armymom`s poll Show results | Hide results


Other-poll poll Not baby related: My husband`s older sister whom he`s really close to has been in prison for 7 years and she gets out this Tuesday. I`ve never met her but we`ve written letters a few times and DH is very excited to see her again. My question is... if you were 29 years old and had been isolated like that for 7 years... what are some things that would like to have at home. I want to make her a care package and send it to her but not sure what to get. I figured a few magazines, PJ`s, slippers, nice razor, some hygiene items.. what else? thanks!

i really think her just being home with family would make her happiest. whatever the past is the past. i would want to try to put that behind me personally, and i wouldnt want gifts. i would just want to know i was still loved and supported regardless. so it would mean more to me to have family around and maybe some new clothes lol =)

Her favorite candies (i.e. a bag of snickers, Twix, milkyway etc.)

I agree with the body wash. How about a cooked meal (gift card to grocery store maybe or resturant). She might just want to go out and see the world (depending on if she is not on restrictions). She is just going to be happy that she is out! Hope all goes well!!!

LMAO Pooka! Ha Ha! I don`t know if she likes to do her hair, buy I have those Bumpits and they work so good! Soooooo easy! Some basic make-up items like mascara, lipgloss, etc (if she wears it). Bodyspray. Candles. Maybe a cheap MP3 player with some newer songs on it. A nice stationary set, she probably has some friends she`s made being in there so long, she`ll probably want to write them. Just some ideas, all I could think of that hasn`t been mentioned already. :)

coffee and a nice cup, bubble bath, box of chocolates, a book. How exciting! Let us know how it goes!

Pizza or any kind of food really, when I got home from bootcamp we went to a steakhouse and got a nice meal, I ate mine, my little cousins, and part of my Mom`s lol. My family thought the military starved me! Truth was I ate like that in there too but burned so many calories that I lost 60 lbs in 8 weeks!

chocolate, bottle of wine unless it was a problem before prison, manicure set, voucher for a good haircut, though i would say not to make the care pack too lavish as it may seem she is getting rewarded for bad behaviour

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
