Actually, Jen, 2J prefers the direct bank transfers instead of the debit card transactions, because there is no fee to collect the bank transfers. So really, you don't have to wait for the debit card. (I did a credit card transaction at first, and 2J explained all this to me!)

It takes a few days for Paypal to verify your account and move money, so you can do that anytime. Little bits are just fine, and it is of course, also fine if extra cash isn't something you can give right now! - I understand!

ALL:

One of the things the chaplain mentioned in his note was how much the troops enjoy the cards and letters that come in the boxes. He said they like to look through them and find ones that catch their eye to write back to! WE FORGOT TO PUT ANY CARDS OR LETTERS IN THE FIRST SET OF BOXES! Ack!

So I was going to volunteer this: If all of you who want to write them a note should either:

1) Make a nice pretty formatted greeting to the troops and post it here, or

2) email me the same thing via my address at the yahoo hole.

I will print those out and enclose them in the package I send to 2J.

I have a really nice office-grade color printer so please feel free to use color and pictures! If you want to include your real name and personal contact info so they can write you back, send the email instead so you don't have to post that here. Let me know if any of you don't know my email address, but I think most of you do.

How does that sound?

Sounds okay. Maybe we should peruse FR for some good rally pictures.

I've been online shopping for phone cards. I don't belong to Sam's club, but you can get them at their website for 3.7 cents a minute. That's domestic rates. According to some Freepers, a call to Kuwait is $1.55/minute. Someone else said that 1 minute to the Middle East = 10 domestic minutes.
