Any idea how long until these come up again?
Assuming they will, of course.

I've been patiently waiting for these to come up again. I keep missing them. As far as vacation and outings, my summer's over, but I can definitely save them for next year. So I'm definitely in for one (or 24)........

The one box I have opened myself of the 4boxes I have received did not have the us flag, pink or peace sign in it. I had the Flames, 2 shades of blue, the military( light olive) green, orange, camouflage, red, red with floral and paisley pattern and blue with floral and paisley pattern. So it seems that the patterns/ colors may vary from one box to the next. 2 and a half of the boxes I received were donated to my MS support group. And as others have said when ever I show them to someone or tell them about these they want some and want to know where to get them( including the Physicians Assistant at my MS docs office). YMMV ~~Jinx "I reject your reality and substitute my own" - Adam Savage, Mythbusters Flings Flung: 40 total orders- Regular items- 22 Orders, 40 items; MB/AMB- 16 orders, 23 MBs/AMBs; 2 Canceled( 1 voluntary, 1 bad batch of Batteries w/ Chargers) In 9 months of Flings I have already surpassed my purchases of almost 2yrs on that other DOD site where it's nearly impossible to get their mystery 'bag'... lol ~~Jinx

DANG IT!!! One call to work, one friggin email server down and I miss it!!! I have been waiting for these to come round again and BLEW IT! I got a couple in a MB once and gave them to my Mom and Dad (Mom lost her hair to chemo and loves these as the bandannas get a bit warm for her, she wears the camo one and her friends just LOVE it plus it keeps her new 'chrome dome' as she calls it cool in this heat).
Anyone wanting to trade a few for whatever I have (Skype phone? Yahoo phone? Prestigo remote? 3' Digital Optical cable? Highway 420 beaded pillow still in the bag? Lighted data sensing USB cable?) PM me!

Just a note to add as I have gotten quite a few PM's about Mom. I was not trying to be frivolous in what I said about her, she is battling her second go-round with a strain of Ovarian Cancer. When it first happened she was quite down, then when she went for chemo she met a group of wonderful people that helped pull her out of her funk in ways we, her family, could not. Through them, she has seen that her perception of this horrible affliction, which through her childhood and early adult years spelled certain death for anyone afflicted with it, has become something which can be fought and survived.
Right after she first found out about it, she and I had already planned a cruise to Hawaii, 5 islands in 5 days then 5 days back across the Pacific to Ensenada, MX. Knowing what was happening inside her made this a very difficult decision to go through with and it caused her a great deal of trepidation. The doctors told her to go if she wished and they would start treatment when we returned, so she made the decision to go on. Nothing could have been better for her. I hate to bring up religion in a public forum such as this as many do not hold the same beliefs as others, and in fact, my own religious beliefs vary widely from my Mothers, but she met some people on the boat that helped her deal greatly with what she was going through and embarking on. It helped her greatly and lightened our load, so to speak, allowing us both to enjoy the wondrous beauty of the Hawaiian Islands, also allowing her to share with me something she and my Father enjoyed a few years back.
I could tell it was taking a mental toll on her and physically it was quite demanding at times. However, she came through it and when we got back she started her treatments and met another group of people struggling with many of the same difficulties she was. Through their encouragement and energy, she has come to quite a positive outlook as she knows she is going to defeat this a second time now. She has thrown off the shame of her newly hairless look and has inspired us to keep as positive an outlook as she. Are we scared, of course we are, however, we continue to look at this positively and every advance she makes strengthens her and our resolve.
She has come quite a way from her fears and shown us that with a positive outlook and a good sense of humor about it all, she will eventually win out. I just wanted to share this with you all, and hopefully explain what some of my presumptively crass comments were, they come from her wonderful sense of humor and were not meant to offend anyone.

I am so broke right not it's not even funny. What is funny though is that you finally got more of these now that the temperature is cool and nice. I hope these get a lot opportunities like before so I can take advantage of them when I'm not tapped out.
And, I'm in Ohio, and it's a soda. There are many varieties, but my favourite is the real thing. In fact, I think I'll have one now.

Too cold in the north east lately, But great to grab a few for those warm months in the near future. I'd grab more heaters at this point. Saving on the gas bill. TY TF.
