Discount-Mats

ok... first read this article:

Below is an email exchange between a friend of mine's husband and a company that sells different types of mats. He is stationed in Iraq and was inquiring as to whether or not the company ships overseas. He wanted to get the troops better gear to sleep on. This is the companies response. I am floored. I am floored as a military wife and as an American. Please repost this so that this company will hear us loud and clear that we do not stand for this. Whatever your view is on this war — these troops are just following orders. Most are passionate about what they are doing. You can disagree with the war without disrespecting our troops.

Do you ship to APO addresses? I'm in the 1st Cavalry Division stationed in Iraq and we are trying to order some mats but we are looking for who ships to APO first.

SGT Hess,
We do not ship to APO addresses, and even if we did, we would NEVER ship to Iraq. If you were sensible, you and your troops would pull out of Iraq.

Seat Guru - Fantastic

Ok.. it has been awhile. Merry Xmas, Happy New Year, etc.. to all since the last post. I got back from a trip to asia. Having sat through numerous planes, I find this site would have been helpful when reserving my seats on the plane..

The ultimate source for airplane seating, in-flight amenities and airline information -- seatguru

Now I will know in advance whether I sit next to the stinky noise washrooms in the back or whether I am one of the last few to board to plane.
