Oh if only I had a Mr. Potato Head to keep me company in the dorms. Maybe he could have convinced me to stay there and finish school. Maybe he would have made psychic predictions and told me what awful jobs I would work if I didn't listen. That would have scared me into staying!!

Good suggestions (Reply to this comment)

I would add the following: a Mr. Potato Head for company and to fill empty minutes,
a vacuum cleaner to keep things tidy,
and potato snacks, either chips or sticks.

Hi Brandi,
So true. I wish for you a bounty of care packages.
At the same time, I would like to remind any family members who might run across this that I need books in the care pakages. I am sickened, sickened by all the baby toys and clothes you all are sending, not to mention childrens books. Look send me some classics and will read them to the kids like they were Little Red Riding Hood or something.
That is all.

Gary

BTW: It was a good review. I read it a second time.

Great job, Brandi! I am in the middle of packing a care package now for my daughter. She gets one every week from me!

My best,

My niece is heading back for her Junior year in a few weeks and I always like to send her a nice package to start the year as her mom lives overseas.

Thanks for the tips on care packages. I am printing this review and distributing them to all I know.

Many people have family in Iraq as well as college and your "packed with ideas" review will suely come in handy.

Thanks again.


My best,
Carol

VN Review. Thanks for the reminder. I haven't sent my son a care package for a while. I used to send one rather frequently, but lately I've been busy and haven't done it. I am going to get him one together this weekend. I always include little surprises for his girlfriend too. Makes em both happy.
