Ok, so I have a question of great importance that needs to be resolved: Am I correct in asserting that the capital city of the Netherlands is technically Amsterdam even though virtually all government buildings are located The Hague? Hartelijk bedankt!

If you have a minute, could you please say a prayer for Eva, who's been throwing up this evening? It would be bad under normal circumstances, but we're leaving for Belgium in the morning on a plane flight that already promises to be eventful due to the inclusion of a 14 month old. :crossrc:

So, somebody from the United Nations Debt Reconciliation Department in Accra, Ghana emailed me today saying that the United Nations Committee on Foreign Payment has authorized them to pay me $10,500,000 in regard to my contract entitlement and/or inheritance fund (which I had no idea that the UN...

EDIT: Updated in post #23! If any of y'all could spare a moment -- I'm feeling a bit down lately and could use a few prayers. I'm especially not doing so hot on the hope vs. despair dimension. All prayers are much appreciated. :)

Hi all :wave: I've been playing around with Skype a bit lately, and I've been curious if anyone on here uses it. If you want to know my Skype name, PM me!
