    Just sayin. Reading your posts, you seem manic or something. Thats not a good thing to be if youre behind the wheel of a big rig.

    Was it The Peter Paul and Mary Song?
    Did it make you uncomfortable?

    I used to have two sets of copies. Lost them in a move West. When I lived in Washington, I was lucky enough to enjoy a free library membership. I used to check out this HUGE rare tome with all three in the one book. That is how Tolkien first wrote the LOTRs.
    It's a story that has stuck with me. A go to story. I could read it over and over again. I am not like this nun I used to work with when I was justa kid of 16. She could quote the WHOLE book by memory. Can you imagine that?

    Anyway. Yeah. Maybe I run on but. I listen to stories as well.

    I am not gonna give up.
    I think I can do this.

    I spoke with a woman at the CDL school who started at FedEx, took the CDL Course, passed her Class A CDL and yeah. - Is now working in the office right now but hey! She passed and. She could always do OTR. OTR is just working out for her right now.
    Anyway. She encouraged me to not give up. I am gonna try. Class starts Monday.

    As for those who have found my thread and seem to have locked in on me as some sort of target.
    I actually have tried to remain reserved. Reserve my judgments. There is the saying. Give as good as you get. Then there is deflect, dismiss and ignore. I do not like to dismiss or ignore. You just never know.
    Woman at the CDL school said it like this. "Yeah. They can tell a good story as well."
    If they don't want to hear mine they don't need to open this thread.

    And as for that smart nice young man @TravR1. How could I resist speaking with him after he apologized so? What a gentleman. I just picked a random song that I thought fit. Because I thought it was wonderful that he would care enough to apologize at such an early time in the morning like that, and in such a gentlemanly way. I honestly wanted him to have a really good day and a safe drive.
    Sides. I gotta hear more from him. He said he is one of us @Eowyn and... there's a story there. :)

    You will do it. All of Middle Earth depends upon it. And when you get your CDL you will have dropped that evil ring into the fire pits of Mordor.

    Nope.
    Assumptions and Opinions are like Cake 'oles
    Everyone has one
    @88228822 Do you have something you do different with that product?
    Personally I don't eat it.

    Been sittin' here thinking of what I wanted say.
    I read another poster here who was documenting their journey through CDL school and then now ~ onward after obtaining their CDL. They said that at the end of the day there is some reflection and yes sometimes some tears.
    I was told at the community college that I need to believe in myself now, as much as I believed in my children.
    One thing I do know I told my children was this.
    Hold on to Hope and no matter what life demands let there always be joy. If you think you have lost it. Look for it and keep on looking for it. Never give up until you have found it.
     
    Just passing by and dwells40 Thank this.
