Nihil Obstat Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I ordered a rifle that shipped from Vancouver via a regular courier company. They just threw it in a cardboard box with a fragile sticker and that was that. Three days door to door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Wednesday Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 If you miss WA you will also want some Chucks Donuts in that list. Best maple bars ever! I recently had to cut out gluten and dairy.... so that made my care package considerably shorter. Otherwise, I'd want a big jar of the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf cocoa powder. That's California and not Washington, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Wednesday Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 @Gabriela I'm more or less paleo now...every time I gut out grains and dairy my eczema seems to get better, I'd love to talk paleo with you sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgnatiusofLoyola Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Since then I have decided to add two more things I feel are essential. Are care packages supposed to be things that are essential? Or special treats that either aren't available or that you wouldn't buy for yourself? My list could be considerably longer, if I gave it some thought. The only absolutely essential thing would be my cat. I made a promise to take care of her when I adopted her as a rescue cat 8 years ago. She'd had a tough life and had lived in five homes in her two years. She came very close to being euthanized by her former owners because they did not want to take the time to figure out what was medically wrong with her. (Their vet was shockingly inept. It took my vet 5 minutes to diagnose the problem and come up with a solution.) I would not willingly break my promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credo in Deum Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 They just threw it in a cardboard box with a fragile sticker and that was that. Three days door to door.

A care package is supposed to contain all the things you'd need to get you through a gender dysphoric breakdown. So, aim high! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
