From: NAGDU [mailto:nagdu-bounces at nfbnetIt has nothing to do with guide
dogs; that portion of this thread will no longer be discussed. I have asked
that that kind of message not be posted here, and I don't want it to become
a thread. I only want to apologize to those who visit this list who live in
other nations.

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.
