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 !

reload is the blue circular arrows on the top left, also hit favs and save thiis site to favs. when was last time you cleaned history, cookies etc on firefox? other thing you might try is uninstalling firfox and reinstalling program.
I just did all my scanning and cleaning yesterday. I am afraid to uninstall Firefox, since I am afraid of losing things I have set up on there, such as my easy Toolbar Bookmarks. Until I figure out how to manage IE I can keep Firefox for emergency access. I did just use Favorites to mark SD Funny Farm, so know where that is now! Thanks for your help. I immediately did find the blue arrows with Refresh F5 and all is well.

I'm not sure this will help you, but I use it to sync my bookmarks across multiple computers. It was very useful for me when I had to reinstall Windows 7. It allowed me to get my bookmarks back with no real work. Basically a copy of your bookmarks are stored offsite on their servers. Probably not so good for privacy, but if you have nothing to hide then who cares. IMO.

I just got here by clicking on my old bookmark in favorites. However, I hadn't logged out from the last time I was here.

quick question:

the canon camera were getting from marlboro (sx120 or maybe sx130)..... will a 16GB SDHC class 4 card work with it? i see it can use SDHC cards... but some people say some devices can only support 8-10GB. any ideas?

and thanks for any input! Stick Out Tongue

I've had no issues with finding this thread. If fact, if I click on the "Lounge" link on Kel-be's last post from the old thread, I go right to page 1 of this latest Funny Farm thread.

I'm not sure exactly what you did, but you need to download the plugin, install and register. And sync. Then you are backed up and can recover from the same or any computer for that matter.

I'm probably stating the obvious, but just want to make sure my advise doesn't kick anyone in the butt.

I don't mind seeing Slick Deal opportunities in our Marlboro chat thread that are not already shown on the site. I do object to see re-posting of opportunities that are already on the SD site and in some cases, like the Wall Mart Purina dog food offer, which was already discontinued. Whee

So if you have a real scoop for your fellow Marlboro friends, at least prior to posting it here, look and do a quick search of the SD site to see if it is already listed elsewhere.

We should all follow common forum courtesy. Use the PM when we want to make a non-Marlboro comment to a particular person. The flames we've seen even here which went back and forth between individuals should have all been done via PM. Most personal back -n- forth conversations should also be done via the PM system.


Well, enough rants from me. Lets hope Marlboro tweaks their system and begins shipping our won gear before Wednesday the 12th of Jan.

Do you have any idea how few people care about what you "don't mind" and do "object to" in this section? This is the Funny Farm. It's a Lounge. We can post what we want, as long as it isn't illegal. Please remember that and stop castigating us for not following your rituals. Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Ichijinrai,
The purina free sample is still valid. I would not have posted it unless I tried it out first. Big Grin
Quote from mlx3 :
First, let me say I very much respect your opinion and comments.

While I agree that the heated disagreements we've seen on this thread should have been taken care of through PMs, I don't see why the personal back-n-forth conversations should have to be done through PMs. This isn't the (now retired) OWTW main thread, it is the lounge, and designed for off-topic chat.

If we search the SD site for contests before posting, and we find it already listed here in another thread, should we link to that thread instead of the website hosting the contest?

And, I just checked, the Walmart Purina One dog food sample offer is still good.
After reading ichijinrai's post last night, I replied, much the same as others this morning. I do believe we got our point across....hopefully.
At least he didn't call us cluebies! Big Grin (geez, that was getting annoying...and giving CW nightmares! OMG)

The SX130 I received came with a 4GB SDHC. The manual states the following:

Compatible Memory Cards (sold separately):
SD memory cards (2GB and less)*
SDHC memory cards (more than 2 GB up to and including 32 GB)*
SDXC memory cards (more than 32 GB)*
MultiMedia Cards
MMCplus memory cards
HC MMCplus memory cards
*This memory card complies with the SD standards. Some cards may not operate properly depending on the brand of card used.

!!! Depending on your computer's OS version, SDXC memory cards may not be recognized when using a commercially available card reader. Check to make sure that your OS supports this function beforehand.

END OF MANUAL INFO.
Hopes this answers your question, Sgt.

Hi all, came here after other site was closed. Has anyone had trouble getting the boots from the last contest? I mailed my certificate in on 10/20/10 and they received 10/27. I called about 3 weeks ago and they said my boots would be shipped on 12/14. Never saw them. I called today and they said 8-15 more weeks before they ship. Dang, I hope the netbook doesn't take that long.
