May be too intense for some viewers.

I very much appreciate the gifts I have already received from my "top 10 Wishes for Xmas" meme post - they were awesome and will be much enjoyed.

However, I'd like to rescind the rest of my wishes for this year in lieu of help for a local cub that has been left high and dry after a hellish year.

If you were planning to get me anything and have not yet done so please consider the following instead:

• Food - non-perishable is best NOTHING WITH TOMATOES PLEASE (Allergy)

• Clothing - XL or 2XL tops, 38-40 x 29 bottoms (especially jeans) and boxers /boxer briefs, and men's socks of any kind.

• Medicine /Household stuff - cold and flu meds / first aid stuff, laundry soap,  basic toiletries, basic household cleaning stuff (especially multiuse things like white vinegar, baking soda, salt, vegetable oil, rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide).

• If you have an old vacuum cleaner that you could part with.

• Plastic Storage bins

• Help with a car that needs a mechanic to look at it and to be made street legal.  I have some help on that already but if anyone knows a trustworthy mechanic /shop (preferably close to Tucker) please let me know.

• Calling cards or any prepaid phone service thing (he has a cell phone but it may get turned off soon)

If you are local I can come pick stuff up, or you can send it to me, or if you feel comfortable you can PayPal me any contributions you wish (I swear on my milkshake to make sure it is used properly and wisely).

I am going to make a food care package in the next few days as its the most critical right now, but the other things would be helpful too - the sooner the better as he has hardly any socks or underwear for work.

Here's a chance to play Santa Paws  Thanks for anything you can contribute!
