading your blog–I subscribed and will add you to my blogroll as a resource.
I look forward to reading more.

Hi there — I’ve just started a teaching blog for myself, and came across yours. Can I add you to my blogroll?
Thanks,
Ms. Education

Ms. Education, I’m happy you’re here and I’d LOVE for you to add me to your blogroll. If you come back and read this, leave me YOUR blog address – I tried to email you at the address you left with this comment above to ask for your URL, but my message came back to me as undeliverable. When I know where to find you, I’ll add you to my blogroll, too.
Your avatar says “deaf child at play.” Are you in Deaf Ed.?

Dear Mrs. Chili/fellow blogger,
I would love your opinion on online privacy and applications that support this concept. May I send you an email?

I don’t normally tout my own site, but I think my latest post is right up your alley since you are the Grammar Goddess and all.

Hey mrschili,
I just turned in my MS revision, and my agent will see what he can do. If no one picks it up in six months or so, we’ll self publish.
I just posted on my “tour” plans. If you know of book stores in your area that might host such an event, I hope you’ll leave me a comment.
Hope you and all the chilis had a wonderful holiday. We are all great here.
All the best,
Dr. B

I’m also an English teacher in my country, Indonesia. Nice for you to know that English is the first foreign language in my country and is taught from elementary scholl to college. But, to the best of my knowledge, only few learners succeded learning it. Sometimes it hurts when it’s said that it’s all due to the English teachers’ incompetence.
At least I have done my best.
