[How come US Citizens Can't Share in Oil Revenues???]

Because WE pay the oil companies - they don't pay Us! Somehow I think we have that backwards.

Suggestions anyone - Oops in this crowd perhaps I should not ask that question!

Spent 2 hours last month trying to send a photo. This Senior Blonde never managed to get that "easy" chore accomplished.

(at least I did not hear one way or the other, so assume I did not get the photo there). Please "badge" me. I do not need any

more frustration in my life at this particular time. Many thanks.

[Parliamentary Economic Committee proposes the sale of crude oil with the dinar the lraqi to support and increase value]

I always thought the reason Iraq did not sell oil for IQD was because IQD was not traded on the world market - I "believe" the reason was it had no value. Ahhhh the joys of being a Senior Blonde.

[To All DOG and CAT Owners]

Love this. Read it slowly to the two cats who share my home. They meowed hysterically, jumped off the bed

walked across my breakfast plate and exercised their authority by demanding they be let out onto the screened

porch where they could sit quietly and contemplate the morning sunrise while I get ready to go to work!

[Lottery Winner Defend Why She’s Still on Food Stamps]

Does this mean that I may have to give up my $16.00 per month Food Stamps from the State of Florida? Oh, that's right, they

check my bank balance every month to be sure I don't have any "extra" money that I earned during the month. At Age 76 not too

likely that I have a job. Come on Dinars....

I did try to send a photo, however, ..... not sure it worked. Have not seen a photo of me, nor can I find it on my DV site ... love being

a Senior Citizen! Not ready for this "modern" age stuff. I do have a cell phone. When my niece was showing me her new i-phone

I thought it pretty neat and suggested I should get one for me. She nearly fell over laughing. Said, Aunt J - you can't even text yet!!

Maybe next year.

I also think I am verified. I was at one time then had a problem with my DV VIP site, so... not sure.

Think happy thoughts everyone. We are nearly there.

[If you own a home please read this!!!]

Personally I think ALL members of congress should be force-fed the reading of every bill that goes up for vote. Then they could not use the I did't realize that (whatever)was in the bill.

Voters - look at who did and did not vote for this and act according to your wishes. The Congress is supposed to represent "we the people" who elected them.

[VIP MEMBERS - bypass picture instructions here.]

I too am waiting on instructions on how to cut and paste my picture. I can attach the photo to an e-mail, but.... not sure what e-mail address to use that you can receive.

Basic instructions 101 please.

Thank you

[VIP subscription]

Sirs: I paid my membership effective Nov. 1 2010 and was listed as a VIP member until Dec. when my name disappeared. Paid again, last week and am STILL not listed as a member.

What did I do wrong?

[My Subscription]

Help - I I renewed for 3 months on November 1, 2011 on invoice No. 1320173735-134 USD.

However, I have been dropped several weeks ago and have written you by snail mail, but still am not listed as a VIP.

This is the second time this has happened to me and I am not sure what i (we) are doing wrong. Help.

I still have at least 2 more weeks to go on my subscription, but would like to get the advantages if/when

this RV's before the end of January. At this time I plan to re-enlist for another 3 moths, but - sincerely, hope

I don't have to. Oh yes, then I would have $$ and could afford to. How soon I forget!

Can you help get me re-instated in VIP so I can get the cash-in message when the Dinars do their thing?

Many thanks.

[Current Subscription Info]

I am just a plain VIP and thought I was until sometime in Feb. But, when I checked my VIP status, I too had disappeared.

HELP. Am I a member or not. I can look for my credit card payment date if it will help.

[Site's Christmas look]

Love the Christmas look! Especially the snow. In Florida with temps at a predicted 80 degrees today, will "probably" be the only snow I see. "probably" because I still

believe in miracles!

Many thanks and Merry Christmas to all. May next year be a wonderful year.

[US is willing to cooperate with Iraq by training, equipping and arming Iraqi forces]

I hope the US Govt. is smart enough this time around to put a price tag on this "helping hand". I recall hearing on an NPR newscast that the govt

estimated it cost us $60,000 per soldier per year in Iraq - ($120,000 per soldier per year in Afghanastan (spelling?). Not including a soldier's pay.

Probably because it was not big enough to count!

Merry Christmas everyone!

[Economists: it has become necessary to enter Iraq in the World Trade Organization]

He pointed out: that the most important selections are in the legislation of laws that govern goods and services to Iraq and consumer protection laws and control the dumping of the market, organization of tax policy, as well as directing fiscal policy to raise the proportion of investment and reduce public spending as much as possible, and to accelerate the building of infrastructure and a high standard efficiency and solve the electricity crisis in investment away from the routine, and he added to start working through the scientific plan and a clear and quick to support the industrial sector by entering a first stage, a partner with factories suspended from the mixed sector and is later retrieved amounts of support from the profits of that company after the modernization of production and improve product quality and diversification.

He stressed Kazim on the need to use international expertise that is so, as well as providing support to the private sector through laws and legislation with the allocation of some funds in support of the industries of this sector, and support the agricultural sector and to develop an urgent plan for the return of farmers to cultivate their land and investment products and provision of seeds, fertilizers, machinery, agricultural equipment and production requirements of agriculture.

As Chief Economist Nazim Ugaili the

need and importance of that government have a clear economic policy, the phases stimulate the economy and create the infrastructure and then move to the production of active and continuing to raise the material returns at the end of the transition to the final stage, which includes the broad development and diversification of sources of production and upgrading of services, and the fact that the country is ready to enter the World

Don't I wish we could change the country from Iraq to USA and send it to our "great leaders". Perhaps they need more ideas on how to deal with our economy - especially paying attention to the (partial) sentence set out above. Sorry, I am not up on how to change color of print, etc. but hope you get my idea.
