[NAGDU] Guide dog from the US

Sat Jan 2 23:19:51 UTC 2016

Well I'll go you one public and just tell you I don't prefer dealing
with International People. I don't trust them! And especially business
dealings,. I probably wouldn't marry someone from another country
because I feel like they all have contacts with folks from their own
country and you could suddenly find yourself in a world of trouble and
not know why all because of a simple misunderstanding or disagreement.
Now at Guide dog school I have met some Canadians who were wonderful
and delightful and we met some great Brits at Disney World too. Casual
passing cov is as far I I will go. Oh yeah and at church we had some
African members and pastor who were great hearts as well. Generally,
though I keep my distance and I DO NOT like getting a foreign rep over
the phone because it seems the language and cultural barriers are
magnified! Not bashing or being critical but those are my personal
feelings and I stick with them.
