  1. I had a math teacher in college that was very sensitive to noise from the class, so one day I distributed bells to the class and had them tie them to their shoes.

    When he was writing problems on the chalk board we would take turns ringing our bells. I could see him twitching, but he knew we were playing one on him.

    So since we got no response that day, the next day we pulled our next stunt. The man could not teach a class without writing everything on the board, so before class I

    gathered all the chalk from our room and from the room next door. So here we were in class and he was explaining some elaborate problem to us and when he reaches for

    the chalk it is not there. He couldn't believe his eyes. I'm sure he was thinking there had been plenty of chalk in the last class he had taught. Frustrated he sent a student to

    the room next door. He he he- I could hardly keep it in. The poor man just couldn't keep it straight the rest of the hour.

  2. The part that doesn't make sense to me in BL's analysis is saying the CBI is buying up all the Iraqi citizen's dinars and replacing it with USD.

    Iraq has been fighting dollarization and, especially since the troops are now gone, why would they promote using USD with their citizens?

  3. If I read this right... it does NOT say chapter 7 has been lifted. It says measures have been taken... (to aid foreign investment) to lift chapter 7.

    In other words, they are taking measures to have chapter 7 lifted so it does aid foreign investments. That isn't new.

    They have been actively petitioning to get out from under chapter 7 for quite some time now. What I want to read (IN THE GAZETTE)

    is "Iraq's Chapter 7 has been removed." Then I'll be dancing!!!! lol

  4. Bond Lady,

    I have always enjoyed reading your posts because they reflected a lot of hard work and a lot of thought on your part.

    Because of this I went in search of your web site. You have always stressed that negativity was not allowed there.

    Yet in response to keeps post, you publicly bashed him on your site. I read his post and did not feel it was discourteous

    to you at all. He was just offering a different opinion. Making fun of him and easy rider is uncalled for and as

    negative as it comes! It is you who should apologize to Keeps!!!!!

  5. About a year ago I had a dream, it wasn't like my normal dreams and I was able to clearly recall it when I awoke. I was traveling down a long dusty rut filled road with a friend from church.

    We were searching for a specific bank that would allow us to cash in. We were in a convertable with the top down. We kept hitting pot holes and it seemed we were totally lost when we pulled up

    to a bank and parked across the road. When we inquired in the bank if this is where we cash in, they said no, its across the road under the big tree. So sure enough , under the big tree was what resembled

    a fruit stand table with two women sitting behind it. I was increduous when I asked if this is where I cash in. They assured me it was. Then one said, "The IQD really shot up last night!" I asked her what it was now.

    and she replied, "$5.40. I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. I went to get my dinar from the car. It was in a fruit crate. My friend and I just talked among ourselves as these two women counted our dinar out by hand.

    I have thought a lot about this dream since then, and I feel the long dusty, pot filled road has been this journey we have been on waiting for the Lord to bless us. The convertable represented the change that will happen.

    They were at a fruit stand and the IQD was in a fruit box because we are being blessed to bear much fruit for the Kingdom of God. I haven't figured out the rate yet, but it almost seems like it is a second rv or perhaps a float.

    I had another "stand-out" dream several months before this in which middle eastern men were in big open backed trucks that were backed into an area. The trucks were filled with giant fruit. Lots and lots of people were lined up in front of them. Suddenly they started tossing huge beachball sized fruit down to us that were wrapped in what looked like burlap. The fruit was so large, each person was only able to get one.

    Again I felt this dream was referring to the fruit we are to bear with the blessing God is giving us.

  6. I don't imagine Belarus has much to offer in the way of supporting their ruble. For twenty years they have been fighting the effects of Chernobyl.

    Their soil and water is contaminated, they have an epidemic of thyroid cancer and children are born with birth defects. I imagine that has depleated

    their treasury. What little they had to begin with.

  7. Kramer dinar- He only has one investment. I talked him and his wife into getting some dinar about a year ago. It was a struggle because he lives on a youth pastors' salary and has 4 daughters.

    They prayed about it, and finally felt like this was how God was going to bless them. Like all of us, they dream about this investment coming through, but there are times when it seems like a fading

    hope. It was in one of those low moments that God chose to encourage them with the prophetic words of strangers. One told him to lay hands and pray over what came in the mail,(this man had no clue about the dinar and that their dinar package had come in the mail /UPS) My friend and his wife did this when he returned home from the youth convention. For me, it was a confirmation that God cares about us, our finances, our families, and our service to Him. Why wouldn't

    God want to bless us in a way that we could in turn be a blessing to so many others?

  8. The UNSC is scheduled to review the situation in their June meeting. Perhaps this article is saying Kuwait wishes this to still

    be on the agenda for this meeting with the possibility of Chapter 7 sanctions being lifted. There has been a lot of positive interaction between the two countries over the past couple months

    and I believe Iraq has made significant efforts to bring these issues to Kuwait's satisfaction. However if Kuwait feels there are still some significant outstanding issues, that may also be the meaning of this article. I'm hoping they have settled their differences.

  9. The deal between the Kurds and The List and its alliances is not done yet but looking very good. The Kurds are in charge at this point and Barzani wants the ROUND TABLE dicussions before a total commitment to any bloc or coalition. Also Allawi point blank told Maliki the List could keep him from getting a second term as PM. Allawi confirms Maliki's attempts to get surrounding countries to pressure the blocs has angered many. Melon states that Maliki's procrastrastination and stalling dialogues is an attempt to avoid dealing with the Iraqi Constitutional right to form a Government which lead to the end of meetings between the SOL and List. It seems everyone is wanting Maliki to GIVE UP and let the GOI be formed under The Constitution. Sistani also said the the crisis has reached the point where the people no longer are in belief of any news from the winning blocs of the election. Sistani fears retaliation by the people if the GOI is not formed soon.

    After Melkert filed a complaint on Maliki Monday his convoy was attacked while in route to Najaf. He was not injured. Many are not talking publically but the Iraqis feel Maliki is behind the attack. al-Sadr member of the SOL Coalition condems this attack saying that the terrorist attacks have not been honest to the Iraqis Union. It seems Maliki is getting desparate and who knows how this incident will affect Maliki's down trod even further. The hole is getting deeper. I will have more later.

  10. Thanks for the information. Its nice to know he thinks this is a solid investment. I'm not sure I agree with his assessment of why it won't rv soon.

    The infrastructure is a mess, but all the contractors they have lined up to fix that mess are on hold because they don't have the funds to pay them.

    Everything that they have contracted to be done needs the rv to happen first so their buying power goes a lot further. So in my estimation they will

    RV as soon as possible to get the ball rolling on this massive rebuild.
