If Maliki is the holdup for the UN to withdraw Iraq from Chapter 7, will he need to be removed in order for that to happen? If so, wouldn't this be a set back till they replaced him? I realize there are more pieces to the puzzle than Chapter 7, but how can they be a independent country without the ability to defend themselves-which means removal from Chapter 7? It just seems that the revalue of their currency would need to be simultaneous with Chapter 7.

This should be the new motto of all animals in Germany........(see the thread Yota posted-My link) Don't ever screw with us leather wearers!!

A couple Sunday's ago.......I believe it was on our local PBS channel, anyway-we watched a two part series about the "Dust Bowl". If that wasn't enough to deal with it also coincided with the great depression. Now, that is a time of hard work and living "without". These days-"living without" means they can't get good internet reception on their cell phones and that's just the end of the world and/or they have to wait 3 minutes for their fries at Mc Donalds-OMG . I remember my grandparents and parents talk of this horrible time......but in a lot of ways they also referred to it as the best of times, because they had family and the freedom to make their own choices, for good or bad. Most of the younger generations don't have a clue-which is why it's easy for someone to sway them in a blinded direction, all for free, of course..... Markinsa....thanks for sharing this!

Or.......someone pull out a gun I hate elevators anyway, if this happened to me.......I don't think I would survive!!!!!!

Click on the "When Plants go Bad"........that's funny too

Really don't have a question, other than the obvious and know you can't answer that one. Just wanted to say "Thank you" for offering the Black Friday Special.......Half Off VIP. Really a GREAT deal and appreciate you doing that for us.....lean times, any savings is awesome. Thanks again!!! Rope

We are being sent email stating we have unpaid balance, and we need to pay that. I've replied to that email stating the problem. But just want to make sure all is correct. Is there anything else I need to do to get this cleared up? Rope

Ok.....got to the discount place.......but somehow it is now charging me triple of what it should be. I really need to get the charges down to one renewal.....I'm wanting to do the 6 month renewal for 47.49.

Adam, we can get to this link.....but it's asking for email and password......not sure of the password to use, nothing is working to allow us to continue.....

When you click on your "VIP Subscriptions" there is an address there.

We can't select 6 months or above either. It automatically does the 3 month, no other option.

OMG.........well so much for their theory...now all I want to do is go get a Big Mac AND it's Monday They just better leave chocolate alone.......now that will be a cold day in hell for sure All for OUR health of course...yeah right!!!

IMO....this is part of the problem with younger generations-everything is paid for. They grow up thinking someone is always going to take care of them.....no clue on how to be self supporting-these same young adults vote-guess how they will vote? When you have to pay for your own college education, buy your own car, don't you appreciate it more? Parents are paying for their children into their twenties.......for education, insurance, just about everything. How do you learn to appreciate and respect the hard work in achieving goals, if you truly don't have to "work" for it. Now on the other side.....through my job, we hire college students who qualify to be in the "work Study" program....these kids are from families that can't afford to pay their full ride, they have to get jobs to pay for food, housing etc. they know how to work for things and appreciate having a job. You can see the difference in the kids that don't have to pay for anything and the ones that work.

Why don't you ask Michelle Obama? It appears wherever you want, especially when the "country" is paying for it.

Haven't been able to log on to DV all day today....server issues? Just now able to get back on.

So this is like another Ramadan. We wait another 30 days for them to do anything? What are they waiting for .......Santa to bring it? This is realllly getting annoying. After this 30 days, we'll be hoping for February 20??......I'm doubting this is going to happen anytime soon.

I find it ironic we are waiting for a country like Iraq, to revalue their currency-so it will solve some of our problems. When in all likelihood, we are on our way to becoming just like them. A lot of similarities if you stop and think about it, we are not the same in a lot of ways either, but where will we end up? I don't know, not a lot of faith in the way things are going, can we rely on the other leaders in our country to keep us from becoming another "Iraq"? How will the government function with no labor force to support it? And more government jobs are part of the cure? I'm no world economist, but I bet a fifth grader could figure this out Most of the threads about the USA news are already sounding a lot like Iraq news threads, the names have been changed to protect the guilty. I just wish we weren't so damn broke to get stocked up: I have plenty of toilet paper, would like to get more bullets. Won't be long and there will be sites set up to see when the dollar will revalue My guess is the site will be in Chinese...... One more time....Go RV!!!

Bumper64: This is in regards to the PM we sent to you last night: I had asked if that VIP email had been sent out (10/25/12-said it would be going out slow-if not received it by Sat-27th to look into it), because we haven't received it yet. So was just making sure our email is ok........ Adam then sent us a message this morning, with suggestions on what to do. Well, we have not had problems receiving VIP emails or "newsletter" sign up emails before. All of Adams emails are on our whitelist. Still not sure if the email was even sent to VIP's? So maybe, there really isn't an issue with our email, it's just not been sent yet. I would be PMing you & Adam, but it is telling me, we don't have permission to do that now (?) Just to be on the safe side, I will be contacting our email carrier to double check things. It's just something we want to get cleared up. Thanks for your help. Rope

Cris......You are awesome. I applaud your patience and willingness to help out By golly...I think you found Nemo!!!

Thanks Ladies for sharing a personal, precious piece of your lives. This sharing is good, it reminds us to put all those petty, little things aside and remember life is way too short to waste on those things and work on keeping that love alive and growing. We may not have it tomorrow. Many would give anything to have those muddy footprints on the freshly mopped kitchen floor.................. Love & hugs to you all Rope

Welcome back Smee!!! Loved your post too! Take care. Rope

Came across this on Craigslist, thought it was pretty clever: Fifty-year old manure spreader. Not sure of brand. Said to have been produced in Kenya. Used for a few years in Indonesia before being smuggled into the US via Hawaii . Of questionable pedigree. Does not appear to have ever been worked hard. Apparently,it was pampered by various owners over the years. It doesn't work very often, but when it does it can sling **** for amazing distances. I am hoping to retire the manure spreader this November. I really don't want it hanging around getting in the way. I would prefer a foreign buyer to relocate the manure spreader out of the country. I would be willing to trade it for a nicely framed copy of the United States Constitution. Location: Currently being stored in a big white house in Washington , D.C wake up America.

We have Chrome, couldn't get into DV and/or chat......then DV had server issues so figured that was the problem. However, then I noticed I needed to update Java so I did-ta da....chat worked. But the refreshing/waiting issues are still there. So maybe it has something to do with the cookies?

We're having the same problems. Must be something to do with the server change, that seems to be when it all started. Oh well......
