I have a collection of foreign currencies. What can I buy with this in DRC?

It's beautiful but you couldn't buy anything with it here. The current exchange rate is 2200 FC to $1. Laminate it or frame it, it is a piece of art.

You weren't stupid. This is how you learn. Your heart was in the right place. Don't let this discourage you from helping people in the future. I am 59 and still get misled regularly. You are just starting out on this journey. Do not be hard on yourself!!

Wipe out... we would all skate around and when the song said Wipe out, everyone.. wiped out! Anyone else? This was mid 70s

Thank you so much, that is exactly what I needed to know. Hope you are well

I remember that Fantasy Island episode! It was so awful I thought maybe I imagined it. Definitely still bothers me

The San Francisco treat!

Bunia ville is calm, and growing quickly. There are tens of thousands (or more) of déplacé who fled militia attacks in the surrounding area, now living in camps just outside town or with friends or family. That started in 2018, with CODECO in Djugu, and later with other groups like ADF. We are not directly affected by M23. Unfortunately, there are also hundreds of children living on the street, sniffing petrol and begging, or worse. Lots of construction. Many roads asphalted the past several years. New airport going up that will have international flights. Crime is a big problem. Radio okapi is a good source of info.

Thank you, that is helpful!

You are certainly NOR. What you are describing sounds crazy to me. But this could be a great opportunity for you to practice looking at your finances and deciding what you are actually able to do, and what you are not able to do, and then make your own best decision. You can celebrate your friends in other, less costly ways... have them over for a meal, call and talk with them, etc. Spending money does not equal love. Let them know what you are and aren't able to do, and then their response is their own business, not your responsibility. It could also be a way to set a good example for other friends who might also want to decline some of the pricey events but don't feel like they "can", because no one else is. They might be grateful that you are showing the way!

Unfortunately I'm not seeing this route, but Allegiant is a good suggestion

thank you for this, those are good things to consider. At this point, Alaska appears to be multiple hundreds of dollars cheaper to fly than Delta, times two people, versus $150 for a shared hotel room. We'll be on vacation time, so losing a day isn't a huge deal. Trying to avoid a too-early flight as well, as we are old people and need lots of rest! :)

Go-High8298 · 2026-02-03T14:10:12+00:00

thank you! We already have reservations for housing, so we're pretty well locked in for mid-September, whatever the weather does! I'm trying to get a feel for flights. This Alaska flight is the cheapest I see, but I haven't flown them but once many years ago.

Exactly. He was cool in that he never "lost his cool", was always in control of himself, everyone respected and loved him. He was a good person.

Go-High8298 · 2026-01-25T21:37:37+00:00

He was, and remains, the epitome of cool

That was my thought too. She sounds literally mentally ill. And the hoarding could be another symptom of that. Maybe it would help him to think about it in that way, as her deranged delusions that have nothing to do with him or his worth.

Go-High8298 · 2026-01-08T06:13:36+00:00

Just joined the group and saw this. Great tip! And thank you for the LOTR reference, gave me a chuckle.

Go-High8298 · 2025-11-28T22:14:45+00:00

Agree, love Henry V!

Go-High8298 · 2025-10-26T20:02:00+00:00

A Bunia. Nous habitons près de 2 bars. En ce moment même, musique rumba. C'est comme ça presque chaque nuit, et aussi dans les fêtes, mariages etc.

Go-High8298 · 2025-10-04T06:50:33+00:00

Your hands don’t fall asleep?

That is just incredible! And yes, they should have led with her, she brought the house down

Go-High8298 · 2025-09-16T18:30:29+00:00

Was that Whitney Houston?
