Let's Send Oerdin a Care Package

[Japher]

My brother-in law came back for a couple weeks at christmas, but he told us not to send food unless it was home made as they can get just about everything over there. He really did like the Newspapers. Also, they have TVs and such but not much in the way of stuff to watch; Iraqi TV sucks I guess.

[Japher]

ell ok, is there something Oerdin would like to get from here? Or like Scandinavia or something?

Swedish Women?

Lancer, since you're collecting from Americans, would it be ok for me to send you USD-bills by regular mail as Chemical Ollie suggested (provided I get your address of course)?

I think we should work towards organizing a sinle package from the US, instead of also having one sent from Europe. After all, it'd be just as difficult to get contributions collected in Europe. Everyone should be able to get hold of some dollar bills and mail them to whoever will "host" in the US.

If enough money comes in, maybe it could be divided into two or more portions to provide for later packages to Oerdin also.

Anything from Oz you'd like?

Something light like c.d.s?

Do you like any Aussie bands for that matter?

Australia does produce Aussie only versions of singles and albums by all the usual artistes, so let me know.

My best wishes Oerdin- you may be wrong on socialism, but take care and get back from Iraq in one whole undamaged piece.

On David Letterman's top ten list of signs that you have spent too much time in Iraq:

- You have heard that Arnold Schwarzenegger is Governor of California...

I wouldn't send cash by mail, the postmen are crooks!

I think it would be kewl if ppl sent money from their country or something from their country. That would be more of a gesture as well.

What's the deal if one or two letters out of perhaps a hundred gets stolen? None of them would contain more than perhaps 20 dollars, probably less, anyway? The postman can not see on the outside of an envelope that it contains cash, can he? I think sending US cash to a trustworthy Apolytoner in US is the way to arrange this. Dollars are easy to get anywhere in the World.

I can't believe my f*cking computer is chrashing for the 20th time this evening. F'ck msblaster

I agree. And it would also allow us to include a handwritten card to Oerdin or some other small item to be included in the final package.

I'm not saying don't send anything, I'm saying , if you can, don't send cash... Money orders would probably be best if you going to send US currency anyway... Anyway, do what you want.

[Chemical Ollie]

Yes Winston, finally U and I agree on something. Now we only have to find a trustworthy and volontary Apolytoner in the US to collect the money, buy the stuff and ship it to Oerdin.

By the way, who will send care packages to the other Apolytoners in the Armed Services - Mark G, Sirotnikov, Stefu, Lonestar, etc... ?


But of course, none of those guys are based in combat zones

[Japher]

Yeah, and who is the MarkG guy anyway?

[Ben Kenobi]

Well, don't forget the Canucks

that person could post who gave how much and what was sent.

Eh, I'd rather not. Lancer knows how much I've sent him.

He is an officer in the Imperial Macedonian army, and he probably earns more than Oerdin.
