Dunno if its just me

[BS Gal]

First off, nobody forced you to come. You aren't even married. Why not take your baby and hop on the first flight home?

Second, you might be happier if you weren't so negative. People sense negativity and shy away from it. I don't like you and I don't even know you.

You're lucky we let you play outside the Base gates. The Base won't let us civilians use their facilities, including the beautiful beaches they have and the fishing piers; however, we're supposed to sit and listen to you whine cause you don't like it here?

Suck it up and get over your whiny self. Or pack your stuff and go on home. Doesn't sound like you are legally obligated to be here. i.e., married, so go on, shoo.

I dunno from what people told me..unless you are a local..you will have a hard time meeting new people...its definitely been true so far..

 

[cattitude]

Whats wrong with wanting something to do besides getting drunk and eating out all the time?

Crap. I did all that other boring stuff for years, now all I want to do is eat out and get drunk. So, there's something wrong with that?

If you did your homework, you would find that there is plenty to do around here.

I wasn't a local, and I loved Southern Maryland. I didn't have any problems meeting people, but I didn't have a bad attitude. :shrug: You're gonna have a rough life ahead of you if you plan on marrying into the military and moving around the country.

 

[nitwhit3286]

People may not like what I have to say..but it is true...at least for me. Being here in SoMd was not my plan..but it wound up being. Someone told me a while back that if you aren't from here you will have a hard time making and meeting new people...and it has been true so far.

Whats wrong with wanting something to do besides getting drunk and eating out all the time? Whats wrong with wanting something for kids to do besides teen drinking and drugs?

I think it was the way you came across. Lots of folks are proud of their home town (just the same as you probably are of yours) and you come in new and immediately want to change things and complain about it. Some folks on here go back generation after generation from this area. There's more to do than drinking and drugs. If you can't find anything better to show your teenager than try showing him how to farm, start a garden, do the 4H thing, get involved in the community, do volunteer work, explore the history of southern maryland, etc.. there's plenty to do that a young impressionable mind can absorb. Its all good things!!! You can do it!!! Wake up tomorrow and try to enjoy what you do have here in southern Maryland Look hard and try to list all the positive things. Maybe you need to be reprogrammed somewhat. I think maybe the city life has hardened you a bit

 

[nitwhit3286]

I am married and have been since Dec. 2004. I tried going back home...as I have said before the base has stopped doing the geographical bachelor...the military has tied me down in more ways than one. I married my husband for the man....not the job.

 

[Sharon]

it is true southern marylanders suck!! No I am not happy living in this S***hole unles syou are form here you are not happy here...ask anyone that is not a local!!!

I I hate the base....and I don't live near or in it. I don't go to anything on base. I try not to affiliate myself with the so called "military trash"

First you insult the locals and then the transplants. You're going to win a lot of friends here!

I find it interesting you chose the name you did.

Years ago, perhaps there was some truth to your theory about "not being from here" but there are so many transplants that I don't think that applies.

I'm not sure how old you are, maybe I missed it. You need to learn a very important lesson -- YOU are responsible for your happiness in life.

You married your husband for better or for worse. If you can't handle a little move to Maryland, maybe you should do him a favor and just go back home. :shrug:

Not everyone is as warm and charming as you my dear...

 

[ServiceGuy]

Not complaining just giving my opinion. Haha its kinda funny...I could never see myself on a tractor...however I have gone atv-ing when I was little with my family down in North Carolina..they are really south and proud of it! I consider this place north but it seems people around here don't think so. It's pretty wild to see Amish people in their horse-drawn carts...while driving down the road. I haven't seen that since I was a kid on vacation in PA....wow...yeah this place..is different....

There is an ATV park just over the county line in Charles County have you been there?

 

[nitwhit3286]

The city life has probably hardened me since day one....I have grown up all my life in the city until now. I think it is hard to reprogram yourself after you have been set in your ways. I try not to consider myself a closeminded person...but I guess I have come off that way. I am sure a lot of people have taken offense to what I have to say...but please don't be upset with me. I just recently learned about this website from a friend...she told me all of southern md operates on it...hehe JK she told me...anyways just see where I am coming from thats all...I know some people can empathize and others just don't understand.

You keep confusing me on that part - is this a) a reality tv show b) someone was really getting done or c) you are implying the navy doesn't move people unless they are married???

She sounds very young and immature.

 

[nitwhit3286]

Yes young but not immature by any means. No a geographical bachelor means the spous that is in the military gets to stay at his location....aka pax river while the rest of the family can move wherever....aka back home to Virginia Beach.

Oh, from your post #68, when you said "fiance," I assumed you were not married.

Let me get this right. You came here with your fiance, hated it, but married him and stayed here and now you're whining? Have I got it right?

Try getting a job. You'll have less time to be miserable in this hell hole.

I understand. Hang in there!! Its not easy but its definately worth it if you can adapt and be open-minded. You can choose to stay miserable or accept the changes in So.MD from what you are accustomed to and embrace them. Don't give up and stay in the problem!! Stay in the solution!!

How old? I'm young (24) and infinitely more mature than you are, and in a similar situation. I married into the military and I love it. :shrug: I moved to a small town with much less to do than in Southern Maryland, and again, I love it. Rather than complain about things I cannot change, I embrace them and turn them into positives.
