1. When MSblaster tells you you will crash in 30 seconds, CHANGE YOUR CLOCK! If you make your clock go back two days earlier, Msblaster will tell you it'll crash in two days + seconds, which is much more practical

Then, go to microsoft.com and download two tools: the security patch against blater (basically makes your system immune to later blaster infections), and the blaster removing tool ( removes the current blaster from your system.

Then, you'll be quiet at last

How long do care packages take?


Mail from the US seems to take about 3 weeks so most foods will go bad in that time. Any cheese which is covered with wax will stay good so gooda & eden cheese will work as would many of the cheese available in a specialty story like hickey farms.

I really love cheese but the army only seems to have these fake processed cheese slices.

The upside of this is that if you can get your hands on some govmint cheese in brick form, it makes great ablative armor.

Oerdin,

What else do you need? Lancer looks like the guy who is to handle this end of things. Can you PM your APO to him? Keep yourhead down and eyes open. Thanks for your service.

Lancer,

Let us know when Oerdin sends his APO. Also, we will need address to send things to you. Thank you for handling this.

OK guys, here's the deal. Send me an email and I'll send you back my mailing address within the next few days. Please keep it to yourselves as I would like to avoid getting unwanted material as much as I can.

My email address is

banung@Oregonfast.net

I'll make an accounting in a new thread. I'll tell what people sent unless they ask me not to.

Foriegn money I'll have to take to the bank and exchange at local miserable rates unless Oerdin wants it, maybe to trade with other coalition troops?

Oerdin, you're going to be up to your ass with summer sausage and gouda cheese...can you think of anything else?

Anyone think of anything else?

Sir Ralph, you might want to edit this thread some... mentions like dildo and so on... You know, that policy - don't tell don't ask...

Some other possible items would be kool-aid but I'm sure Oerdin have those available where he is. Lotion - gotta smooth over those calluses on his hands.

E-mail sent to Lancer, requesting his address.

It would seem like quite a bit of money could come from this, so how about (aside from food items) also getting Oerdin some of the CD's he might like, some reading material to his liking, stuff like that. Or we could divide the money into two or more packages to be sent at certain intervals, to make Oerdin enjoy it for a longer period of time.

What do you want, Sgt Jackson? I will send a minor amount of money to Lancer, but is there anything you need that fits in a small envelope? I will not provide you pot or coke or something like that, but your food seem to suck big time. What spices do you need?

I set back the clock one year, but my comp stil chrashed within a few minutes. I hate that virus, because it can't be found on my computer by any anti-virus program or removal tool, but the problems remain even after trying to fix it. (here we go again...)

Ok, just sent my address to a few people who emailed me at...

banung@Oregonfast.net

This good folks pledged to send something for Oerdin's care package.

I have a spam filter so I'm not worried about the address.

I'll post more in the near future but am expecting the wife to call and I have to go pick her up so I want my line open...gotta go.
