[BWM] I have done a lot of "catch up" reading today and I feel the need to say something in regard to "where we are" at the moment. Not necessarily in regards to the IQD but things in general. I hear, see and live many of the problems that some of you face every day.

I see the stories of loss both physically and financially and I hope you understand that while you come on these boards looking for hope and solice you need to understand that while the IQD and VND may answer some of your problems, some of the "routines" or "practices" that you have unless they change will not allow this opportunity to realize the full potential within your lives.

I don't want this to turn into a sermon of a religious nature (I realize that many worship differently) but you need to understand that your "faith" cannot be in this solving your issues. I have days where my wife and kids say, "well are you going to be off the computer or phone today to do something?"

I do feel a tremendous loyalty to being here daily and trying to "solve" this whole thing BUT I also realize that nothing I do can possibly move this any faster and I have to step back and PRIORITIZE what IS important. Money will solve a lot of problems but "it won't fix stupid" as I have heard a wise old man say once... Take time, do what you NEED to do for yourself AND YOUR FAMILY... NOW and in the FUTURE.

10:30PM CST 3sIntel[BWM] the bridges are full this morning...

[BWM] again the problem with giving a deadline is twofold. First, you prolly added more time than you really expected anyway just to be safe, so when you get halfway thru you're prolly missing it already... and secondly, you put too much expectation on the rest of the ppl listening to you which causes the "rollercoaster" affect... some will never learn

[Scotzgirl] BWM as regards waiting for windows - sometimes if it doesn't walk like a duck, or quack like a duck, there's just no duck!

[BWM] Scotzgirl there's a duck somewhere... they just missed the Migration effect

[Scotzgirl] BWM thank you and DW and all for helping me get off the rollercoaster. I'm no longer "listening" to windows being opened or closed, just waiting for it to be done. Sure has helped me keep emotions and expectations in check.

[BWM] Scotzgirl you know if you like the whole "XX hours til it happens" and you can keep it level day after day, then more power to you... I just don't think it's fair to continue to do it when you see the track record

[BWM] It's been a great day... some quality family time and some really good phone calls..

[dinarrocks] Do we know what the rate set forth by the budget is?

[BWM] dinarrocks yes... but that was built originally in 2010

[wittsend] BWM It amazes me how some folks ignore or do not comprehend how this RV process has changed in the last 13 months.

[BWM] wittsend ppl have not taken into consideration all the changes that have occurred...

[strongbow] BWM Do you have any info about a special meeting that took place in Washington yesterday with a high level person from Iraq?

[BWM] strongbow not as important as you might think... backup

[BWM] well reason 2590 that I don't say some things in chat... it appears that some of the "bad news" of the day didn't pan out...

[BWM] I'm still keeping tabs on that just in case... but the reasoning at least gives me hope it will not play a part in the big picture

[BWM] OH and BTW (that's By the Way if you're translating) if you have to come into a chat to post you're NOT talking... um, you sort of defeat the purpose... just saying

[BWM] oh yeah... and if I have to give you permission to post... that's prolly too late also

[BWM] It's been one of those days... good news followed by not so good news...

[BWM] news today has been good in the fact that there is movement in a positive sense... but that was tempered by some other information that is yet to be determined if it could have underlying issues with the big picture... I know that sounds vague but I really can't elaborate on those things

[cmoore] Bwm. If the Underlying issues are in fact true..how long could this set us back..thx

[BWM] cmoore that's the big question... again, Iraq has done what they NEED to do for the RV... at this point I feel it's about global stability

[woodguy61] BWM Global stability will never be perfect , so PUSH THE BUTTON. By not pushing the button they are just adding to Global Instability with world economies going down the toilet

[BWM] woodguy61 it doesn't do governments any good to revalue then fall apart...

[bahamamama] BWM Do you think the US will head back to Iraq?

[BWM] bahamamama it's documented we are never far away...

[BWM] dinarrocks my thought process has never changed... I can tell you whether I believe there is a chance for it to occur at this time... for those that continue to put out times and numbers... plain stupid. period.

And worse to give out numbers to banks and or codes (especially if you don't know what they mean) just shows the ignorance OR the blatant idea that you're "helping" ppl by promoting yourself... JMO but how I choose to share... I know ppl want to know more, but the bottom line is, is it really information you can use anyway? no, so let's stick with idea that you want to know if there is a chance for this to occur at this time... IMO, yes.

[DinarWishes] Hope everyone is doing well tonight... Just wanted to stop by and say hello and let you know the proccess is still moving forward and it is looking good... Im waiting to get information from over the pond to see where we are actualy are in this thing... Dates and Rates are all unknown by anyone...

[BWM] GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE...there's a lot of speculation about the date for M's "deadline" and I wasn't going to get into it but so many are throwing the dates around I wanted to cover that... many are saying the 17th based on an article that was released BUT there was also an article stating that it was handed down on saturday before last which would also make Sunday, the 13th as a date also...

SO, what does this tell us? Same thing, you CAN'T trust the articles from Iraq for true, complete information. AND, they don't give ACTUAL deadlines, there's always some "wiggle" room somewhere in there plans...

[drob1111] Bwm; what do you think of all this political turmoil in Iraq
[BWM] drob1111 there's political turmoil in Washington... happens.

oucrazy] BWM . . . so if an Iraqi tells you he'll meet you at 4pm. . . show up at 8? lol
[BWM] oucrazy I'd show up a day later.. just to be safe
....

2:36 PM [BWM] GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE...

[dealdoctor] BWM What is the situation of Maliki in Iraq is he out or just offering to be out?

[BWM] dealdoctor result will be the same....

[codreamer59] BWM Any news? It's been deader than dead!

[BWM] codreamer59 I don't get to judge peace and quiet like that... unless I cut my phone off completely

[BWM] codreamer59 I always have that option to cut the phone off... it's not like I haven't chosen this to be this way... I just keep hoping that every phone call will be the one saying we are done with this...

[dealdoctor] BWM will the new contract for oil from the EU cause the RV to happen sooner?

[BWM] dealdoctor contracts have been in place for some time... and guaranteed....
