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 !

Holy Toledo!! That sounds like a way more amount of time than I've already spent on this stupid thing!! I sure as heck don't consider myself anywhere close to being advanced on computers - closer to lower intermediate level.

Was going to ask you to come up and solve my problems but Florida is way to far for that! Smilie

Know anyone in Southcentral Alaska that you would trust to help me?
If there is someone that you trust to work on your computer you could:
Go to www.logmein.com (I know, it looks like weird Chinese food, but it's log me in...hehe).
Create a free account and 'add your computer'.
Then, give the person you trust to work on your computer, your log me in credentials so they can log in to your account.
They will also need your computer password. (I would change this on your computer before you give it to them, so they won't have your usual password, and you can change it back to your normal one when they are done)
They will then be able to work on your computer as if they were sitting in front of it.
They will need you there to insert any disks, start computer after shut-down or whatnot.
You will be able to sit and watch everything they do.
I fix my Mom's, Brother's, Dad's computers this way all the time.
When they are done, you simply un-install the logmein software and they can never get on your computer again.

Hey...where's the armadillo??? LMAO
You're welcome! I posted last week's Deal News sweeps (Netflix) and waited most of the day for it to change over to this week's prize.
Finally they put it up & I posted it, then brought it over here for my OWTW friends. Big Grin
Big Grin when I post from my iPod Touch I can't attach jpegs and stuff Big Grin
I did drop off a sick armadillo gif with you a couple of days ago...
Come to think of it, I think I posted it on one of your contests replies because I can't find that post on the funny farm.
Later when I get back to my desktop I repost it for you to look at. Wink

Yeah, I saw the poor little guy! Stretcher
I've gotten used to seeing some sort of armadillo when you reply to one of my posts...so when your last reply didn't have one I thought "Hey....where's the armadillo?".
Ive come to recognize you more by the armadillos & waving Texas flag that your user name. Bye

Oh, and I just saw your post about the rotating armadillo...it will rotate, just have to click on it. Can't Insert image on the contest forum like we can in the FF, just Attach which doesn't show animations until pic is clicked on.

You can go to the C Walken/Cowbell/Blue Oyster Cult page and play the song "Don't Fear the Reaper." If you click on the Will Ferrell picture, you can play the cowbell along with the song! Rofl2

I sent that link and message to my daughter and she wrote back that she was so happy that I had something to do now that the Marlboro contest was over.shake head

His own team mates are riding him the hardest!! Saying if he was really hurt why was he up and walking around on the sidelines! Theyre saying really nasty stuff about him and demanding testing!! Those are some big boys to pi$$ off! especially over the Super Bowl!!
I don't think it is his teammates who are doing the trash talking. It is more like others in the NFL, and the media hyping it. He has never been that cooperative with the media. He doesn't like all that schmoozing with the media and comes off as surly. MRI showed he had a torn ligament over his knee. Who knows what really happened.

I like "cute" quarterbacks, and I never found him "cute!"

WTF. They picked a winner "yesterday". The form wasn't correct until today.

So I guess next time it has bogus dates, I'd better fill it out anyways.

Wow....that's lame! Last time I checked the winner's list 1/21/11 was the most recent date.
I checked both sites on & off all day yesterday, and didn't bother to enter either with the bogus dates.
