"and my hair is pretty"
LOL, here's hoping you don't end up pulling it all out while reading!
Pinz, your handle brings to mind an image of someone doing voodoo. You know, placing the uber-sharp pin into the gizzard of the dolly pincushion.
Just thought you might like a laugh. I guess I"ll find out in a couple hours, when you catch up to this post, LOL.
WOW..that is fast...when did you order the DVD?
War is nasty but at some point, the Israelis will have taken out enough of the launchers and ordinance so that they will be able to move more freely in Lebanon. The real problem comes after they reach a point od "victory" because it will be even harder to seek out the terrorists as they blend in with the "civilians'. They only way to win is to cause overwhelming damage and death. I was beginning to think that Olmert understood. But now I'm not so sure.
OT Kinda funny story re hair. I've sported a Laura Bush style since before LB did hers. It requires hair spray. When I moved from Miami to Ocala, I got into yard stuff and kept getting annoyed by wasps and other bugs flying around my head. They'd follow me but never sting. Even had something buzzing me in the store one day.
Eventually I found out that the chemicals in the hair spray attracted the pests. I switched over to Pantene spray and don't have the problem anymore.
Ordered the DVD 5 days ago.
I hope that ya'll don't mind me posting this again. Sometimes it can take forever to go back and look for links. It's really pretty cheap and I'm sure that the soldiers are greatly appreciative of the treats.
http://www.pizzaidf.org/
On behalf of the soldiers of the IDF (Israel Defense Forces), we wish to thank the many, many people the world over who have sent Pizza, Burgers and a variety of other treats, and especially thank you to those who have sent pizza and encouraging messages of support and gratitude during the current campaign.
We are delivering to the Lebanese border
and around Gaza
[en français: page in French]
During the last four years we have delivered many thousands of pizza pies and other gifts to thousands of soldiers. It is hard to describe how happy they are to receive your "special treats" -- it goes well beyond getting a hot pizza late at night at a lonely post. It is as tremendous an experience for us to give them out on your behalf as it is for the soldiers to receive them. They love to know that people everywhere support and care for them.
Please let us know if you are dedicating your delivery to a friend or loved one so we can send them a certificate, minimum order of $25.
Our deliveries are coordinated with the security forces
and pose no security risk.
We are also giving you the opportunity to write and send pizza to families who were displaced from Gush Katif. Many are still in tempoary, not ideal, locations.

You can also send burgers to our soldiers here
or from our burger site, BurgerIDF.org.
According to Jewish custom, meat is not eaten during the first 9 days of the month of Av as a sign of mourning for the destruction of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. In line with this custom we are not delivering burgers during this period.
However, we are still accepting your burger orders for delivery immediately after this time of national mourning. Our next burger delivery will be on 6th August.
During this period, you can send Pizza as usual.
Thank you once again for your support of our soldiers.
All our products are Kosher l'Mehadrin
allowing all soldiers receiving them to be able to eat them.
Delivery included in price.
* Pepsi or Coca-Cola (Coke) depending on the hechsher (kosher supervision) of the delivering pizzeria.
Will do, but I don't expect anything exciting today.
Thanks for that link. This is good. The MSM will have to cover this and hopefully those among us with their heads still in the sand will finally see the problem we face in our midst. Far too many people here just think this is something that's only happening in a desert far, far away. Just like the pro-illegal immigration rallies, this will only serve to hurt these fanatics.

Yes...I found out the hard way about wearing hairspray during yard work...LOL
Thanks for the info re: the DVD.
That's a great story. I wonder if Pantene would repel mosquitoes and Japanese Beetles?!? I might give that a try!
Thanks...I bookmarked that site when it was first posted because I plan on sending pizza a few times..
GREAT IDEA to keep posting.
I can not even begin to tell you how much I love these people.
I just heard Jennifer Griffin say that one of the reasons that Olmert has backtracked from his pledge to continue his plans for withdrawing from the West Bank...
was because the Israeli reserves said they wouldn't fight in the war if he was just going to give away the West Bank..
I just LOVE the Israel soldiers!!
Yonitheblogger said the same thing yesterday.
I just sent a private message to BurbanKarl asking if he would put the link at the top of each days Middle East Live thread.
I'm sure that something as simple as receiving these pizzas can turn a really bad day into a day that is at least tolerable for the soldiers.
It might be a good idea to send them in memory of each of the soldiers who have died in this war.
Me too. There is no wonder why the people of American stand so strongly behind the people of Israel, we are so much alike.
OT I don't know. It could be a Zone 8b thingie. Your zone may differ. BTW, wax myrtle keeps mosquitoes down in the yard.
Like all sneaky liberals Olmert will just wait until after the war to give up more land. What kind of dunce would continue to think Israel giving up land is still a viable option?
