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 just got my pint glasses with the brand -- they look pretty nice! Still waiting on my camera and my parents' netbooks, but it is nice to get something from OWTW.

Wow, the Living Social thread grows faster than the original OWTW thread on a new clue night ;-)

Sure hope it goes through, I can get an official MS HD for my 360S dirt cheap.

Yeah, yet another random-time contest. I run that one, do 3 or 4 others, go back and click Next Move, and repeat until I lose at it ;-)

It depends on how far your system is from your wireless router. If not that far, the nano receivers that go on sale at Meritline all the time will work fine - I used one on an ancient laptop so I could use encryption level not available on that one.

The advantage of the nano-sized receivers is that they're so small that the only way the cat could run into it would be by slamming full tilt into the computer.

See the Airlink101 here, for example [meritline.com].

Oh, dang, forgot the easier fix - surround the current one with bricks ;-)

I got them at my house addressed to the previous tenant (I'm a renter). I have lived here over a year, so I know it's been longer than that since he has lived here. And, if he played OWTW, I'm sure he would have updated his address to get his prizes! So, the coasters have to be a random mailing.

That I understand, but will that thing work for me?
Are you using a laptop or desktop? I generally hate USB wireless cards -- they never seem to work 100%. For around $20-$25, you should be able to get either a PCI card for your desktop or a PCMCIA card for your laptop. The desktop one involves opening up your PC case, but it incredibly easy and a 5 minute installation. PCMCIA cards plug into the weird little square slot on the side of your laptop, and are just plug and play usually.

This is on the desktop. My roomie had this on here for me, so if my cat ruins it, I need to replace it! No big deel. Two of us, and have 9 computers in here! But only 3 are mine! Just don't want him to bitch anymore, even though the cat has become more his than mine! Just taking preventative measures!

Thats so funny!! LMAOLMAOLMAO Its like my house!

I just got off the phone with the Trading post. Theyve been sending my the free packs of flavored cigars. Theye more like cigarettes but I told her I had some friends who had asked me how I got them and she told me to have them call her. They have a really good deal on buy 1 get 1 free and a lot of flavors. Theyve given me 6 packs for free and now shes sending me a packs of chocolate and a pack of rum flavored cigars. She told me to have my friends call and get some free samples and she wouldnt pressure them into buying. She said if I refer someone and they buy from them and say I refered them I would get a free carton!!! I really dont want the carton but I thought some of you would like the free cigars.
Her number is 866-232-6463 ask for Melissa
