Humor While We Wait....And Wait....And Wait..........

NINE WORDS WOMEN USE...

(1) Fine : This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up. 
 
(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house. 
 
(3) Nothing : This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with "nothing" usually end in "fine."  
 
(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing.

(Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man.  "That's okay" means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake. 
 
(7) Thanks : A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome'.. That will bring on a 'whatever'). 
 
(8) Whatever : Is a woman's way of saying...   Go to H***... 
 
(9) Don't worry about it, I got it : Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3. 
 
 * Send this to the men you know, to warn them about arguments they can avoid if they remember the terminology.

* Send this to all the women you know to give them a good laugh, cause they know it's true!!!

13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

24. People who forward e- mail without deleting the tons of previous recipients should be shot and then tarred and feathered.

25. The first testicular guard, the "Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important. Ladies quit  Laughing!         
                                                                      
Heal the past, live the present, dream the future.  

Enjoy life!!!

Mot: A lady was on holiday and driving through Darwin.

She desperately wanted to take home a pair of genuine crocodile shoes but was very reluctant to pay the high prices the local vendors were asking.

After becoming very frustrated with the "no haggle on prices" attitude of one of the shopkeepers, then she shouted,

"Well then, maybe I'll just go out and catch my own crocodile, so I can get a pair of shoes for free".

The shopkeeper said with a sly, knowing smile, "Little lady, just go and give it a try"!

The Deer Lady headed out toward the river, determined to catch a crocodile!

Later in the day, as the shopkeeper is driving home, he pulls over to the side of the river bank where he spots the same young Deer woman standing waist deep in the murky water, a shotgun in her hand

Just then, he spots a huge 3 metre croc swimming rapidly toward her.

With lightning speed, she takes aim, kills the creature and hauls it onto the slimy banks of the river.

Lying nearby were 7 more of the dead creatures, all lying on their backs.
The shopkeeper stood on the bank, watching in silent amazement.

The Deer Lady struggled and flipped the Croc onto it's back - Rolling her eyes heavenward and screaming in great frustration, she shouts out.........

" CHIT! CHIT! CHIT! THIS ONE'S BAREFOOT, TOO"!

Chasing Dinarainbows and Unicamels by Dr. Dinar

Thank You Dr. Dinar

Chasing Dinarainbows and Unicamels

Is this thing for real? Yeah, this dinar RV deal. This entire GCR thing. Is any of this really and truly going to happen? Like, ever??

I'll bet there are quite a few folks asking themselves those very same questions right about now.

Not just family and friends of those afflicted with the RV Disease. Heck, they've had our rubber rooms reserved for us for many years now. It's nothing new to them that this once in a lifetime pipe dream has yet to materialize.

To them it's no surprise whatsoever that we aren't celebrating our new lives as millionaires. Heck no.

They knew from the very beginning that this pie in the sky, too good to be true Ponzi Scheme was just a scam perpetrated by the banks, the ABC Agencies and the self proclaimed behind the screens Gurus.

And so far, they're feelin' pretty good about their predictions.

And they won't hesitate to continue to remind us of that fact either.

Are you rich yet?

Did your ship reach port yet?

How's that new Ferrari workin' out for ya?

Enjoying your new Beach House?

I'm sure you've all been on the receiving end of those jabs.

The naysayers that continue on with their relentless doubt filled statements, all in an effort to prove themselves right at the expense of your being wrong.

Which all serves to undermine your foundation, even just a little bit. For those of us that have been involved in this made for TV movie for many years, those that have done the research and built a foundation based on history and how it's extremely likely that history will repeat itself, I have a feeling we're fairing a bit better than those that have recently jumped on board the Insane Train.

Yes, I have a strong feeling that those folks among us that are relatively new to the game are going through those initial stages of serious doubt right about now.

Could the naysayers be right, could this all be a scam? Did I fall for another Pyramid Scheme just like my Brother in Law said I did? We all have those twinges once in a while, even us veterans. It's only natural.

At the end of the day it comes down to this being a currency speculation. Yes, a SPECULATION. There are no guarantees. Absolutely none.

We paid our money, we bought our currency, we all (well, most of us anyway) verified that we are over 48in. tall which means we're tall enough to ride this ride. Basically we're committed (some think we should have been committed long ago but that's another story) to this journey, however long it may take.

Long term investment? Yeah, we know. Believe me, we know. After all, how many times have we heard that. Not quite as many times as we've heard "It's goin' down tomorrow" but probably pretty darn close.

Which doesn't bode well for those that thought this was a guaranteed Lottery Ticket. Once they realized that this was going to take some time, they've had to do a bit of digging to create their foundation. A means of hanging on and hangin' in there.

And I feel sorry for those that have yet to go through the initial reality check. We all got in after hearing we only had a few days before it popped and suffering through the not knowing whether our shipment would arrive on time. Yep, been there, done that. And got the Fed Ex envelope to prove it.

Yet here we are, weeks, months, most of us years later and still amazed at how we could still be waiting. Wondering how all of these endless drop dead dates and deadlines could have slid by without a provable peep of factual facts to show for it.

Last I checked all the economies around the world should have crumbled at least four years ago. And yet here we are, with a world seemingly no worse for wear. Go figure.

And now we're back to the sounds of silence. Yep, Dinarland has once again been hushed in to submission and to be honest, the silence is deafening. We've all picked our faves along the way and whether you're a fan of the Newshounds or the Rumtellers, you've surely felt there was someone in Dinarland strummin' the right banjo.

But at the end of the day, here we sit with boxes of funny money and seemingly none of the all knowing Gurus were any more right or wrong than any of the others. We're all on the same playing field wondering who has the ball.

All part of the plan? Perhaps.

Maybe all this confusion was just part of a well executed plan of deception. Myself, I lean more towards the uncontrolled chaos of the situation creating most if not all the confusion. Not to mention all the behind the scenes corruption adding to the confusion. Mix it all together and you pretty much have the scenario we're currently living.

Does that mean we give up? Heck no! Does it mean we aren't any closer than we were when Iraq was released from Chapter 7 over a year ago? Again, not necessarily but maybe so. But we HAVE to be closer, don't we? I'd sure like to think so anyway.

But closer doesn't necessarily mean close. Then again, it doesn't mean that we're not close. It only means that despite how often we might forget, things have happened and things are being done. Just not on our timeline. And not the one thing we want to be over and done which of course is the RV.

It comes down to making a choice. Do we bail out early, sell our currency back or do we continue to stay strong, to fight the good fight and to prove not only ourselves but to our family and friends that we were right.

That this deal IS real. The we aren't just plain looney. That we aren't one Crayon short of a full box.

And to that I respond with a resounding YES! I'm not going anywhere.

I'm in it for the long haul.

I'm going to continue chasing Dinarainbows and one of these days I'm gonna catch me one of them Unicamels and ride it all the way to the bank!

Mot: A Texan walks into a pub in Ireland and clears his voice to the crowd of drinkers. He says, “I hear you Irish are a bunch of hard drinkers. I’ll give $500 American dollars to anyone in here who can drink ten pints of Guinness back-to-back.”

The room is quiet and no one takes up the Texan’s offer. One man even leaves.

Thirty minutes later the same gentleman who left shows back up and taps the Texan on the shoulder. “Is your bet still good?”asks the Irishman.

The Texan says yes and asks the bartender to line up ten pints of Guinness. Immediately the Irishman tears into all ten of the pint glasses downing them all back-to-back. The other pub patrons cheer, as the Texan looks on in amazement.

The Texan gives the Irishman the $500 and says, “If you don’t mind me asking, where did you go for that 30 minutes you were gone?”.

The Irishman replies, “Oh, I had to go to the pub down the street to see if I could do it first.”

GoldPeg9:  The selfless Irish!

The Irish never hesitate to come to the aid of their fellow man (fellow air passengers, in this case)!
 
Shortly after take-off on an outbound, evening Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to Boston, the lead flight attendant nervously made the following painful announcement in her lovely Irish brogue: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm so very sorry, but it appears that there has been a terrible mix-up by our catering service. I don't know how this has happened, but we have 103 passengers on board, and unfortunately, we received only 40 dinner meals. I truly apologize for this mistake and inconvenience."
 
When the muttering of the passengers had died down, she continued, "Anyone who is kind enough to give up their meal so that someone else can eat, will receive free and unlimited drinks for the duration of our 10 hour flight.”
 
Her next announcement came about 2 hours later: "If anyone is hungry, we still have 40 dinners available."

Murphy showed up at Mass one Sunday and the priest almost fell down when he saw him.  He'd never been to church in his life.  After Mass, the priest caught up with him and said, "Murphy, I am so glad ya decided to come to Mass.  What made ya come?"

Murphy said, "I got to be honest with you Father.  A while back, I misplaced me hat and I really, really love that hat.  I know that McGlynn had a hat just like mine and I knew he came to church every Sunday.  I also knew that he had to take off his hat during Mass and figured he would leave it in the back of church.  So, I was going to leave after Communion and steal McGlynn's hat."

The priest said, "Well, Murphy, I notice that ya didn't steal McGlynn's hat.  What changed your mind?"

Murphy replied, "Well, after I heard your sermon on the 10 Commandments, I decided that I didn't need to steal McGlynn's hat after all."

With a tear in his eye the priest gave Murphy a big smile and said; "After I talked about 'Thou Shalt Not Steal' ya decided you would rather do without your hat than burn in Hell?"

Murphy slowly shook his head. "No, Father, after ya talked about 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery' I remembered where I left me hat."

"The Definition of Insanity" By Dr. Dinar

Thank you Dr. Dinar…..

The Definition Of Insanity by Dr. Dinar

As I remember watching episodes of Survivor in the past  I couldn't help but notice the similarities between that "game" and its players and all of us fortunate folks playing the "RV/GCR" game. In fact, I was actually astounded by how similar the two endeavors truly are.

Admittedly quite a few of those folks have a huge head start on us, claiming to be nearly life-long fans of the show, knowing they've been able to watch numerous seasons, endless episodes, all helping to give them an edge in just how to play the game. What to do... and what not to do.

Strangely enough, even with all that prior knowledge at their fingertips, more often than not many of them play as if they've never seen a single episode prior to first jumping ship and swimming to shore.

I mean, how else can you explain people showing up in sport coats and ties, only to spend the next 39 days (if they're lucky enough to survive) in their underwear. Who does that! Well, apparently many Survivor contestants do.

That being said, as the episode progressed to the inevitable Tribal Council, I couldn't help but pick out many similarities between the two journeys.

Stranded on a remote island? Check! We're basically stranded, sometimes feeling all alone, on RV/GCR Island. Our family and friends long ago having declared us clinically insane and from there forward choosing to keep their distance, straight-jacket at the ready.

Crazy weather? Check! The mood-altering, hopium induced "weather" on RV/GCR Island changing just as quickly as the next piece of intel hits all the "boards" and websites throughout Dinarland.

Left with only the clothes on our back? Check! Sure, we all have a closet full of clothes but chances are, we're all still wearing the same clothes we were wearing when we purchased our first batch of currency.

Yes, some of us still have our "Cash Out" bags sitting by the front door, ready to go at a moments notice. After all we've gotta be ready to make it to the Bank Bus as quickly as possible once we receive our notification that it's finally time to bum-rush the Banks and demand the Contract Rates. But honestly, after sitting next to the front door all these years, chances are those clothes are super crusty and wrinkled beyond repair.

In serious need of a shower, shave and a haircut? Check! Yeah, we take the random shower when necessary but we simply can't afford to be away from the computer for too long, otherwise we risk missing the "announcement" that the USD has now "officially" become the USN and it's time to start scowering our Inbox's for an email.

And FYI, I've made the mistake on more than one occasion of bringing my phone with me into the shower and trust me on this one, they're not as waterproof as one might think.

Extremely limited food supply? Check! Unfortunately for many of us our "Menu's" are severly limited. Be it because of a low money supply or simply not having any desire for a large meal, whatever the case may be we've long ago given up eating healthy for just enough to get by on for now.

Surrounded by people we don't really know? Check! By now most of our family and friends have made it known they think we've pretty much lost it, choosing to keep their distance in case whatever it is we have just might be contagious. Yes, we've basically gravitated to our chosen "Tribes" as it were. Those believing it's a global thing, those still thinking it's all about Iraq and those that couldn't care less who or what is responsible for us still waiting, they just wanna cash out!

Not quite sure who our friends are... and aren't? Check! At this point our only "friends" are people we've never actually met in real life, only online. Similar to Tom Hanks in "Cast Away", for all we know we're conversing with volleyball's posting as if they're real people. All we do know is that they're currency holders just like we are, all headed in the same direction, with the exact same goal in mind. To exchange our currency.

Limited contact with the outside world? Check! Pretty much the only contact we have with the outside world is what we read on the boards or hear on the various conference calls. That's pretty much the extent of our "outside the box" thinking. As far as "limited" goes, we've been hearing basically the same rumtel for so many years now that what we are hearing is limited at best.

Not sure who we can or can't trust? Check! All of the people that tend to share their opinions, passing along intel from their "sources", all of which has to be taken with a huge dose of sea salt. The misdisinfo is rampant, especially this late in the game. Very little, if any, has ever proven itself to be true. Not to say that it wasn't true at the time it was posted but there's not much of a chance of proving it, one way or another.

Faced with weekly Challenges? Check! As every week passes, timelines passing by, more and more "windows" being slammed shut, we face a new challenge. The challenge of continuing to hang in there, to see this through, to make it to the finish line, currency held high in victory.

Those are just a few of the similarities that immediately come to mind. I'm sure if I thought more about it, there would be quite a few more "links" between the two games. To be honest, that's more than enough.

The one thing they have going for them that we don't is they have a Back Wall. Thirty nine days and they're done. A point that, no matter what, they will know they've reached their finish line. And whatever the results are they'll be able to shower, shave, grab a burger and get back to life.

Us Dinarians? Nope, we don't have that luxury. We don't have that working in our favor. But when you really sit back and think about it, that puts us a Tier or two above them. On an entirely different level. That's proof that we really are the true Survivor's, the one's that will win in the end.

They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Well, if by doing the same thing, they're referring to giving it all I've got, day in and day out, doing my best to make sure I'm there at the finish line. Whenever that may come. Then that's fine. Feel free to call me insane. I'll wear that badge with honor.

Hang in there friends. Every day we survive puts us one day closer to the finish line.

All my best,

Dr. Dinar

The barman asked Fred "Whats wrong, why are you so down today?".

Fred said "My wife and i got into a fight, and she said she won't talk to me for 3 months".

The barman said "So whats wrong with that"?

Fred "Well the 3 months is up today".

Mot:  A nun, badly needing to use the restroom, walked into a local Irish Pub.

The place was hopping with music and loud conversation and every once in a while “the lights would turn off.”

Each time the lights would go out, the place would erupt into cheers.

However, when the revelers saw the nun, the room went dead silent.

She walked up to the bartender, and asked, “May I please use the restroom?”

The bartender replied, “OK, but I should warn you that there is a statue of a naked man in there wearing only a fig leaf.”

“Well, in that case, I’ll just look the other way,” said the nun.

So the bartender showed the nun to the back of the restaurant.

After a few minutes, she came back out, and the whole place stopped just long enough to give the nun a loud round of applause.

She went to the bartender and said, “Sir, I don’t understand. Why did they applaud for me just because I went to the restroom?”

“Well, now they know you’re one of us,” said the bartender. “Would you like a drink?”

“No thank you, but, I still don’t understand,” said the puzzled nun.

“You see,” laughed the bartender, “every time someone lifts the fig leaf on that statue, the lights go out.”

Mot:  Bob walked into a sports bar around 9:58pm , sat down next to a blonde" at the bar and stared up at the TV.

The 10pm news came on covering the story of a man on the ledge of a large building preparing to jump.

Bob said, “You know, I bet he’ll jump.”

The blonde replied, “Well, I bet he won’t.”

Bob placed a $20 bill on the bar and said, “You’re on!”

Just as the blonde placed her money on the bar, the guy on the ledge did a swan dive off the building, falling to his death.

The blonde was very upset but handed her $20 to Bob, saying, “Fair’s fair. Here’s your money.”

Bob replied, “I can’t take your money. I saw this earlier on the 5pm news so I knew he’d jump.”

The blonde replied, “I did too, but didn’t think he’d do it again.”

Bob took the money.:)

"We're All In This Together" by Dr. Dinar

Thank you Dr. Dinar

We're All In This Together by Dr. Dinar

Okay, so where are we now.

Where exactly do we stand in this seemingly never ending journey to the GCR.

Honestly, I have absolutely no idea.

And as far as I can tell, nobody else really knows either.

Yes, they continually give their best guesses but time and time again, these guesstimations are anything but correct.

Not to fault them.

After all, they're doing the best they can with what they have to work with.

Having said that, and as much as I'd love to know how close to the finish line we truly are, it makes complete sense that nobody knows the date.

Nor the rate.

For some reason that still doesn't prevent me from wanting just an inkling of info in regards to where we are on the Checklist To Completion.

If such a thing exists. Which I highly doubt it does.

Sure, they have things that need to get be accomplished.

But it always seems as if while they're working on one thing, two other must completes pop up in the meantime.

So with the one forward, two back routine always seemingly in play, how are we ever supposed to reach a conclusion.

All we can do is continue to hope that eventually circumstances will dictate that things must make a change, otherwise everybody loses.

And if you're anything like me, that script-flip can't come a minute too soon.

I recently had cause to reflect on a time when things were so much simpler.

A time when all we were dealing with was the RV of the IQD.

It was a two day trip, two weeks at the most.

We'd done the research, endlessly scowered the map, we couldn't have been better prepared.

All of our gear in order, everything laid out in front of us, To Go bag by the door.

What could possibly go wrong.

Well, as it turns out, quite a few things could go wrong. And did.

First of which was getting banned from one of the very few (at the time) reliable RV sites.

For the second time no less.

Why was I banned?

Well, silly me.

Who knew you weren't allowed to speak your mind.

To give your opinion.

To question authority.

After all, it was an open Forum format, was it not.

Apparently, contrary to popular belief, it was not.

So, after experiencing my second banishment, I determined that if I was to remain connected to the going's on in Dinarland, it was I and not them that was going to have to make a few changes.

With that in mind, I decided it was best to take on an entirely new persona, as well as a new demeanor, if I had any hopes at all of staying connected.

And staying connected, for me, was Job #1.

Armed with a new identity, as well as a new email address, I gave it the ol' college try.

Fortunately for me, the third time was the charm.

I was, as they say, in like Flynn. Whomever Flynn is.

Back in the know.

Back in with the in crowd as it were.

Up close and personal with all the best intel.

Or so I was led to believe anyway.

And you better believe I wasn't going to question it.

Nope, not this time.

I quietly sat in the back of the room, training myself to become a great listener.

As time rolled on I did become just a bit more vocal, connecting with those I resonated with, but I also paid more attention to keeping my questions, as well as my opinions, under wraps.

I will add that at the time I was also connected to a couple other private situations which afforded me an even better glimpse into the supposed behind the scenes happenings .

Keeping in mind that this was a decade or so ago and as it turns out we really hadn't a clue as to what was going on.

Not as far as the GCR was concerned anyway.

The GCR was never really spoken of, and if it was, it was only in the context of something else that was in the works but it in no way would have any affect on the RV.

What I will say though is the history lessons I received while attending those other classes was and is something I'll always be grateful for.

They served as the concrete that created my unwavering foundation, solid in the knowing that this entire GCR thing really is real.

Knowing the initial reasoning behind the RV itself, who some of the major players were, and why they were there really helps to make sense of so much of what we see today, all these years later.

Although most of the folks I've connected with throughout the years have chosen their own ways of making it through to the finish line, at the end of the day we're all heading in the same direction.

Not necessarily in the same boat, but most definitely on the same river.

I'm willing to bet that nobody that has been involved in this endeavor over 5 years ever thought things would go this way.

That it would take this long.

With so many crazy twists and turns.

That so many last broke Friday's would fall by the wayside, leaving us with far too many still broke Monday's.

Yet, here we are and it is what it is.

Nothing we can do about all the time that has passed other than cherish the Economics education we've received, as well as the like-minded friends we've made along the way.

At this point in the game, from here on out we're all paddling down the same river, heading for the same destination.

All of us looking forward to the day we can reach the shore, exchange our paddles for Porsche's (or whatever flavor of fun you desire), and move on to the life of our dreams.

Until then, please continue to do your best to hang in there.

And whatever you do... KEEP ON PADDLIN'!

Remember, we're all in this together.

Kindly,

Dr. Dinar

"Bits and Pieces" Posted by Mot at TNT

Mot: Did you know that there are many herbs that just naturally repel flies?

1. Basil

Anyone that knows anything about herbs knows that basil is great for cooking. It’s easy to grow and smells heavenly! Humans love Basil. But guess who hates, Basil? House flies. House flies are absolutely repelled by Basil. The best way to use this all natural remedy is to plant Basil by you external doorways. If you have a large outdoor picnic area, try using small planters of Basil on your picnic tables. You are serving two purposes at once. While grilling out you can easily access your Basil for cooking, and the flies will stay far away during your lovely, summer meal.

2. Bay Leaves

This is another herb loved by cooks worldwide. Nothing puts the finishing touch on a big pot roast like a few bay leaves thrown in. But once again, as much as we love it, flies hate it. Other insects hate it as well like earwigs and weevils, to name a few. Keep these herbs growing nearby to discourage pesky pests.

3. Lavender

Lavender is the ultimate herb for relaxation. The calming, soothing smell can really make a bubble bath a true spa experience. People have been using lavender for centuries to make their homes and clothing smell sweet. It is also used in quite a bit of cooking as well. Flies aren’t impressed with lavender, though. Hang some dried lavender decoratively around your home to keep away those buzzing buggers!

4. Tansy

Tansy is not as well-known as some of the other herbs we’ve listed here. Tansy was used in ancient times as a strewing herb because it was believed to have cleansing properties. Tansy is a nice foundation plant for household landscaping as it looks very similar to marigolds. Tansy has the added benefit that it repels flies, though. Flies are not the only pests that find Tansy repellant. Ants, fleas and moths will also stay clear if this plant is around. An extra bonus is that this plant will even discourage mice from hanging around.

5. Pennyroyal

This may be one of the most versatile of herbs. This member of the mint family repels flies, mosquitoes and fleas. However, when planted on your property, and specifically around the foundation of your home, this interesting herb can help ward off mice and ants as well! Instead of killing two birds with one stone you’ll be repelling five pests with one herb! You should use caution if you choose to plant this herb around your home, however. Pennyroyal can be dangerous for children and pets in large amounts if it is consumed. Please keep this in mind when using pennyroyal.
