There was a list printed in Saturday's Miami Herald detailing the most requested items from soldiers. Let me get it.
Hang on...OK, here it is.
Help our far-away troopers
As the holiday season approaches let us not forget our military troops deployed around the world.
The 82nd Airborne Division has two battalions of airborne infantry with all their support elements fighting the war against terrorist in Afghanistan. These fine men and women are like all military troops away from home -- they like to receive ''care packages.'' Command Sgt. Major Norvel C. Turner has compiled a list of the items most requested by the troopers:
• Non-perishable foods such as nuts, hard candy, beef jerky and powdered drinks.
• Pipe tobacco and cigarettes. These must be shipped in zip-lock bags.
• Magazines, newspapers and paperback books.
• Toothpaste and toothbrushes, disposable razors, small cans of shaving cream
• AAA and AA batteries, playing cards, board games, portable CD players with headphones, DVD movies.
• Portable fans, coolers, disposable cameras, holiday decorations.
• Dry-erase pens, envelopes and stationery
• Leatherman utility knives.
Mail packages and letters to:
CSM Norvel C. Turner, HHC, 3rd Bde (Task Force Panther), 82nd Abn Div, APO, AE 09355
He will make the distribution to our troopers.

To: RMDupree
Thank you for the breakfast Ruth! - And thanks for the description of how hard it is to be beautiful! Yowch!
To: g'nad
Rest assured that I washed my face and hands vigorously before preparing the meal.
I am not a dwarf, I'm a hobbit lass and need to maintain a sense of beauty. ;)
Should have posted the wax thing separate from the meal though. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
The labours a woman must endure....
To: RosieCotton
OT...remind me again. What is it that we're aspiring to? Volume crap production?
Quick! Fetch my fiber!
To: g'nad; Overtaxed

I am certain that all beauticians must be trained in the fine arts of inflicting pain and torture in order to be certified. Gollum would have talked faster if the Orcs implemented this waxing technique.
It's unbelievable that they can smile and yammer away while you whimper and cower under the popsicle stick of doom. But, I do look a LOT better afterwards.
Being of Hispanic heritage, unibrow is a genetic trait that must be battled against continuously!!
To: RMDupree
Excellent list! Thank you!
I'm off to see Steve at work. See you all this afternoon.
To: g'nad
It was a double-burp post. :)
Either that or you were traumatized by my detailing this morning's beauty regimen!
To: ksen
Oh no! Not you too! my Galadriel is Mrs g'nad... tall, fair hair, beautiful...
you can rest easy bro...
To: RMDupree; 2Jedismom; g'nad
Thanks for the descriptions of what to send and how to send it! I am becoming inspired! Do we just send it to:
CSM Norvel C. Turner, HHC, 3rd Bde (Task Force Panther), 82nd Abn Div, APO, AE 09355
Where is that unit? Is this the same unit 2J is sending packages to? How do I know who needs it?
I will send cigars and cigarettes and Copenhagen... I am not too prudish for that! - G'nad... what else would make them say "oh cool!"?
To: RMDupree

To: g'nad; rightwingreligiousfanatic

I did electrolysis once... The technician said she would do 15-minute sessions at a time... that most people couldn't take much more. She was right. By the end of the fifteen minutes I was really fighting the impulse to punch her in the face. It feels like an electrical shock that lasts several seconds and you have to hold still. NYAAA! I never went back for another session!
To: ksen; g'nad
Ya know.... I worry about boys, even dwarves, that would not become fairly "turned" about Galadriel in that gift-scene.

Hello! I think I have class now - oh good, the instructor is here. Five minutes late, though. Also I think I'm going to like writing today's story.
What's new here?

I don't think it's the same one that 2J is using.
This one was from the Miami Herald, but they do not say where the base is.
To: g'nad
that mightta had sumthin' tuh do withit... LOL!!!
To: JenB
What's new? - Ruthie talked about having her face waxed. -And made breakfast.
I am thinkin' of sending some stuff to the troops but don't know where it is best to send stuff.
And I have to log off and get busy soon, but I am hungry. First things first.
To: HairOfTheDog
I have a friend that had electrolysis done on her face and, er...elsewhere. She actually went through with it until the end!! YEEOOOUUWCH!!
I still remember her limping back from her lunch hour. *shudder*
