I spent your money on leis and decorations at eBay for the Hawaiian luau party in a box for Baghdad that the psyops soldiers there requested.

They are currently being shipped to MJY1288 as he is on the East Coast and it is cheaper for him to remail them to the APO in Baghdad. If you want to see them, just access patriciaruth on eBay and check my latest purchases.

Kattracks sprang for the blenders that they requested, and Amazon is shipping them to MJY1288. Heh-heh...

I've been hip deep in stuff I got here locally, bags of pineapple, shredded coconut, cans of tropical fruit salad, 6 artificial sprays of orchids. Bottles of sugared lime juice. Straws. Maraschino cherries. Decorated toothpicks.

My husband keeps muttering about our living room looking like a warehouse....

I sent out 6 boxes of these things today, and will rest tomorrow and then continue to search for cream of coconut and pack and send some more stuff.

Know anyone who has a Hawaiian shirt or beach straw hat they would be willing to send over?

Time for me to keel over.

Thanks for the 50 beautiful silk flower leis (large assorted flowers, different colors) and the other goodies!!

I think the leis are going to be the best part of their party!

Cheers!
Patty

Not me, but I have a friend that used to have some.

I'll ask, and let you know if I have any luck.

Thanks for letting me help.

For info on the Hawaiian party that grew into a monster and ate the house, check post 654.

I'm currently overdosing on badly made fake Hawaiian drinks trying to come up with some nonalcoholic drinks made with stuff than can be shipped legally and not rot on its way to Baghdad.

*Burp*

Excuse me.

The kids in pysops battalion got so happy just thinking this party might come off and then be able to pack the nonconsumables and resupply the consumables and send their "Party in a box" around to other units who need some fun.

It was their idea, and even though it was insane to do it the way they conceived it, I have been trying to help.

Anyone who is willing to contribute toward this big morale effort monetarily or with Hawaiian theme goods, please FReepmail me.

Also, FYI, I sent some children's DVD's to the Astrodome via Amazon. There is a set of Disney children's book and the DVD of The Lion King I'd like to send also if anyone is willing to order them, or donate the money to pay for them.
