Thread: Has the Blume Fallen Off RR'S Rumor?

In my opinion, most of us know it will happen, just not when, so when we hear rumors that Shabibbi has signed off on revalue, it could very well be true, but it does not mean it will happen this month, this year, or any time line. We have seen this over and over again, so really, what difference does it make?

We all want it to happen now, yet how many would be happy to know that it will happen, just not when we all want it to be completed? Personally, I am confident it has been decided, in fact, I feel it was decided from the start, after all, they wouldn't keep two books for nothing. In addition, we all have to remember the rate was an arbitrary devalue for a reason, and the same holds true for restoring the value.

It has to be restored at some point given all the articles stating it would, so with that, I would think most would be happy just to be on this ride, a journey few will ever get to enjoy, so who cares how long it will be. Lets stop the complaining about the time line rumors and just enjoy the ride. Have fun with it and don't take it so personal. It takes a BIG set to come forth with a timeline, so for those who criticize those that do, look in the mirror, have you ever stepped out of your comfort zone before? Everyone is different here, so lets just learn to tolerate each other and get along, stop the jabs and insults which will make this ride more enjoyable.

Peace, Mike

Mike, "I love you man". Above all, I think you bring the most sound reasoning to this forum. I'm so glad you're here and take the time to post your views.

Thank you sir, thank you very much.

I remember that too!! A couple of years ago, NG tracked her down in Afghanistan for a followup interview and picture...she still has those gorgeous eyes, but, she looks like she is 90 years old. Life has been tough on her that is for sure.

not the same girl!

I had never seen this before. Please say these are 2 different people! How sad...I can't even believe they are the same person. It really brings to light how circumstances affect a life.

look at the mouth and the nose, not the same person. i have an eye of sorts for this kind of thing.

It is the same woman. I read that particular National Geographic issue..the photographer almost wasn't allowed to see her because she's pretty much viewed as "chattel" in her villiage. And yes, her life has been tough.

what is chattel?

chat·tel(chtl)
