I still need to buy about 10 paper bonds for the kids I wasn't able to buy for due to the 12/31/11 cut-off date.

Haven't given up yet...

Was looking up Dylan Ratigan to see where he was going and this link was brought up:

http://www.democratichub.com/

And if you look around you'll see a "fadedrose" post about bonds...my post is in the "Age, Family and Social Class" forum; why I put it there I don't know. It was the first time that I was ever on the site and didn't know where to put it.

I'm always faithful to DU tho, mostly because I'm a bookreader and check "Fiction" every day. I just plain love DU, period...

It's an interesting site, this Democratic Hub..
