To all:

Please do not take this response negatively becuae I wholely understand what you are saying and agree with you. I feel like expressing my side though.

Before I ever obtained my first glider I considered these arguments. I knew that I would be leaving for college in a year and had worked out all the issues with perhaps owning a glider. This is what was supposed to be:
We own a house where I'm going to be attending school. I was going to live in the house and take my gliders with me. No problem except the school then stated that I had to live on campus my first year. The result of that was that my father would care for my babe for the 2 semesters that I would be away. After hearing that I would be absent for awhile I decided to purchase a glider from an friends friend so that in my absence my glider would have company. I even went as far as checking with my local pet store on their experience on gliders and finding out that they would board it for days to a week if I would be out of town with family. I had that all covered.

Now things have unexpectidly happened.

I was given an internship of a lifetime that I would be crazy to turn down. The internship entails that I move away from home this summe. In addition to that, my father has been having some heart problems. I then made the decision to sell my gliders to try to lessen the load on my dad. I dont wnat him haveing additional stress. I'm sorry but I jsut felt violated becuase I HAD everything figured out and things happen out of your controll sometimes.

I am also not advertising through papers and such because I want a good home for my babies. I tried thsi board because I figured at least people here are interested in learning about gliders. Well thats all I have to say. I hope no one took offense, it wasnt ment that way.
