Kathy, I don't know what's true any more, been following the story all evening. Shaking my head . . .
I'm wondering about predictions, myself...
I keep nodding off. 14 straight hours at my computer...intense. I'm not sure yet.....if I'm still sane at the end of the week....LOL! We worked Saturday and Monday trying to get a head start. I got a phone message Monday afternoon that most of my units hadn't turned in their second week because no one told them too......more hair pulled out. A couple things have already come to light that don't work so hot. Tomorrow will be the first run...it will be interesting to see how the reports work out.

14 hrs at the computer is a little much.
If things hold true to form. You will be bald my midday Wednesday.
Sorry you have to be mired in this.
Wishing you very good luck.

Soldier's Care Package
a soldier ^ | 4JAN06 | Marie
Posted on 01/04/2006 12:45:04 AM PST by Marie
FReepers, I need some help. My husband is stationed in Iraq and he's sent me an email of all the things soldiers are moaning for.
Is there any way we can get together go great care package for the 1st Sgt (my hubby) to hand out? Any suggestions as to how I am supposed ot go about doing this? (Take it easy on me. I just got out of the hospital yesterday!)
Here's the list:
Jerky
Sunflower seeds
All types of tobacco (cigars, chew, cigarettes)
Magazines (fitness, guns, cars, cosmo, guy stuff. I need one or two people to take care of the girls... Cosmo, etc.)
DVD players with all the required plugs, cables, etc.
Books
Sheet Sets (NICE, new ones! They're grateful for what they have, but sleeping on faded, worn, sailboats and flowers is not making them happy) Bottom sheets, especially. They're tucking top sheets into their bunks.
Homemade stuff (cookies, popcorn balls, candies, etc.)
Now for the really big one... comforters and quits. Are there any ladies out there who would be willing to donate?
They do NOT need junk food or candy (poggie bait). The mess hall is wonderful. They just need some homemade goodies from a loving "mom".
Overall, they are well taken care of, but what I hear most is that they miss home. (and tobacco!) They need some munchies and some comfort.
OK, People. Two hundred Fort Hood, D Company, Special Troops Battalion, 4th Infantry Division DRAKES are sending up smoke signals. How do we respond?
Now that's a cute baby!
Yep, truly sad and puzzling how the news got this bass-ackward.
I hope you feel better real soon.
LOL!!
YEOWCH!!! That must've been spectacular!
Luv.....#50!!
Star.....#100!!
ms feather.....#150!!
LE.....#200!!
Es.....#250!!
Radix.....#300!!
HJ.....#350!!
Taz.....#400!!
I hate the MSM! All they can think of is who can we blame?? They of course don't think THEY have any responsibility. Idiots!!
I'd like to amplify a few somethings:
If you're sending stuff that needs power, MAKE SURE it works on 220-240 volt current! The good ol' US of A 110-volt stuff will burst into flames if we plug it in without adapters or power converters.
Along with tobacco, another thing that's needed is LIGHTERS. They tend to run in short supply in theater.
We have massive amounts of paperbacks here, but I need to second the motion of magazines, especially mags with a specialty, like hunting/fishing, sports, fitness, etc.
And as I've stated other places, back off the junk food.
Good morning everyone.
