Went to OKC Chase on S Walker today where I have purchased before. 2-3 weeks ago they told me they were no longer selling. Today I got with one of the supervisors. First computer she went to said it wasn't even listed. I told her that was strange-she agreed, as she had helped me with my last purchase. She checked a different computer in a different area and said yes they could still do it-how much did I want. Since I wasn't intending on purchasing today, I asked her what today's rate was. $759 per mill. Going the wrong way, but that will change soon. Paid 767/mill 5-6 weeks ago or so.

Just an FYI

Went to the Chase branch at 122nd and Rockwell today. Bought 1 mil. for 759 and they didn't charge the $5 fee for non account holders if you have a chance, go to this branch. No questions, very helpful and easy to deal with.

Susie don't the people of Alaska get a $1000.00 a year from the state of Alaska from it's oil profits? If we do that in Alaska it's not that far fetched that they would do it in Iraq. They have to do something to bring their country together. Money makes the world go around right?

But can we really see them revaluing to 1.48 and then giving each Iraqi citizen the equivalent of $14,800?

Somehow I don't think so, and if indeed the delay of the handout is as a result of an imminent revaluation, you would have to then think that the revaluation level would be quite low.

I would personally feel more confident of a high reval if it was in no way linked to this promised handout.

Your thoughts please.......

Absolutely would give out $14,800.00 look at Kuwait and they are not near the size of Iraq in potential oil and gas reserves. Iraq is not a poor country.....it has been abused and mismanaged for years under Saddam regime....I read where Kuwait has enough foreign reserves that would cover every single Kuwait citizen to equal $200,000 USD each.....Iraq is an untapped sea of black gold!!! The Iraqi's deserve far more than $14,800.00 and give them a couple of years and you will hear about gifts for newlyweds, gifts for holidays, monetary gifts at the drop of a hat....just do a little research on Kuwait....sure opened my eyes.

Since, I joined here I can't pass the computer room without checking things out, I have not talked to one person on the phone (except that conference call last night), and I have let my house get alarmingly similar to a raid episode on COPS. But the kids are happy 'cause they can have whatever they want, as long as they don't bug me!!! LOL

Question - You said "I called IMF awhile back". How long ago was this call?

The response you got sounds like a "form letter" type answer to your questions. I really feel that if Iraq was in compliance with Article VIII, you would get the same answer. I do not think they would say "yes everything is a go and it will be enacted on XXX date". JMO

I agree with everything you have just said, everything else points to very soon. I had the same questions, How long ago was the call? We know that the currency is transitional because in 2010 it will be changed. Even if it was to be changed right now, so what? Everybody would have so long to trade it in, plus do you think that they would do that after making all of the deals with so many governments? Thats ludicrous. The answer's are what anybody should have expected from any body like that. Not one bit of it bothers me in the least, and I am very heavly invested in the NID.

I still think we're under two weeks unless GOD comes down and tells me otherwise.

March??????????? Why did you even bring this up??????? For God sake. Its my own fault I should have kept reading before I even posted a response.
Sorry folks

Feel free to move this Neno...but I couldn't resist. This is on the front page of Yahoo.

Are You an Internet Addict?
Fri Nov 3, 2006 7:58AM EST

I was reading through an AFP report on Yahoo! News that says Serbia is now treating people with Internet addictions. This counseling center considers anyone who is not interested in daily activities with family and friends as a potential Internet addict and looks for other signs such as spending prolonged hours online, turning to virtual friends, and isolation. I'm not sure exactly how they treat Internet addiction, but they say treatment usually lasts one year.

After reading this, I headed over to Net Addiction and took an Internet Addiction Test (IAT) that told me my Internet usage is causing occasional problems in my life. I won't take that test too seriously because my occupation requires me to be online a lot of the time. However, I will keep that in mind next time I choose surfing the web over, er, household chores. Can you blame me?

Internet addiction can be harmful for those who delve into the darker side of the web, such as online gambling, cybersex, online affairs, and online gaming. But how do you know when you or someone you love is addicted to the Internet? When is it time to pull the plug and seek treatment?

Here's a list of common symptoms to watch out for:

1. Lying about how much time is spent online.
2. General decrease of physical activity and social life.
3. Neglecting obligations at home, work, or school to spend time online.
4. Spending too much money on computer equipment or Internet activities.
5. Feeling a constant desire to be online when they're away from the computer.
6. Going online to escape real world problems.
7. Disregarding the emotional or physical consequences of being in front of a computer all day.
8. Denial of the problem.

There is much debate about the reality of Internet addiction. The bottom line is that anything can be harmful when abused. If you find yourself spending more time online than with real people, then plan for some quality time with the family or friends every other day. Find an activity the whole family enjoys and make a date with them.

I personally disconnect completely every weekend and get out of the house so I'm not tempted to check email. I also have movie nights and "Lost" nights during the week, which are a great excuse to turn off the computer. Different things work for different people, so just find something you enjoy and don't hesitate to shut the computer off.

What do you do to escape cyberspace?

Cheers!
