We understand. Words...Vent to your heart's content. We understand. Words are good when you're feeling put out.<BR/><BR/>I find that so many readers are so shallow-minded when it comes to responding to something I've written. Whether it's a blog entry, a comment on a blog, something where I've been quoted or a column I've published in the newspaper, the real anti-my-position rants tend to be from people who obviously haven't read into what I'm trying to say.<BR/><BR/>I write subtly. They choose to ignore the nuance, the spirit of the message.<BR/><BR/>In your case, you're so within your right to express yourself in this manner. Anyone who takes you to task for doing so is an absolute boor.carmilevyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00360045114379957605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10605460.post-1142638569524520172006-03-17T18:36:00.000-05:002006-03-17T18:36:00.000-05:00LindaI imagine the houses that are available in Ma...Linda<BR/>I imagine the houses that are available in Manhattan are most likely primarily college houses, so you wouldn't want to live there anyways...normally they dont' look hot on the outside, but are better on the inside, but still probably located in prime college kid living spots...not great place to live with kids! <BR/><BR/>You and I have talked about different places around Ft.Riley...Wamego may have more available housing, but I can't say for sure. :( Also there's tons of little towns around, not on the Manhattan side so much, but on the West side of Fort Riley. Herington is a wonderful little town...I have family that lives there and there's normally lots of homes for rent and sale there. It's 30 miles from Ft. Riley and honestly the drive is very boring...but it's there. <BR/><BR/>As far as the lady on the blog, humph...it's really easy for her to say what she is, as you said she's not in a mass military move, she has NO IDEA. <BR/><BR/>I'm praying for you and the housing situation. I pray that the home God has planned for you in KS will fall easily into your lap.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10605460.post-1142484491459826642006-03-15T23:48:00.000-05:002006-03-15T23:48:00.000-05:00sometimes ARMY life sucks.

Greg and I rented for a year before we bought our house in an area where the housing rates just went UP and UP and UP. Even if it doesn't work out right when you hit the ground, it will settle in eventually.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10605460.post-1142470466325441212006-03-15T19:54:00.000-05:002006-03-15T19:54:00.000-05:00Vent away! Nothing you stated seemed unreasonable...Vent away! Nothing you stated seemed unreasonable. You want as smooth a transition as possible. It is hard, when, after nearly a year of searching, little has changed. I don't think you should be flagged for clarifying that you have been organized from day one; some military personnel (or families thereof) have NO idea what others have to deal with. To clarify - I am not part of a military family; I live close to FT Bragg (NC) and am friends with many soldiers' families.rennratthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08258514296905380163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10605460.post-1142443065612243152006-03-15T12:17:00.000-05:002006-03-15T12:17:00.000-05:00Linda, it is definitely NOT too much to ask for a ...Linda, it is definitely NOT too much to ask for a safe home in a decent neighborhood for your family. This woman was not in the same situation as you are now so she clearly doesn't have a real view of housing in the area.

You have had one crappy move (the one to Germany was a horror show) so you should NOT have to deal with another -- however, I am biased -- I love my sister and want her to be happy and safe :)Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09819545172174257642noreply@blogger.com
