FYI I changed my handle. I am in school obtaining my CDL. The class calls me Grandma and it has stuck. Not because I am slow but because I am older. I am the second oldest in the class. I have become a life mentor to many classmates. They wanted to call me Mom but I said no to that. I said as a Grandma I could enjoy their company, give advise but I am not their Mom, Grandmaโs can kick their butts home. ๐๐๐
