So Ive been reading for a few hours on this forum, and I am still clueless as to how to buy bitcoins.  I read about money grams which are not advised, sites like blockchain, bitfloor and bitinstant are all down.  I read about Dwolla, but isnt that down too?  I know there is also localbitcoins but no one is around or near me withing 50 miles.

So how can I buy bitcoins in the US?  I know this is prob a repost and I apologize for that.  I am just desperate now.
