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 !

One thing I didnt understand is just last week I got an email telling me that points had been added to my account and to call if I wanted to change my order... How is that possible when I already got the camera?
I think they themselves can't figure it out... I got points added, but never got the email to change prizes.. it may be because I waited until after I got the extra 50, ended up with 1600 even, and got the netbook, and didnt have extra points to do anything with.... but others have said they had the same situation as me, but they received the email asking if they wanted to change prizes.

I was hoping that since I didn't get the email, and chose the highest prize, that they would send it out b/c obviously I didnt want to change to a lower prize.. but alas, still no netbook! lol

did they add extra points on to your account after the 16th? If so, you prob just got it b/c that is their standard email, and if you have less than 75, people were saying that if you already ordered, and had remaining points from them adding extra, that it wasn't allowing them to order the "special gift"...

My guess is that Marlboro created so much confusion at the end of the contest that now they're just as confused as the rest of us.

yes, my husband and I both quit, been smoking for about 35 years also. Can't afford them any more. When I started packs were only .75 cents now a whoppin 5.50 here and they are fire safety too. Oh did I mention none of my husbands friends can buy theirs so they would come here and smoke mine, so I had to quit, just not in the budget any more.
Good for you hope you are sucessful, I now have dum dum smokes, a bag of dum dums suckers only cost 2.00 and there are lots of extra's to share. You can have a dum dum with your kids, friends or with that cup of coffee. On fifth day, third day was a little hard, just stay busy. Happy New Year and much sucess in your quiting. Smilie

Lol, I love it! Yes, I have become a fan of the dum dums, and a large part of the reason I'm quitting is because of the cost and because I seem to be financing everybody elses cigarettes too, and I need to take care of myself (no health insurance). Thanks for the encouragement! Happy New Year!

Thanks for the link. The contest is sponsored by one of my favorite ski resorts, Copper Mountain.....that's where I learned to ski.

Try to stay warm up there in frozen Washington. Attachment 469903
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

ColdI learned to ski at Loveland, as a teenager, before the Eisenhower Tunnel was blasted through those mountains. When people no longer had to drive over Loveland Pass in the winter, that entire area was developed and changed. Remarkable skiing for sure...the best there is.

SmilieIt's warming up nowRainIt's been bitter cold this new year so far.

Well, its kinda different. I had only really wanted to camera, so when I had enough points I submitted for it. Then on the last day I submitted for random things using the last of my points. Then the next day 50 points were added and I couldnt use them because I had already taken stuff including the bonus gift.

I am not upset by any means since I did get what I wanted but... I would have been if I submitted for prizes the last day thinking I was only 50 away from the netbook, then the next day was awarded those 50 points... Uh, guess maybe now I see what they were saying lol but I was going for the camera from day one, so its all good.

I still cant believe coupons havent even come yet, think that would have been the first to go out

They are prob still so confused, you could probably call and try to switch to the netbook and get that too! lol...wouldn't be honest, but .... would be funny if it worked..and I am not by any means recommending it, I would never do anything like that.

lol not a bad idea, and what would be bad is if I got it before the others that submitted for it back in December... And before I ruffle any feathers, I am not going too. I have plenty of computers as it is, I dont need another Smilie

ColdDuring the cold weather the anchor on the news advised people to knock on the hood of their cars and trucks before re-starting them, in case a cat was staying warm in the engine compartment. I thought it was a good idea, and said so, since we have four semi-wild kitten-cats. Well, the next morning one of them went missing a tail.Ohmybobcat

MM found the tail laterMessed Up

By the way, what part of Colorado are you from? My in-laws are in the Arvada, Westminster and surrounding areas. Was just there in June for their reunion. Fortunately it wasn't too hot - some cloud coverage helped me out bunches!!

I've steered clear of Facebook, and all the other social networking sites...until I found SD. There are so many great freebies & contests that are only available if you have a Facebook account. I finally signed up for one yesterday....didn't put in a photo, no personal info, no friends (on Facebook anyway!)....just a generic account that I can use to access on the deals I find on SD for FB users.

OMG! I guess they're serious when they say not to park on a snow plow route!

I've been wary as well...mostly because it could become quite complex and involved. I did the same as you, so I could enter contests and get coupons. Generic profile not a lot of informationNinja
