Just yesterday we got the new APO for our new contact at FOB Falcon near Baghdad, so I sent out the Valentine’s boxes that were waiting for the name.
Thanks to jtill and manna for their significant help with the cost.
Mailed February 11, 2009, to FOB Falcon, 3 boxes 12x12
Boxes 1 and 2, each value $37.95, each postage $11.95, have same contents:
4 packs Orbit 14 spearmint sugarless gum
9 Valentine decorated cellophane bags tied with pink polka dot ribbon, each with
1 small red heart box with 3 Russell Stover chocolates
1 Quaker instant oatmeal (various flavors)
1 Nutrigrain blueberry cereal bar
1 regular size Snickers almond bar
2 Swiss Miss hot chocolate envelops
1 Lipton hot spiced apple cider mix
1 Sun Maid mini box of raisins
In a baggie:
1 Taster’s Choice freeze dried coffee single
1 Cremora single packet
2 packets sugar
1 Lipton’s teabag
In another baggie:
3/4 oz pecan halves
3/4 oz banana chips
1 Cello chocolate covered cherry, foil wrapped

Ooops!
Forgot to add that the Valentine bags also had a pkg of Manchuen soup noodles (chicken flavoring), at 16 cents each the total value of the first two boxes to FOB Falcon goes up to $39.39, and the third box value rises to $42.66.
Maybe with this display of accounting accuracy, maybe I’ll get appointed to the cabinet now....
