O know the feeling! I was using friends, and we'd swap boxes back and forth
(which was pretty cool actually) but much of hat I just 'did without' (didnt
want to ask for, kinda pricey stuff) I could have mail ordered.

Hey, where you at? If there's something you can't find (could be grits,
could be anything else) let me know at the email here and I might be able to
ship it. FPO is pretty cheap. My local asian market has a good assortment
of that sort of stuff if you are in Europe. Use the same box and send back
anything locally interesting <g>. Not expensive stuff, just whatever you
think would be fun. I used to mail back packs of chopsticks (pretty ones,
not the disposable wood ones) I got for 100yen, toss in some dried
mushrooms, local Japan hard candies, etc.
