Has everyone already mailed their "Halloween" packages?  I have not, was waiting until the first of October. 

I did...I mailed mine last Tuesday. The gruop of guys I support only gets mail every couple of weeks or so. I wanted to make sure it got there in time so they could play with their Halloween toys

My groups usually get them in a week to 10 days.  I'm planning on mailing my Halloween packages sometime this week.

I'm sending my last ones out Monday. Like Free said around 10 days to get there.

Thought I'd revive this thread since its about that time to decide what to send and was wondering if anyone had come up with any new, fun ideas to send over! 

I've got mine ready - One of my contacts has agreed to put together the goody bads, since it's not allowed to send opened sweet. I got all kinds of candy corn (requested) toys, decorations - hmm and judging by the weight, the kitchen sink. LOL

A quick question tho - does anyone know when the weather starts cooling off in Iraq? I'm worried about the chocolate candies.

I received my shipment of "Bubba Teeth", silly glasses and wigs last week! Going today to get candy so I can get a few packages out to my contacts in Afghanistan that only get mail once a month.

Michelle,

Some areas are okay for sending chocolate now, and others want chocolate and don't care if it is melted!

Temps in Iraq: I just heard that it has "really cooled off now!" It's ONLY 100 degrees instead of 130. (Get out those sweaters!?!?!)

If its cooled off, I haven't noticed yet :) Still really hot. But you shouldn't be worried about sending 'thick' chocolates like candy bars and stuff. I'm not too sure 'thin' chocolates like peanut butter cups and 'turtles' would make it in once piece yet. M&Ms are always a safe bet. Good news is... I've already got my halloween costume picked out. G.I. Joe :)

Hmmmmm---I thought for sure it would be blue tights and a red cape....LOL

 

BTW, I was once woo'ed by a Mooney out of RI (actually Virginia transplanted to ancestral lands in RI--old money...lol...wish I'd kept some of it...LOL).  Any relation? Frederick Marshall Mooney... Probably old enought to be your dad or grandad...LOL

Great - thanks Jeff. Hmm - was it hard to find the makings of your costume?   LMAO

 well ok then - I can happily pack up my goodies & send them off to my "adopted kids"!

One of the "girls" in my group just turned 19 - so it is very fair of me to say kids...since I'm probably as old as or older than their parents.

Inky,

 Where did you find all your cute stuff (teeth, wigs, etc.)?

 

Thanks in advance,

Amy

Hi Amy:

Check out:  www.zymetrical.com

I buy silly gag stuff from them all the time and I've done some price comparisons and they have better prices and good customer service. They offer discounts on items based on volume ordered and they also give you a coupon code once you get your first shipment for a discount on future orders.  

Good luck and happy shopping!
