Well grams, you should have been at my house today as I was packing this stuff up. I cried like a baby!
No idea why it was so emotional but it was :) I sent out an entire box today filled with nothing but kits, mods and batteries :) As I was opening boxes I found notes and cards to me that just really choked me up. If everyone would take the same kind of attitude towards helping each other out and caring as this community has what a wonderful world this would be :)

Anyway, the first package was mailed today and I did insure it for $500 as there were many new kits in the box and I wanted to let everyone know :)

I was a bit lazy and just copied and pasted this from the other thread :)

20 LBS of juice are enroute! WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope that they arrive intact. I really packed them well by putting bottles in small bags and then all of the small bags in a larger bag just in case there are any leaks only a few bottles would be effected rather than an entire gallon bag. One of the pkgs was 8 lbs and the other 13. I still have 2 more boxes to go which I will mail Monday or Tuesday ish :)
That gives me time to make the cookies :) and by staggering it out just a bit AG and Sarge will have time to disburse some stuff and it will not be as hard to store.

Just an update here. I managed to pick up some kind of bug and have been sick since Saturday so the last box or two is going to take me a few days to get mailed :( Mostly because I am baking some cookies to send along and I need to make sure that I am completely well before handling cookie stuff :)
No worries though. I sent 3 large flat rate boxes last week that they should have by the end of this week that will keep them busy for awhile :) I know that they are all very excited about it and AG gets daily visits to his tent from folks anxious to start vaping :)

Hope you feel better soon salem and if I was closer to you, I'd come help you bake cookies! :)

LOL I wish that you were closer :) It won't be bad once I am feeling better but I want to make double sure that I am 100% before handling their stuff. It would be horrible to send my bug all the way to Afghanistan and have tents full of guys down with flu like symptoms lol :facepalm:

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good news is that our army friends got at least one box of the juice. I read it in a post of AGs so not sure if he got both of the first 2 boxes are not but from what I read it looks like he at least has 1 kahuna of a box of juice :) No mention of the PVs yet that I read so hopefully tomorrow :)

Hiya PIF folks. I just wanted to drop in and let everyone know that there are a bunch of really happy soldiers thanks in no small part to you all. It was genuinely the coolest thing I've seen since I've been in the Army and I've shot an anti-tank rocket(kinda made me feel like this :headbang:). Honestly I can't word it well without sounding too cheesy, but you are all just good human beings let alone great Americans. When I get home expect to see me in this forum on the regular.

I can only speak for me, but I was really happy to be able to give back to the guys over there, to help someone stop smoking, and to be in a position to send several kits. You all do so much for us, it was a pleasure to be able to help you out. If you need more, just let us know!

And major kudos to salemgold for doing all the hard work of collecting, packing, and shipping the goodies. One of a kind, that one :)

Stay safe!

That was very sweet to say Cleo but I have to diasagree about being one of a kind :) Those pkgs really proved that there are many of my kind at least here on ECF :)
