I am later than I intended with this, but I got some packages ready to mail on Monday. First, remember the young medic that FReeper Jonesie told 2J about who had no packages since he's been in Iraq? Okay, I got him a pretty good package on my shoestring budget. He's getting 2 boxes of snack cakes, a box of hot chocolate mix, 6 hand/foot warmer packages, a bit bag of shampoo, a half dozen batteries, a bag of chips, a can of bean dip, some gum, a bunch of Atomic Fireballs, some dried apricots, a couple of tubes of Carmex and a few of the magazines that 300winmag sent me.
Here it is all boxed up ready to send. I gotta write him a little letter to add to this still.
Okay, now for our regular platoon that's been getting stuff all this time I've got a little box of snack cakes, batteries and magazines. Also, am sending them 2 jars of my homemade jelly! :-)
And now, for Graybeard58's son Steve, I'm fixing up a box of candies. I gotta go to WalMart tonight (after midnight to avoid the rush) and get some hard candy to fill out this box but in it is a bag of jelly beans, a bag of Twizzlers and gum. Sent him a bunch of fireballs last time so I need to pick up something else to fill up the box.
Yes, thanks for the reminder. I'll get a package out to him on Monday.
You mentioned short budget. I'll send you some more for postage.
The two guys' names are Bryan and Ryan. The way Jonsie explained it in her freepmail, Bryan was her son, and I sent him two HHD knives. The other was for Ryan, whose name I didn't know at the time.
It turns out that Ryan is Jonsie's son, and Bryan is the one not getting enough mail from home. Bryan is getting the knives, along with a note saying "the other one is for your buddy who doesn't get much mail." I'm sure things will straighten themselves out. (I hope).
Much appreciated. I haven't heard from Steve that he has received anything but when he gets the package and knives I am sure I will and will post it here.
