Let's Send Oerdin a Care Package

I've had a single dollar in my wallet for the past few weeks...
I think I'm going to send well-wishes

What kind of cheese doesn't have to be fridged? What do the other guys have that works best? Summer sausage can certainly be had, but what about those big Gallo salamis? Man those are good and seem to last a long time...ever had one? I'm sure it would travel well.

How long do care packages take?

monolith, one of the biggest problems with these threads is that they drop like rocks. If you could bump it a couple of times it is doing the effort a GREAT service. People can't help out if they don't know the effort is being made.

That's a good point. Maybe we would be better off doing 2 care packages. One mailed from the US and one from Europe.

Dunno, it might cost a fortune from Europe, since I don't know how we can send things to an American contingent. Maybe the package would have to go to the US (big whollops of money) first, and then be forwarded by the military to Iraq, making Oerdin (the reciever) pay for the extra fees.

There must be a better "hi" message than "here's a few German beers and Belgian chocolates, now pay 100$ in extra fees"

Someone 'over there' doing the same thing as I described earlier. Taking checks from europeans, buying stuff and shipping it. Someone like...you Spiffor?

Given how reliable I was in explaining Atahualpa how to give me the money he owes me, I'd prefer to pass

Spiffor it seems we can get really good rates sending stuff from the US anyway. So, if you want to send something here, I guess it will have those transaction fees you described.

First we have to see if anyone is interested in helping out.

If not, I'll just get some stuff together on my own and send it. Seems we could do more as a group though. I mean we actually have an Apolytoner in Iraq who cares enough to give us reports...

the domestic US.

Looks like we're ahead of our time, Lancer.

Who would have considered care packages coming from outside of their country of origin to help a soldier from another country?

Summer sausage is definitely doable, but again, coming from Canada, I don't know what the fees would be.

Couldn't the european package be sen to American army unit stanioned in Germany?

Btw, sending money oversees is expensive (it's free in and troughout europe but anythin pst that..auch)

Oerdin doesn't take dirty commie money.

For six grand we could buy him a Real Doll®. Bet that would come in handy out there.

I'll kick in $20. If enough other folks get together we should be able to ship him some goodies, letters, booze, nylons...

Throw in some lacy panties and it's the J. Edgar Hoover care package!

Alva: even sending checks?

[Bereta_Eder]

Give me an address and I'll send him some great Greek sweets (I know I'll be labeled a disgusting traitor and imperial lackey lickboot but I just do it for Oerdin as a separate entity if that's ok).

[Theben]

I wonder what Oerdin's unit will say about a bunch of men sending him a care package?

If it contains the above, I'm sure they'll understand. BTW, what is it really? I'm only guessing its some sort of anatomically correct latex contraption.
