My step-son spent 7 months in Iraq from August ‘05 - March ‘06 and he is being deployed again tonight.
The Old Lady’s friend-across-the-street (Louise) told my husband that her church wants to send packages to some of our service men and women stationed in Iraq and asked my husband what kinds of things they should send. LOL, hubby told her the things they want most of all is cigarettes, M&M’s and porn! Do you think the church members know where to buy porn? I bet they do! haha
Seriously though, he did say that but he quickly amended the list to include things like socks, toiletries and snacks and a lot of other things I can’t think of right now. Our son hasn’t even left the country yet and my husband has his first care package packed and ready to send out. He taped up the box before I had a chance peek in. I wonder what he put in it.
I think they actually open the care packages and take the porn out. I know Playboy can’t get sent over there (or so my hubby told me).
Ok, found the bread crumbs again (see your dormant forum at the old place).
I wish your step son safety and you and your husband strength. I can’t imagine waving my son off to go into a situation like that.
I could say that, hey, he’s only 7, but there are places in this world that have children of that age as soldiers of one kind or the other.
Anyway, blogging for $? Did you ever check out ‘richpom.com’? he’s been advertising his method over here and I’ve been meaning to look into it.
Hey, the radio is on at the moment and they are reporting a ufo crashing in the outer suburbs of Sydney…thought that only happened in Utah?
see your round,
Yowie.
I think the richpom guy makes his money on that one website… probably tells people to get a website and do the same thing… I don’t know why at least one person hasn’t busted that guy yet and make his methods public… I might be tempted to… I’ve made about $100.00 this month by blogging… I’m not rich but it’s fun to get paid for something I’m already doing…
UFO? I hope somebody gets some good pictures this time! hehe

That is hysterical!!!
LOL at least your step son was honest. Good luck and safety for him. Aw! Your hubby is so sweet with the care package already made up.
Your stepson will be in my prayers. Good luck — and enjoy the birthday goodies!
BTW — if you send me your Marine’s mailing address, I’ll pass it along to the folks at church who will send him a little reminder that he’s not forgotten here…
I’ll take everyone’s info you (or anyone reading this) might want to send me. I’m so very proud of these brave young people and their families!
