I Pledge

I Pledge to Rate !!

I always rate fairly. I will always rate a swap I receive within one day of getting my swap. You can always PM me if you have questions.

I'm not an-over swapper, I take on only what I think I can do at any one time and expect of my swapping partners to do the same. I obsess over my swaps until they are sent out. Kinda OCD like that. I will always be ON-time and unless I have some "uncontrollable" reason, like the earth is coming to an end or something, I'd always let you know "no matter" what !

As a member of the Swap-Bot Flaker group and seeing firsthand the amount of flakers on here. If I do not get any contact whatsoever prior to a swap being due I will rate you a 3 (sorry) thats how it has to be, no matter what. If you contact me prior to the due date we can surely work something out.

About Me

Update about me.

So.. I'm Lorraine, but all my friends and family call me Rainy, so be my guest and do just that! I was born and raised in Southern California, then lived in Missouri over 19 years. Well September 2016 has now taken me even further east to Louisville Kentucky! I work for a healthcare system.

Long story short: My two oldest sons now live on their very own in Missouri ! My oldest,Michael, works for the Center for Autism , and middle son has two part time jobs. My youngest Joseph is a Sophomore in High School - where is the time going ?

I've been married to my husband Ed over 31 years now. I met him on a blind date through a mutual friend, we married 2-months later on Valentine's Day 1987 when we eloped in Las Vegas, NV.

I'm a MUNZEE freak !! My Munzee ID is RainyC

Favorite Music

So.. music. I love pretty much most music.. rap not so much, its too rude for me - IMHO. I also don't listen to that head banging metal..

Some of my favorites: Rob Thomas ~ Matchbox 20 ~ Sammy Hagar ~ Most 80's Music (Morrissey, Culture Club, Berlin, The Cure, Depeche Mode, OMD, Souxsie and the Banshees, New Order, DuranDuran, Thompson Twins, and Pat Benetar)

  • Anything burned on a CD with any of my favorites would be greatly appreciated - I especially look for 80's songs!

Favorite Books

Comment: OH, OH, OH...I KNEW I was going to be super-impressed but WOW...your pages just blew me away!!! What an outstanding effort. I've gained so many ideas for the future from you, thank you. (I kinda feel sorry for my partner now-mine was not nearly so artistic :( ) Thank you, thank you, thank you for such an amazing swap!!!
Response: LOL.. well thank you !! It was my pleasure ! I have to tell you, my son wanted my pages so bad (before I added in the journnaling) he loved the color and wanted to use it as his calendar. I'm so very happy you liked it.. and we all learn from others.. I'm sure yours was fine ! Thank you for my <3
