This is also my prayer for healing for your family members ans peace for you and others who wait.

I just saw an article on this. Agave is almost totally pure fructose. The liver does not process fructose like other forms of sugar. It creates "lipogenesis" - a process that turns it into fat - also possibly increasing the bad cholesterol levels in ones blood. Aspertame also has a similar effect, except that it can actually penetrate the blood-brain barrier and create havoc there. It is rough trying to find non-processed, safe real foods these days. Good luckl.

According to Snopes, it is legit...if you Google it there are several mentions of it.

I just bought some from wells Fargo for $57.62 per million plus $7 shipping...must be a customer of WF

If I were sitting at a table with you guys, I would laugh so much my sides would hurt for a week!!! You all are so funny and witty! Thanks for being here.

I am sorry for your loss. You have my deepest sympathy and prayers. I walked a mile in your shoes last April when my husband of 47 years went on home to Heaven. I still have a deep sense of loss - some say it will improve in time...hopefully for you also.

The other question is....that picture --- is that a new 100 dinar note or an old one? Hmmmmmmm Oops - saw answer in another thread - sorry!!!

So sorry for the loss of your friend. You, and their survivors are in my prayers today.

This is what I found in another news article: TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) -- FBI agents raided a business in downtown near Fifth Third Field. The business isin the upper level of a building that borders Fifth Third Field above Frickers. Again, the place was upstairs from the restaurant, and not connected to the business. Around 12:30, we spotted FBI agents' vehicles. According to a source, they were inside the second-floor office of Commercial Energy Products. We're also told the raid may have been issued by the IRS. So far, we have nothing confirmed. As of 5:00pm Wednesday, we're still waiting to hear from the FBI. We'll bring you details as they become available. (Copyright ©2011 WTVG-TV/DT.

Hey!! I used to be a pit crew member for Rufus Boswell's 39 Chevy "Lil' Bit" and hang around Budds Creek, Aquasco, Capitol and 75-80 with the likes of Bob Bernardin, Harry Peapers, Morey Bros, Gene Calhoun and others...and Carlton Phillips "Jelly Bean"..Those were good times. I may be able to replace my 55 Chevy Belair after RV---GREAT.

I tried the link and got this message "This site has been flagged for removal"

Forgot to add : look at the description - are they insinuating that these could revalue? Sorry! Here is the link again http://cgi.ebay.com/IRAQI-10000-DINARS-x-100-PCS-1-000-000-MILLION-BUNDLE-/140569670349?pt=Paper_Money&hash=item20ba9af2cd

Another Ebay auction (this one just closed with no bids) Is this not old currency that is no longer usable? http://cgi.ebay.com/IRAQI-10000-DINARS-x-100-PCS-1-000-000-MILLION-BUNDLE-/140569670349?pt=Paper_Money&hash=item20ba9af2cd

I am not sure, but I believe the next to the last paragraph may have some meaning for us.....cash transactions in the trillions? I don't understand some of their statements, could anyone translate for me? It states: "Emphasizes economists that this project will facilitate cash transactions; because the handling of cash in Iraq is complex; due to the variation in currency exchange between the Iraqi dinar and the U.S. dollar, which could reach the cash transactions to the trillions the require complex calculations to see the results of those transactions in the profit and loss, and others." Am I reading it wrong?
