Too Tall: We have had a very mild winter this year-unusually so! All told only maybe couple inches of snow. Temps. have been way warmer than normal too. Kind of nice for a change. Didn't envy you at all!

Good way to put it Carol Ann, I didn't list it on the custom form either. I had enough other stuff in my package to cover the weight category. I usually only write "snacks, books, toiletries". I've sent batteries twice and they made it through, anything legal I can do to help my sailor...I will attempt.
Carol, you are normally the one getting blasted with snow. When I was heading to PIR we had to leave home early because of the snow that was heading through Ohio and we wouldn't have made it to Great Lakes had we not left early. This snow that we just dug out from was our first snow of the season which has not been good for our local ski slopes

Too Tall: I have a brother who lives in Phillie, his two daughter in VA, a friend in Brooklyn NY, and a neice who lives right outside DC. I was back and forth with them all on FACEBOOK during the big snow storm. They were posting pictures of the snow/wind as it was coming down, the aftermath, playing in snow, digging out, etc.I am so glad it missed me here in OH!

Good morning ladies! I had to put my 2 cents in about the battery situation. Technically we are NOT supposed to send them batteries. My son begged me on his last deployment as he needed them for his fan and ran out of the extras he took knowing this. He tried to find them in port and there wasn't any. I know you are not supposed to, but I put in his pkg and didn't claim them. Listed fictional something else on the claim form that covered the weight and sent them anyway. But I didn't tell you all this. The way I figured this was if I can make his life a little more comfortable and fulfill his request I am sure gonna! The least i could do for him while he was deployed.
