21 Nov 04 - 06:22 AM (#1334312) Subject: GeorgianSilver goes to Romania From: Rasener Mike is about to go on a very worthy cause to Romania. I would like to wish him and all that travel with him, good luck and a safe journey. Quote from Mike Just a few lines to let you know that I am going to Romania on Friday 26th November as expected, to deliver shoe boxes full of goodies to the Childrens homes my Church supports and Street Children. This will be a new experience as we are travelling overland in an Ambulance/coach on which we will be sleeping for the ten days. It will be extremely cold and we cannot use the heating on the coach at night as it would drain the battery so will have to wear loads of layers of clothes to compensate. I know some of you will be praying for the trip and would ask the rest, please give us a thought during that time. Best wishes, Mike End of Quote |

21 Nov 04 - 08:55 AM (#1334388) Subject: RE: GeorgianSilver goes to Romania From: Georgiansilver WOW, I did not expect this!! Thank you Les for starting the thread and thanks to you all for your best wishes. To keep you up to date:- I bought a couple of pairs of Long-johns yesterday and will be buying a -22 degrees sleeping bag this week. It is a real adventure for me and will allow me to see...first hand...the plight of the street kids. Apparently we are taking much more than I thought...there are over 2000 shoe boxes of goodies and nearly as many wrapped presents to distribute. I will update when I return and hopefully get some photos on here. Once again, thank you for your good wishes. Best wishes to you all, Mike. |

21 Nov 04 - 09:53 AM (#1334419) Subject: RE: GeorgianSilver goes to Romania From: Oaklet Mike - If you wear conventional underpants beneath the long johns - you can get a solid fortnight out of them before you start receiving complaints. Just a though to speed you on your way. |

23 Nov 04 - 03:58 AM (#1336262) Subject: RE: GeorgianSilver goes to Romania From: Sttaw Legend Good on ya Mike - don't believe Oaklet about the underpants, its much more hygienic to turn them inside-out half way through your journey. Besterish wishes |
|
23 Nov 04 - 04:33 AM (#1336272) Subject: RE: GeorgianSilver goes to Romania From: Oaklet But then you risk compromising the hygiene of the inside-of-the-seat-of-the-trouser-area at some point, during the second week. Don't listen to him, GS and come back safe and fresh. |

23 Nov 04 - 11:24 AM (#1336544) Subject: RE: GeorgianSilver goes to Romania From: Georgiansilver You are all so kind. As for the underwear!!!!!!! I have a pair of undies for every day of the trip........................ They will be turned backwards, inside out and round and round as the days go by...they may even need washing when I get home....... I am joking of course but I have bought a couple of pairs of long-johns to ward off the cold. Best wishes and thanks to all you wonderful well-wishers. |

23 Nov 04 - 12:44 PM (#1336632) Subject: RE: GeorgianSilver goes to Romania From: Oaklet You could try wearing ladies tights as well. This is very effective in cold climes but a bit impractical unless you incorporate access in the top. By the way and I don't know if this is helpful - if you have a flame-effect gas fire, (they are rubbish as heaters but not bad as ornaments) the only beneficiaries are the bastard sea gulls that perch around the chimney pot, immune to the carbon monoxide and consuming my thermal energy from the exhaust. What I do is net and stun the warmed seabirds and stuff them into my ladies tights. Better than a hot water bottle any day. Have a great trip GS and let us all know how you are getting on with the underwear. |

23 Nov 04 - 07:30 PM (#1337051) Subject: RE: GeorgianSilver goes to Romania From: Georgiansilver Yes Dave, I did try the tights once when in a panto but can't say I like the feel of them( ON ME ANYWAY!!!). I love the feel of them on and off the female form of course! Best wishes. |
