Yeah...kinda-sorta.Business is practically at a standstill right now. And We haven't been able to find ANY govt. agencies that help with "loss of income due to act of nature" unless you have serious property damage.Which we don't.And if we did, we don't own the property. Just the business.This might be the end of our family business.

Like I told Kiri, thanks, but I'm gonna hold as long as I can to see if I/we can sort it out ourselves.I'm one of those stubborn folks that hates askin' for help from anyone.

I believe that most of their ambassadors left the hall before Trump could speak.

The US government (and China, 50% each) financed the Khmer Rouge for 21 years after the Vietnamese Army attacked Cambodia and invaded in 1979. We gave them food, weapons, money and military intelligence. All we asked for in return was to have Pol Pot drive the Viets out. Every US President from Carter to Clinton was Pol Pot's BFF.

It only ended because the KR officially disbanded in 2000.

This was after the "Killing Fields" genocide, which, although we didn't finance it directly, we were directly responsible for.

I've never actually seen her eyes, just soulless black slits. Do they slather her with SPF1000 to keep her from bursting into flames in the daylight?

We were there four or five years ago. I remember we ate at an all you can eat seafood in Istanbul. It closed at 10. Somewhere around 9:40, when the staff is ready for everybody to go, the cats descended on the place. I was impressed they had the cat population trained so well.

I was thinking of the swimming cats, but glad to hear that the cat natives have their own charm as well.

Aren't Great Britain, France and Russia part of the Iran nuclear deal?

Sadly, if Hillary were in the White House now, we'd still have a fucking circus because we'd still have a Republican Congress. It's just that she wouldn't be the ringmaster.
