We have another fantastic article from Rainy that everyone is going to love. It's called:

How A Strong Woman Deals With Offensive Behavior From Men

This article is filled with fantastic stories and truly exemplifies why I'm such a huge Rainy fan. She really handles life's difficulties the old school way. She's tough as nails and doesn't take any baloney from anyone. It's such a welcome relief to know that there are still people out there who won't choose to be meek and play the victim at every opportunity.

It's no secret that I can't stand this new "poor me" world we're living in today where everyone is constantly complaining that they're being abused, repressed, discriminated against, or offended by every little thing. I was raised in a world where you didn't go crying to your mom or seek professional counseling or start a shaming campaign on social media because someone said they didn't like your shoes.

Remeber "Sticks and Stones?" Rainy and I do.

This article is a hilarious look at how Rainy handles obnoxious men on the road. I think the folks here will appreciate her old school approach to things. Rainy reminds me of a cat - they seem so pleasant and cute until you aggravate them, and then quicker than you can sneeze you have a gash across your nose.

I love that approach. I wish more people would handle their business with a little toughness and character like Rainy does. I really respect her for that.

You're really going to enjoy this article. It's full of hilarious stories and sage advice:

How A Strong Woman Deals With Offensive Behavior From Men

I just read Rainy's article and it took me back to a hilarious incident that happened 17 years ago after I got my CDL and was driving for CRST. I only drove for them for a short time and have not driven truck since because of a bad experience with that company (not anything sexual or gender related in any way) that left me too gun-shy to think of returning to truck driving until recent dire economic circumstances left me with no option but to give truck driving a second try. My bad experience with CRST 17 years ago is a different topic for a different post thread so I won't get into that here.

So, back to the funny moment that Rainy's article took me back in time to.

My assigned co-driver and I were out on our first team run, fresh out of the trainer trucks. I was waiting in a bottleneck trying to get out of a truck stop parking lot when another driver for another company saw me and yelled over the CB "Hey Miss CRST! Show me your tits!"

I grabbed a Sharpie marker and the large white lightweight piece of cardboard that my co-driver and I were using as a sun block for our truck's windshield, and I wrote "Your tits" on the cardboard in big bold bright red letters and held it up against the window for that driver to see. My co-driver never laughed so hard in his life. He never expected that. Neither did the driver who made that request over the CB.

Personally, I thought it was funny and I still laugh about it when I look back on it. I have a very wicked sense of humor - and a rapier wit to match.
