Come to think of it, let us never take for granted the tremendous efforts of all our hostesses and hosts to keep America alive and focused, thinking productively, and enjoying life and one another along the way....

Good morning Lady and thanks! None of this would be possible without the special posters such as yourself who faithfully seek out the valuable information that is shared here every day. We're all just another link in a chain to support the Finest Country in the world!

May God Bless America.

Good morning, Aquamarine!

Lest we lose sight of our effectiveness, in the midst of all the disparaging words by liberals, read this:

Iraqi Reconstruction Facts

Iraq's New Currency

Iraq's new currency is an important indicator of economic revitalization. During the Iraqi currency exchange, which began on October 15, 2003, and ended on January 15, the value of the new dinar has risen by 25 percent. To date almost 4.5 trillion new Iraqi dinars or $3 billion are estimated to be in circulation.

Cell Phone Service Comes to Iraq

Improvements in telephone service are helping Iraq reintegrate into the international community and paving the way for the new economy. Today, mobile telephones are available in Iraq for the first time, and by April 2004, there could be more than half-million Iraqi cell phone subscribers. New technology is also making it possible for Iraq to establish its first emergency call network. (Coalition Provisional Authority, Baghdad)

Education in Iraq

Renewing Iraq's educational system is vital because Iraqi youth will determine their country's future. All universities are open, 5.1 million Iraqi primary school students are back in the classroom, and more than 51 million new textbooks - without propaganda - are being distributed. Plus, Iraqi teachers now earn up to 25 times their salaries before liberation.

Afternoon!

Amen to what you said, Aqua. Thank you for all your awesome contributions, Maggie! You carry a pretty heavy load around here for such a wee li'l woman. Must be the Marine in you - you don't KNOW you're not 6 feet tall, 200 pounds!

Missed you yesterday, Dansy, in our Yahoo Conference learning session. Thank you, Aqua, Dutchess, and Lori, for your help in answering Colleen's questions, but dang it! Dutchess, your behind must be sore from that door hitting you so many times! :) Love you, Sistahs!
