    Sad Vent :(

    Hi Holly From what I remember there were always two kinds of people on the oversea military bases (and stateside also…). The people who were miserable and complained that they don’t want to be there the entire tour, and the people who made best out of wherever they got. I really think the...

    Good morning Rosalind If you read some of the replies you will know you aren't the only one who assumed that being "nice" was what I was doing. And I guess that's my limit in creative writing. I think people can make anything as simple (or complicated) as you want it to be. All I can say...

    conny63malies How would I feel if my children get hurt or killed?... Well, I'd be devestated of course. So my DH and I followed our instinct and used our best judgement and did what we see fit. I hope you do the same (follow your instinct, I mean) if the time ever comes.
