Forget about em! "Ship in the night." Indeed. Hmph.<br /><br />It's my personal philosophy and belief that every person has a story to tell, and every life is enriched exponentially by every story they take the time to read or hear. We each have a different human experience, and the more open your mind, the more awesome it can be. When you feel the twinge of hurt from comments like theirs, just think of how pathetically small their little spheres of life and experience must be, if they reject others so.<br /><br />To me personally...I want badly to connect to this whole military thing, but have failed to fit in with my FRG. You give me hope that there is intelligent life out there, not necessarily revolving around bingo, bake sales, and mindless awful gossip. I hope that maybe when we PCS who-knows-where, at some-time-soon (??lol) my next FRG might have more ladies like you.Julienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163679024619392733.post-69596046870963157702011-06-06T03:02:30.112+02:002011-06-06T03:02:30.112+02:00Some people just have no manners, no social skills...Some people just have no manners, no social skills, and a huge chip on their shoulders.

I always said if I can help just one person...I'll keep doing this....plus, it's been a great outlet for me to keep writing. I started freelancing magazine articles recently too...and it makes writing much easier when you try to do it all the time. Speaking of that Sue, so GREAT to hear from you! If you get a chance, please post your blog address. You lead the life that all of us at one time or another wanted to lead...even if for a short time. I love to read about all the places you've discovered! I sure miss everyone...****Veteran Military Wife at Life Lessons of a Military Wife****https://www.blogger.com/profile/14858503892858989499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163679024619392733.post-5432137879226625582011-06-05T20:44:42.896+02:002011-06-05T20:44:42.896+02:00Hi Raquel!

With all the time working together at the USO, I am sorry I didn't take more time to get to know you... it is the work-a-holic gene that I am cursed with. I don't know what the mean comments were, but it is truly sad that people can be so mean and hurtful. I was touched by this post, and continue to enjoy reading your past posts too. You are an inspiration, truly, and I am so grateful to have met you. Keep it up, I enjoy coming here; and thanks for all you do!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17144428490087159156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163679024619392733.post-76846150691768903692011-06-05T16:25:18.976+02:002011-06-05T16:25:18.976+02:00are you kidding?

(I don't have very many followers - it's really just a good way to let old friends know what's going on with my life) But in my excitement of finding your blog with all the info about Germany, I had to share with them what I had found...a window into what I was in for! It has been SO helpful! I really think people who insist on being online are small individuals. I mean, really, taking the time to write "go away"? All they have to do is ignore you and surf to a different page if they found you so offensive in your quest for assistance. some people! *eyeroll*.<br />Anyway. Thank you for all of your info! keep up the good work!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12129315923358643801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163679024619392733.post-43535067282304768262011-06-05T11:43:12.014+02:002011-06-05T11:43:12.014+02:00R- I can't believe what an asshole that person...R- I can't believe what an asshole that person was!!! I will make sure NOT to visit that website.<br /><br />BTW: I have enjoyed your blog since 2008 and I know that if there is information I need (even if I don't know I need it yet)... it can be found on your blog or by posting a question on your facebook page. You are great and when I grow up I want to be just like you.

This blog has made the transition so much easier! Thank you a million for all of the great advice and tips.

I would have hoped that like-minded people would be a little more welcoming. I have a few blogs I follow - typically nuritrition/fitness, Rheumatoid Arthritis or poetry blogs. But, I read some of yours before coming to Belgium and found them very helpful. I didn't make the connection to your posts on SHAPE families until I clicked through to your Volksmarch video. <br /><br />I think you do a service to many people with your blog. And if not, they don't have to read it. At the very least, you have a record to share with family and friends. Keep at it. Ignore the online bullies. People hide behind screen names and think they have license to treat others poorly. (Some of the worst bullying I have seen is on the support groups for Rheumatoid arthritis.) Shameful, really.<br /><br />Thank you for writing and sharing your experiences!Kristy Celennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163679024619392733.post-24891544243960188022011-06-05T09:48:30.541+02:002011-06-05T09:48:30.541+02:00I never thought to question your motives -- I'...I never thought to question your motives -- I'm just happy to have all the great information you offer! Our move to Germany would have been much harder without your advice.
