Topic 24555 | Page 2
Oh no, I get one every other day at a minimum.
I wrote "Im not the whiney girl type"
Lol that's what's great about you Rainy, what you see is what you get. Been the same from the start. Always positive, takes no prisoners.

I'll just say that my first post here was a whiny complaining post which garnered a fast attitude adjustment by some great people here which is paying off big time! Many thanks to all the awesome helpful people here and all that you do!

oops! My big mouth opened on that one...but Brian says thats what is great about me . He needs a DOT random drug test! Must have been smoking something.
When I met my PSD trainer he asked if I had a problem with a male trainer. I said, "Can You teach me to drive?" He confirmed he could. I then said, "In that case you could be a purple gorilla smoking a pickle and i would be happy". Then they gave ME a DOT drug test lol
