Hello to all – Everything is going fine in the Lone Star state – I very seldome ask or suggest help on xanga butt Spazzmom is really a good trooper and I can never resist helping those that enjoy helping others – All knows I have been in Iraq but very few knows the different moods our service men go through – But I could tell when they received packages and as the following suggests – They really do go bonkers over the smallest of things – Just the fact that people care enough to take the time to mail coloring pages or simple thank you’s – They really deserve a letter at the least – Please help Spazzmom and cheer some of the troops – Thanks to all and I realize 20 is alot to some but a letter would just cost you a little time – Well how much time do you think they give to their country and protect us? ALOT – Some come on all you good people lets help and if you have any questions get ahold of Spazzmom on my favorites — Thanks – John

We have started a new Blogring and desperately need members and support. First let me say that this blog in no way is meant for anything other than lending a helping hand to the USA soldiers that keep our everyday freedoms alive. It is NOT about whether or not you agree or disagree with the war or our government. It is not a place to debate. This is where people HELP people. That person could just as easily be your brother, sister, cousin, son or daughter.
We are looking for highly motivated individuals whose ACTIONS speak louder than words. Yes, we need action!
Please link us and join our blogring!

Have a blessed week & God keep you safe, healthy & happy. HUGS
awesome lol…… did u do it ?! RYC: yeah it does suck but im dealin i guess…….. as for the fire… yeah it was awesome and my brother ate like 25 little smokies
Thanks for alerting me to this. I can hardly wait to get started. I sent some shoes for children just before Christmas. I hope they reached the young man who requested them. I’ve gone and joined both blogrings.
RYC: First place was a very funny blonde young man who sang a couple of songs that he had written himself. My poem taking second wasn’t too bad. Third went to Lisa who danced for us. I’m glad you like my stories. I love making people laugh. Get healed as I can hear that cruiser calling you!
Both of my adopted soldiers have made it home safely. Through the one, I kept sending toys and things to do for the whole division like I used to do with my baby brother. Making him the moral officier. had such fun seeing him display it all on his xanga site and the thanks from the guys. I sent Jenga, footballs, catch games, travel magnetic chess games, cards, some desert micromachines, paratroopers and rubber duckies. They had fun!
oh i hope you are okay, you will get to feelin better soon. glad to know you are home..you have been in my thoughts and prayers. ill visit spazz’s site and see what i can do to help. you are amazing. thankyou for everything you do!!
ahhhhh a good thing! thanks for sharing it John!!!! have a great day!
I have Joined and I will start a box. I know my son also loved word find books, clickable lead pencils, playing cards, and uno. He said they wore the uno cards out.
John let me knos if there is anything else I can do.
John! Hi There! So glad to hear from you! I was thinking about you just this week and wondering whatever happened to your baby birds.
I started a box to send YOU last year and never got it done! I’m sorry you had a bad spill on your motorcycle. I’m so glad we sold
ours last month. I was scared every time I was on the highway. I only wanted to drive around and look at the countryside.I’m gonna
try to send some stuff, Thanks for posting Spazzmom’s post. Great Idea! So glad you’re OK and I’ll ttyl, gtg to work….Jane
Hi…just joined the new blogring and subbed to the new site spazmom set up for us. what an awesome gig you guys have done. KUDOS! I will link tommorrow when I post so everyone knows. I didn’t post today…no motivation, not much to say…lol Love you buddy!
Hi John, I was thinking about you and decided I would drop in. C has been busy getting back to school and catching up on her homework. Her Friend hasn’t left for Iraq Yet, but when he does she will let you know. I hope your day is great and I miss talking with you.
Hugzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

RYC: It’s a real shame if they are afraid of sharing with a friend some of their bounty. I’m only making it due to the blessing I have of wonderful parents and friends and yet I found a way to send things to some of our soldiers. They don’t deserve to be forgotten. Tsk tsk. Glad you got over that bad habit. I know so many people who figure if they cannot see anybody it’s okay to run the light. Then I wonder what the chick was thinking that ran the red light and plowed into the car my brother and his friends were in. I don’t know. My dad does it too. Me…I like to error on the side of caution, if the light goes yellow and I have room to stop…I will.
Hugs, Babe!
Thanks for sharing the info. I’m going to check out the blog ring when I get done commenting here. Hope you are feeling better after your “spill”.
Hi John,
What a wonderful post. You know… $28 is nothing in order to make our troops feel a bit more comfortable. Thanks. Will be sending out some pez as soon as I can.
Hope you’ve been well, having fun with your beautiful girls.
Have a wonderful day!
8 people joined our blogring since you posted this!!! THANKYOU!!!
