lol that's awesome!! Ya know.. I was venting to him about my truck being broke down.. lol and he said he's a mechanic and he's "cheap and easy" lol THAT would be a riot on the shirt!!
*hides in the corner so Zephy doesn't kick my ass* :)

That's his address - I just popped on and read like the last 4 posts.Â
Work is crazy today - but I wanted to give that to ya'll if someone wants to do it. Dunkin Donuts is owned actually by my company's competitor... go figure. I think it's awesome that they want to do that.
To answer truthfully, he figured it out long long ago. Some of us slipped on saying things and the pictures of the PDG pretty much told the story. Not that it's a bad thing at all either way. He has asked and I play stupid. He knows I'm playing stupid so it's kind of a game :)
It personally feels good to make someone else feel soooo goood! sooo, I am eager to see Zeph cry when he gets it all! or hear about it anyhow ;) I love to make a grown man cry ;)
We are sending the packages every couple days to make sure they are not in the same shipment. They should be done being shipped by the end of next week. We are sending all books at the book rate. Anything that was perishable has already been sent!
We want to make sure that if something were to happen to the mail truck that not all packages are lost. This way by sending them scattered he has a better chance at recieving as many packages as possible.
Now that the hunt is over and we can get back to our normal lives we will have time to get the list posted for everyone. We did have alot going on over the last two weeks between the hunt, kids and work so I hope you all can forgive us for prioritizing.
Pay Me will try to get the list posted sometime tonight or in the morning.
As to the question of shipping, shipping costs and such, Pay me and I were happy to volunteer handling the shipping and even picking up the cost that was not covered by donations. She said this in post 15of this thread. At last best guess on the high end was 500 dollars So you can rest assured that we have researched and made use of the book rate and other cost cutting measurements at our disposal.
People have been curious about the money amounts donated so here you go.
Total money donated was about 150 dollars:
70 dollars all Cooler Heads at the PDG 20 Cooler Head last week 40 Family member 20 Cooler Head at RHB
We have been doing and will be doing the best for Zeph in trying to make sure he gets as much of what the Cooler Crewcollected for him and his fellow soldiers. It doesn't make any difference to us how many trips we make to the post office if it will insure the packages find their way to him. Mail trucks get attacked like any other cargo truck there. Military mail also has the ability to get lost more often then not. When I was deployed I told my family the same thing.Ship boxes seperate.
3M made sure we were set with plenty of boxes shipping supplies. So everything is pretty much covered in that department.
I hope that this covers all the questions. We have it handled and look forward to hearing how good it makes those troops feel over there just as much as anyone else.

Its a good think you can't see me - cause I have been giggling about this *secret* thread here for quite some time. good thing my cat has a poker face...Â
That is the high end guess. Some of the stuff is pretty heavy. The nut goodies alone,.....oh my gosh!!! But this is what we were willing to donate. I would spend $1000 if I had to. It is our pleasure. OTS and I had some very good support when we were overseas. hundreds upon hundreds of dollars worth of goodies. This is something we have wanted to do!!!!!! Thank you everyone who donated postage this is a great help. But please understand this is not a burden by any means. This is something we wanted to do to show our support!!!!
I vote to open the thread!
maybe we should keep him in the dark....just incase we have more up our sleaves....
I just gave Zeph's wife access today. I didn't realize she didn't have it.
share away, dan. looks like you got better focused pictures than i did at the mayors reception anyway. send 'em in at the link in my tagline.
Ares, check your "visi" mail.

S
Have we decided to give zeph access to this thread yet or not? I can't remember,
I don't know for sure.
well...give it to him...then he can get his own coffee....ha
btw ....I just called and got him on the list...
I know some people wanted to wait... but if we let him have access he will have something more to do as far as reading it all.
I think it is time for him to have access.
package(s) and they are still being sent.
To answer truthfully, he figured it out long long ago. Some of us slipped on saying things and the pictures of the PDG pretty much told the story. Not that it's a bad thing at all either way. He has asked and I play stupid. He knows I'm playing stupid so it's kind of a game :)
I honestly don't know what you guys are talking about....
I don't recall giving him a watch....
I thought all that coffee and books was an gift exchange....
I thought you were all donating to my kids college fund and to my craving for trinkets.
dang that pile of stuff was for trading? Shoot I shoulda looked closer.
Ian's been putting it in caches right??
but if we let him have access he will have something more to do as far as reading it all.
Almost 1000 posts...poor guy won't sleep for about a week trying to slog through it all.
Ok, I'll give him access then.
Hello Zephyrus!
Glad you could finally make it!
Isn't it nice to know we were talking about you right in front of your face this whole time :)
i'm still going to talk about him in here...
Â
package(s) and they are still being sent.
what does this mean?
when will everything be sent?
Its been 2 weeks since the Pre-Dig
Do you need help packaging? I have boxes.
Books can be packed together and sent bulk book rate - or are you doing that?
It takes so long for him to recieve the stuff so I am curious to when its being shipped.
No me2 we have it under control.
that answered 1 question
It personally feels good to make someone else feel soooo goood! sooo, I am eager to see Zeph cry when he gets it all! or hear about it anyhow ;)
I love to make a grown man cry ;)

you make me cry all the time!!!!
I musta missed something...why cant they be shipped together?
aaaah Kitch ;)

hmmm k-sooo how many packages were/are sent out?
thats a lot of going to the post office wow
hey I thought someone was gonna post a list of things donated
-many of us didnt get to see all the cool stuff!
It doesnt matter who gave what, I just wanna know the WHAT!
[Edited 2 times. Most recently by on Feb 7, 2005 at 04:23pm.]
I will be posting that list. I just have not had the opportunity to get it online yet. I am off tomorrow so hopefully I can get it done tomorrow.
Things happen with the military mail system. It's just safer to ship them seperate. Cargo trucks are constantly having issues in Iraq.
I don't recall his exact words, but he said he was very excited and appreciative.
ZEPH ROCKS!!!!!!
Now that the hunt is over and we can get back to our normal lives we will have time to get the list posted for everyone. We did have alot going on over the last two weeks between the hunt, kids and work so I hope you all can forgive us for prioritizing.

I know ya wont see this post for like 2 weeks (due to all the slogging), but Ditto to what CM just said.
Zephy -
Its a good think you can't see me - cause I have been giggling about this *secret* thread here for quite some time. good thing my cat has a poker face...Â
At last best guess on the high end was 500 dollars
Holy Crap! That much?
Thats was the high end. There were three bags of just books.
That is the high end guess. Some of the stuff is pretty heavy. The nut goodies alone,.....oh my gosh!!! But this is what we were willing to donate. I would spend $1000 if I had to. It is our pleasure. OTS and I had some very good support when we were overseas. hundreds upon hundreds of dollars worth of goodies. This is something we have wanted to do!!!!!! Thank you everyone who donated postage this is a great help. But please understand this is not a burden by any means. This is something we wanted to do to show our support!!!!
