Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

I think I jinx the family by going away and watching that darn HBO movie tonight. Please don't argue about the "Help put the 'e' in Green" Fan Challenge as the girls are doing great on the leader board with everyone voting. I would be extremely upset if the family starts battling again. Besides are we setting a good example for the girls by this fighting?? I suggest we not let winning the prizes tear us apart, but continue working on it as a family. Isn't this why we are here?

The girls aunts have yet to vote so they are relying on ya'll and this only works if we stick together. Boyd and Talonts, as are others, are welcomed to place their ideas into the contest as much as the girls. We all continue to vote and keep our fingers crossed!

Now, take a look at what our FF Family has accomplished - we have sweeped not one but two contests and all in good nature and it will end on May 13th.

On the good side the company read my message about how it was unconscionable to have only a few states could qualify and lifted it making all persons eligible to win the prizes and they even added a cloud stating "Everyone wins." That's a good thing.

It would have been better to have said that in your first post.

If you need a water bottle that bad, I have two I won from the Marlboro Snus contest you can have. I also have a number of shopping bags you can have too.
But there's at least one other FFer that's been in that contest for days - why does it matter at this point if more join? Katie has got to be the top pointer at this point, and will stay that way for sure (she probably has enough points to get everything they offer by now). Especially with everyone (including me) giving all of her entries 5 to keep them at the top.

Can't post links to voting contests here anymore. Just posted a link to a Facebook site that Syn found awhile back - it's for posting referrals, vote requests, and stuff like that. Hoping everyone will bookmark it and use it from now on, so our thread doesn't get shut down.

Hi all...the moon is full and beautiful on a clear, cold night in the Pacific Northwet!

I am trying to skim through some pages after a very busy night at work. I gather that Serra issued a warning, due to the many different voting contests going on. I feel lucky to have seen this new link, that re-directs people to a different site to handle all this. I will bookmark it, and hope someone will be able to let people know about this site tomorrow and later on. It was a really good idea...is SynGal the one to thank for this?

I didn't see the other person ask for votes...only you.

ENOUGH!!!

Arguing about this is petty and too many people are getting upset. I have already calmed several people down tonight and reassure them it is okay.

I am truly thankful the FFers are helping the girls, but it is not worth the fighting or allowing some one or two the ability to tear this family apart. If you want my opinion unless your prize is in jeopardy then its only a contest. Yes, it would be nice for the girls to keep the lead on the leader board, but it's really not worth this - we have a long way to go until May 13th.

So posting to the Wiki wasn't asking for votes?? None of us were asking for votes, then, so Serra was wrong?

Whatever. Sorry for asking.

I'll try to vote for your girls later today. I did once, but is it a daily thing? I pretty much avoided the Monterey recipe contest due to lack of time, but as I recall your girls (Scouts) are doing environmental suggestions for badges, and definately worth my time to assist them in their endeavor!

Sorry for asking. I thought we were all "family" here, guess I assumed wrong.

Yes, Syn found that Facebook page awhile ago and posted it here on the FF. I re-posted it tonight after the links in the wiki were deleted & the warning was issued. Katie already has the links to her girls' voting contest posted there.
