I think in the end what amazes me so much about this is not the furry snark/flame/etc but the sheer volume of people who really think they have the god given right to let their kids scream anywhere, anytime, loud as they want and everyone around them has to like it. There's an enormous amount of venom being projected at me because I think parents have to be, you know, parents. My feelings aren't hurt or anything I'm just fascinated. When did taking responsibility for your kids go so out of style?

Oh and someone just kindly took the time to explain the "white knight" thing to me. (Apparently an element in flame wars) so please don't take this post as me asking folks to go over there and get involved. Just read and ponder. :) |

| Because our shit gov't does not take care of our soldiers... |
[May. 9th, 2008|02:46 am] |
EDIT**This entry made public by request. When this incredibly stupid war finally ends I'll put this post back into friends only. (I'm a gal who knows how to celebrate.)
They need things like socks, toothbrushes, and sunscreen. They are begging for bras, tampons, foot powder and lip balm. If our gov't does not value them enough to spring for actual body armor, proper training and medical units that are not infested with black mold you know they don't give a shit about these basic needs. (Don't even get me started on the medical insurance situation re: follow up care.)
Go to http://anysoldier.com/WhereToSend/ and then click on a soldier-contact's name, read the blurb he or she has posted about what his or her unit wants, and then click again to request a form (asking for your own addy and name) to get the appropriate address for that unit. You must not send porn, and you must not send packages that contain both food and soap/sunscreen/etc in the same box. No pork products. No anti-islamic tracts in bulk. No political content. No flea collars. No depictions of naked or partly naked people. No explosives, firearms, other shit that is illegal to mail anyway. Don't send chocolate, it melts. You must request the address to send your package to on the same day you mail it.
Things particularly in need:
* Personal letters from you.
* Army surplus boot socks.
* Toothbrushes
* Razors
* Gel body-washes
* School supplies and toys. Beanie Babies are extra good being small and hard to break
* paper, pens, pencils for the actual soldiers, tampons
*Varios kinds of underwear by unit.
* The special tee shirts that go well under body armour.
* Sunscreen
* Lip balm
* foot powder anti-fungal foot-spray
* insta soups
* Snack foods like doritos.
* Paper back books
* Microwave noodles.
* 220 volt adapters, and batteries.
* Prepaid telephone calling cards.
* hot sauce
* baby wipes
* canned tuna and cat food
* dental floss
* Powdered drink-mixes, especially 'propel' and 'gatoraide' for mixing with bottled water.
* Shaving cream
* toothpaste.
* Dvds
* PC games for lap tops
* nuts, seeds, granola bars, and dried fruits
* Unscented body-lotion that both men and women can use
* Sports bras
* Tampons and maxipads |

| Less drama more bran! |
[May. 1st, 2007|06:01 pm] |
As part of my new "less drama more bran" plot..I mean plan..I've decided to avail myself of the mass security tool and just make this whole journal friends only.
People seeking info on kinjouten, rialian, sheta, meridjet, kevin filan, or any of the other flying monkeys can email me for access to archives and other information. (Though I hope most people have better things to do with their time!)
Have no fear! My insipid ramblings shall continue! :) |
