Of course, we also did a lot to hasten the collapse of their empire.

The Brits and the French really screwed up the middle East when they broke up the Ottoman Empire. The Brits were in decline before WW1.

Alive and well here in the sunny south... tossed plastic at 96 holes yesterday. That took about 8 hours when you incorporate the 6 miles walked to make it happen...

(Wish Jar was here so I could make a couple dollars off of him.)

Uh no, you're talking about treasury backed securities, and you misunderstand what I'm talking about as far as world reserve currency.

As long as it's just your name! Otherwise we'll have to ask the price of a Bettyz BJ!

Spoiler arrived this morning! Definately got this at a steal of a price. It's in pristine condition. Now to figure out what to do with a few thousand packing peanuts...

I just got a really nice thank you card from the staff here regarding the care packages... Rent is a few days away. Round 2 coming up. A reminder to myself how truely blessed I am, and saddens me to think they are struggling through no fault of their own.
If any of you are in the position to help your fellow neighbors who are struggling, please do so!
