Plus, to paraphrase an old commercial, I've got questions, you've got answers. This forum is a great resource, and I know I thoroughly enjoy visiting and learning.
Welcome to the August group, it looks like a good group. I guess this is like a support group or having somebody sitting with you while you’re waiting to have a baby.

Greetings Everyone,

I have been lurking around for a couple of weeks now. I have been reading some threads about how the DPS might be getting things turned around down in Austin.

I thought I would conduct my own little experiment. I have not received a pin # yet, so I sent an email this morning requesting one. Lets just see how long it takes for a reply to my request!

This is a great place to hang out and wait and learn a few things along the way. :txflag:

Eeepp! Well! I hope you got an eyefull! "rlol" :smilelol5: :lol: I'm just biding my time till I get the good news. Phew, it's not easy being patient. Every time I see somebody get approved or get the license I get the urge to check my status. :shock:

You'll be getting your pin soon, I hope. :thumbs2:

Thanks Joe! :mrgreen:

It seems that the July group is zipping right through. I'm also surprised we have not seen a Sep. thread yet, Iam anxious to see a new rookie group!

Good luck to you Joe! :txflag:
