sounds to me as though it has not happend yet but they are moving closer to ending the sanctions.... great news but I wouldn't count on an RV tomorrow. I've heard rumor that it's on the 15th but I think it's a little too soon IMO... I do think we are getting much closer...

Good Luck All..... RV SOON!

To all of us who post here and the other silent ones, this is such a blessing. Let's all high five each other and get ready for our speeches to bosses and better still, the relatives who thought you were nuts. I am reminded of the cartoon - A fellow is standing on a desk. He is peeing. The person seated says - "You're resigning I take it."
