I just got my ladies box put together today and I'll mail it out tomorrow. You should have received the other one today.

I'll check back in a few days to see what else is needed.

Guess what I found to put into the ladies box along with the makeup kits.....HEAT ACTIVATED shampoo and conditioner. Is that perfect for Iraq or what?

[jwalsh07]

Impressive, yes. But I'm still the only one who sent sport's bras! Na-na-na! :-P

LOL. I don't speak of the "unspeakables" but my wife kept throwing things in the basket. No telling whats in there.:-}

[Brad’s Gramma]

Oh Patty....

Thank you so much.

[MoJo2001]

Senior Chief has gone to bed. I'll ask her in the morning. I will write you and let you know. Thank you Diva!!

[patriciaruth]

Gone to bed? Is she on the graveyard crew in Iraq, it's about 8 in the morning there, I think.

So, it's almost 12 midnight on the east coast... in the morning means what time to you? I'll set the alarm and check FReepmail at 9 am PDT (12 noon EDT) to see if you can get me more specifics.

I'll check in the morning (Pacific Time) with the local hospital and medical supply outlets once I know more what to ask for, so won't be able to get back to you until afternoon Eastern Time.

Night, doll! And let me say thank you to you for alerting us to this need and for being the clearing house for the goods. You've been terrific!

[patriciaruth]

I noticed there were a lot of packages of female unmentionables on the list today. LOL! We're going to have to uncloak and find out specifically soon exactly what "feminine hygiene" products are needed.

[MoJo2001]

Thank you so much kayak for generosity. God Bless You!

We will keep you posted!

[MoJo2001]

Thank you so much for letting us know.

[mrs tiggywinkle]

What an ABSOLUTE blessing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[patriciaruth]

My bad. I mentioned our secret weapon against the insurgents. Thanks, moderator, for obliterating the post.

[MoJo2001]

No harm done.

You've got FReepmail!

[MoJo2001]

Everyone that has made this campaign a success are the Blessings. Those that are sending their prayers are the Blessings!

BTW...I bought some of those non-skid slippers today at the hosp. at cost...XXL....cloth ones....I will send them out tomorrow....

I'll post this at work too.....who knows.....people want to do something for the cause no matter how small.....

[HiJinx]

I was the only one stupid enough to send combs

Hate to burst your bubble, but...

Well, actually, I wouldn't have if they weren't already packaged with the razor, shave cream, toothpaste, and toothbrush!! Our PX here at Ft. Huachuca had some travel-sized grooming kits that I snatched up and put in our box!

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Sumthin' else, isn't it?

[Brad’s Gramma]

I sat here, grinning from ear to ear today when I read that. I can't even begin to imagine the emotions MoJo had, LIVING it.

Thanks EVERYONE!
