Default OT I need a deployed

Our own near and dear in the military are all back in the states this
Christmas season. Praise God. I want someone to send pralines to overseas
and it's getting to be time to cook and get them shipped. Do any of you
have a deployed kin that would enjoy (and maybe even share) candy from
'home'? I can provide character references since our pastor is new and
doesn't know me yet. Polly

Default OT I need a deployed

I am just so surprised not to have a response. And the same from our
churches. If the weather is good, we are Baptist. If it's not so good, we
are Presbyterians where the church is much closer. Somehow neither church
has anyone deployed to Afghanistan.
Donna's son was such a joy to send pralines to - there was even a clerk
there who was packing to come home and she was pleased to scavenge the
praline packing for her laptop.
How am I going to find someone? I guess I could go ask at WalMart on
Friday. Seems like everybody's going to be there. Polly

I can vouch for Polly's Pralines. She sent some to my DS when he was in
Iraq. They were gone in minutes and yes, he shared. He's back in the
States
now.
There are some military in Afganistan still. Those poor guys/gals won't be
home for some time yet but I don't know any of them.
Help Polly out quilters and make it possible for her to "sweeten up" our
our
folks so far from home.
Thanks again to Polly from DS and me for being so kind.

My nephew is deployed, but unfortunately, I don't know where. My
sister doesn't speak to me.

LOL. Okay. Maybe it's not funny but my brother didn't speak to me for
nearly a year and honestly it was a relief. We don't get to choose our
siblings. The last thing I said to him was to quit being a Drama Queen and
solve his problems. Never heard from him again. I reckon he didn't
appreciate my unsympathetic response. If he wants to see himself as a
victim, that's his choice. We are not responsible for other people's
choices. We are not. Polly

I have a friend with a Navy daughter. Want me to ask for her address?

YES ! YES! Mary, please. And hurry. It takes weeks to ship something
from Mississippi to our finest. We have to have a real address to mail
pralines or get rejected or tossed aside from I understand careful scrutiny.
My email address here is ridiculous. You can actually reach me at
bGobbledegookhgobbledegookmartin@cableonedotnet. Of course, remove the
gobbledegook and use a real dot. Wonder if that works? Please send me a
test email and I'll let you know if it gets here. Since the IRS and the
BallalohongaWalla treasury department are hoping for my email address, I
have to be very careful. The truth is, I have a serious assault with junk
spam and try to stay clear of as much as I can. Thank you. Sending a
happy moment to our own is an important special Christmas big gift for us.

well, she must know my sister that does speak to me just enough to let me
know how awful I am. Oh, the joy of families.
Hugs to you Ginger from here.

I sent a test e-mail last night. Once you have pushed away from the
table, we can discuss details by e-mail.

Polly,
I'm sending an address for a wonderful soldier who started the "Iraqi
Bundles of Love" project; sending thousands of boxes of material and sewing
supplies to Iraqi. You can read about it on the website:

I know he would love your pralines and would definitely share.

Michelle, I just sifted through 81 junk mails received today hoping to find
a message from you. Not here yet. If you can't by-pass the filters, I've
realized that we can simply send pralines to someone who's stationed in the
states. Christmas away from home in a Georgia barracks probably needs
something sweet. Polly
