Adster probably checked the CBI site and called it a day...

Don't cha just love slow news days? Just one last thing on the subject of the turmoil right now (and again I apoligize for all of this), in defense of Inscrutable. He was one of the first people to offer a giving hand and is undeserving of the "looking down his nose" comment. I have been in pm's with him on a few occassions prior to this and he has always been very helpful to me at least. I just wanted to throw this in because at least he does have a heart contrary to popular belief. Ok...Thats the last on the subject...onto the news (if there is any )

Cheers!

Family before Dinar folks.... Family! You spent it hoping to cash in, well, reality is you may NEED to before you WANT to.... I don't want this to turn into a charity thread....

Go ahead. Bash me now....I'm ready....

No need for you to be bashed, you are Right On. The sale of dinars is a resource that should be used as the final resort if financial needs come to life that can't be met.

Merry Christmas gang...Your the BEST!

Cheers!
DayDream

Not to worry DeeDee...

With the heart of Neno, he'll probably dash and dive dumbfounded & yelling like a Mustang with delight into the very pool he would willingly offer to fill all those good hearted gifts...

KarinC and ourhouse37 certainly has gained our hearts and thoughts for support on such a Merry occasion that comes warm with well-wishes and sweet showers of blessings and aid.

YB. - Cheers to ALL and and to you both esp on this special attention!!!

cashing in the dinar I have right now would scarely make a dent, monsieur scrooge. thank you for the kindly advice.

Calling people names will surely motivate people to give you a handout, besides the fact that it is against the forum rules.

WOW!!!
I came home late this afternoon after having been to see/ meet the therapists that are supposed to be working with my youngest daughter who suffers from OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). She refuses, though, so her dad and I go to see them to get tips on how to cope in "everyday life"

Sometimes it's hard to be a single parent(we are divorced); even more so when one of the children is sick...

Anyway, usually I get on the computer in the morning, but that's why I didn't turn it on until late today. First thing I always check my emails, and there was an email telling me I had a PM from DayDream...
After answering her I have spent hours now trying to catch up with todays posts; not until now can I post!

I will copy part of my PM response to DayDream (where she told me she had suggested help for me):

Gee... I am overwhelmed, humbled and very glad... Not offended, not a bit - on the contrary! It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling to have friends - most whom I have never even met! - who are willing to do that for my children (and, consequently, for me).
The only thing I am afraid of is that people will think I wrote that to beg...that was NOT my intention!
But I have always turned to the forums in times of happiness (like when Janya, my daughter, got the scholarship...in the thread "We need info and suggestions" in the dinar forum) and in times of need. Were you in PIPS? Remember when we were going to Hawaii? And then I got the news that I had cancer... I was very upset and sad - and turned to the forum for "moral support"...Because sometimes you just don't want to "drown" the people around you with your problems... (BTW, the cancer was operated and is gone now - and I DID go to Hawaii! )
So that's just the way I am...I say (write) what's on my mind...I don't hurt other people (at least I never intend to), but I never think twice about what I write about ME...and I certainly didn't expect any help!

However, I am EXTREMELY happy and grateful if you and others WANT to help out!!! (I would like a hugging smiley here...we don't have any, do we?)
/snip/

And again... A MILLION THANKS!!!



So, those are my feelings on this. I am very grateful for the help!
However, I would like to adress a point made by some members, namely that we shouldn't have over extended and that we should sell the dinars to make ends meet.
While I agree to a certain extent, there might always be reasons for WHY you did - or didn't - do one or the other thing...

I can't speak for anybody else; I can just, briefly, explain my own situation. I bought my dinars while I had a little bit better economy (a little from 12Daily, a little from Golden Rocks etc). Just 100 000 dinars to start. Then I bought more - but that was for me, my boyfriend, my parents, brother, children etc. So I didn't pay it all; I was just the "middle man" (or rather woman ;) ) Anyway, I don't deny that I DID over extend a bit...but as I saw it I didn't have a choice! I can't work (am sick) so I am on a fixed, very low income. We can't really live in this house without adding some rooms as it is TOO small... the kids need different things... I would very much like to be able to go out at a restaurant SOME time (haven't eaten out - not even McDonalds - for over a year)...So I am desperate.
Then you get the chance to pay some money for something that EVENTUALLY will give "some"(a lot! )money... I took that chance!!! And then things went from bad to worse... So may be I should sell now? But we MIGHT be DAYS away from a reval... And even if it takes more time, I would kick myself if I sold them now and they revalued high...
I haven't bought any dinars the last six months.
If I sold them now, they would be gone in a month (clothes for kids, food etc) and THEN what? As ourhouse/ kristin/ said: "It wouldn't even make a dent..." And then I wouldn't have the HOPE of a better tomorrow...

When I told my children that they weren't going to get any presents this year, not even one of them suggested that I'd sell the dinars. They KNOW that in the long run it will be better for them to skip presents this year but keep the dinars than the other way around...

But now, thanks to my dinar family, they WILL get some!

I will not post more about this in this thread, but since it started here, and all the comments were here, I just wanted to respond...
HUGS to you ALL!!!!! Including those who think I am irresponsible for over-extending!

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart... /Karin
Ps. Couldn't include all the smilies I wanted...:(

I guess I'm a bad guy for having a good life and material items?
And please, make a note, I look down my nose at nobody.

The Reason you have what you have is because Jesus blesses the just and the unjust period. If you don't know that now you will in the end. He is the only way, the only truth and the gift of pardon and eternal life is found only in him. You have a standing invitation at the Lords table, don't ignore it.

But you may ignore me if you wish

Probably feeling a little down like the rest of us because we are inching closer to 2007 without a major r/v so far.

A report released by UNICEF on December 11 found that Iraqi children are the most deprived in the Middle East, the UN Integrated Regional Information Networks (IRIN) reported the same day. The report, a global survey of 190 countries entitled "The State of the World's Children 2007," found that Iraq has the 33rd highest mortality rate in the world for children aged under five. According to the Iraqi Ministry of Health, in the years since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, children have become more vulnerable to diseases owing to a deterioration in the country's infrastructure, the collapse of the economy, and a shortage of supplies. "Thousands of children are displaced nowadays without medical support. Diarrhea and dehydration have become common diseases among them and, with a lack of medicine, what could be considered acute before is chronic today," said Ahmad Walid, a spokesman for the Iraqi Ministry of Health, in comments quoted by IRIN.

not only that the iraqi kill there own childern at the drop of a hat!
