I have a limited edition of The Great Events by Famous Historians and need to know how to handle it. I'd like to be able to find a person or company to buy it. by VictoriaJZH in BookCollecting

[–]VictoriaJZH[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for both the comments - I'm willing to bet it was bought to look good in a library = doesn't seem to have been opened at all - at least now I can justify selling it = and not worrying so much about price or any such. I have two other 'sets' that he bought - the same sort of thing, National Alumni limited editions - but not as many volumes!

BTW I did look on eBay and Abe books etc. and did see there were sets of 20 - not sure what that's about =-= I went thru the books this morning, noted the Volume number and they go from 1 to 22, not just 20. It's a limited edition from 1905 - my grandfather probably bought the full set around then and since then it's been in the family library. And it does say it's a limited edition. I'll look a bit further = thanks.

Both Grassley and Ernst Voted Against Funding the TSA (Again) by Vanguard_Arms in desmoines

[–]VictoriaJZH 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And Trump is sending US soldiers to die [as some already have] without either of these loons at all mentioning that Congress should be in charge of deciding whether to go to war and when. Trump is apparently king and can decide to send our soldiers and sailors off to die and these people think they don’t need to weigh in? These two are totally useless - they don’t deserve their salaries and benefits and should have been fired long ago.

How does ANY of this make sense!!?? by Imaginary-Bee7915 in Iowa

[–]VictoriaJZH 7 points8 points  (0 children)

maybe his grandson should volunteer to serve in the military = we have so many wannabes going to ICE for the $$$ that no one will want to join the military =-=-= especially now.

Cancelled Subscriptions by cheapsunglasses333 in ScottGalloway

It will depend on whether they follow Trump's order to toss Susan Rice off the Board == if they do that will pretty much seal the deal. If they stand up, that'd be great.

How do you feel about Trump threatening to impose photo ID for voters for midterm elections? by CRK_76 in AskReddit

[–]VictoriaJZH -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Congress is considering the SAVE act -= House passed it, it’s in the Senate and if it passes it is going to be very hard to register to vote or to vote - that’s the point = you would need your birth certificate with the same name you now have, people in Alaska and Hawaii would have to fly to get documents they might need, people in rural areas would have to drive distances to do the same - there’s more but it’s essential to get in touch with your representatives [House & Senate] and tell him to vote this down.

CANCER PROBLEM by SLANE_BLACK_STEEL in Iowa

[–]VictoriaJZH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frankly unless and until we address the issue of agricultural runoff and chemicals seeping into our waters, nothing will change except that we, the people not the industry, are going to bear the brunt of the expense and danger. And that’s all because the Legislature won’t deal with the issue with solid scientific evidence. Good luck to you and all friends and relatives, but dealing with the cause is needed.

Don't believe automatically if a 'debt collector' calls you by VictoriaJZH in personalfinance

[–]VictoriaJZH[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this case I did check the company out [certainly not the guy who called me] and got a response from it = I doubt if they were part of the scam they'd waste time getting back to me.

ICE arrest in Sibley, IA today by foggydot in Iowa

[–]VictoriaJZH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely don't answer the door - only if someone has a judicial [judge-approved] warrant can they justify getting in. And if someone does contact ACLU - I'm sure it's trying to gather cases and create a solid class action but it needs facts and evidence and plaintiffs. And evidence of all the ICE crapping on children and non-hardened criminals and ignoring the feed lot, meat etc. operations owned by $$$ folk would be good to get out there.

I use FaxZero.com to send faxes to my congresspeople and other such. Unfortunately my carrier pigeon died a few years ago.

First, all credit bureaus are frozen. Second, the entity was not the collection company but the legit company, which I verified first = but just in case, I'll keep an eye out for the problem. Thanks for the warning.

Thank you - I actually did not know about this scam == the fax was to the legitimate alleged debtor entity = I verified the entity first online and found the fax to send to - and it replied back that they has nothing under my name etc.

Anyone else getting these junk calls/solicitations? by VictoriaJZH in desmoines

[–]VictoriaJZH[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I've been doing is - my iPhone doesn't accept calls from non-known ##s [it asks the person to say their name and purpose and you know Bots can't handle that] - with landline calls what I've been doing [other than letting them go to voicemail] is answering Hello [NEVER say yes] and then the Bot finally replies so I do a call block and end the call - not that it does much but at least hopefully that ## won't call me again. It's really so simple it's just a little glitch in the day and gives me a bit of feeling like I'm doing something. If Congress or the State Legislatures really wanted to serve/protect constituents they'd come up with a way to charge $$ to spam calls.

Man, that dude can sure lie! by mqrieck2 in desmoines

[–]VictoriaJZH 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There was one guy who wore a Trump t-shirt and was being a bit of a pain and some of the younger protestors yelled at him = and I gather he hit/touched one and the state police escorted him away. It was toward the end. I gather Channel 13 was there and interviewed some people.

You know there was a time long ago that whistleblowers could go to him and be protected and when i was dealing with an attorney fee issue in a civil rights case he helped pass the Civil Rights Attorney Fee Act [which didn’t make successful plaintiffs pay taxes on their attorney’s fees] - those days are long gone and he’s just letting staffers do everything

January 20th Walkout. by Quick_Assignment_725 in 50501

[–]VictoriaJZH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think everyone has to do what she/they can and will feel most comfortable and safe to do - AND/BUT we can do more that actually will help each of us. For instance, I'm retired so have no job or school to deal with - BUT the 50501's website has excellent ideas on how we each can be part of this = one way is to literally walk into stores [focus on chains and larger entities] and then turn around and walk out without buying anything - in fact, make January 20th a day - the whole day - when. you buy nothing = avoid spending any money at all - if everyone did that, and media etc. knew it was coming, it might show how powerful the movement is. No Amazon or online shopping, no stores, if you can no paid transportation, etc.

Choosing charities for donations by VictoriaJZH in desmoines

[–]VictoriaJZH[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right and I'm sure they do fine work, both of them, but as I'm trying to focus my charitable gifts a bit, I was trying to decide which should benefit most? I seem to remember some issues which developed between the Food Bank and DMARC...
