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 really don't think it matters. I ordered the second the week 10 points posted. I live in Indiana and my last name starts with G. I wonder if the order got all scrambled when the extra points were added?
I think so because one sister and I ordered the second the points updated for week 10 and have heard nothing. Other sister and boyfriend ordered a few days later after added points posted and they got theirs yesterday.

Quote from neel2004 :
There are also several nonprofits whose sole goal is to prevent homelessness in veterans and their families. A lot of these are in decent-sized cities, but one of them may help you get back on your feet.

Other resources you may try to consider are food banks -- there are several across the country that let you "shop" with your food stamp money, and you can get several times more than what you would be able to at a grocery store.

Check out angel food ministries and see if they have any sites near you. They sell good quality, frozen, fresh, and packaged food bundles aimed at feeding a family of 4 for a week for very little money. They are also no-questions asked as far as eligibility goes. My roommates and I in college would use them for the months in which we needed a little extra to get by.

Thanks for the info!!!

my belief is that Marlboro sent out tons of the UPS items at one time
but because they use UPS ground the people closest to the fulfillment center will get their gear first
just a guess but i know it takes 3 days for ground to go cross country

also guessing that Marlboro dropped the ball on shipping e-mails which is why some people are getting their gear before notification of shipping

all speculation of course

just curious but i have posted well over 50 times but it stays at 6 any thoughts on that?
Post counts in the Funny Farm (Lounge forum) don't count. Can't rep here either.

both my sister and I ordered right after week 10 points updated. We got the email to call by 1/11 and both of us did.
my other sister and her boyfriend didn't order for a few days after we did and they didn't call in response to the 1/11 and they got theirs yesterday. we haven't heard anything.

Your Leatherman(R) Keychain Multi-Tool Has ShippedThursday, January 27, 2011 4:52 PMFrom: This sender is DomainKeys verified"Marlboro Outwit the West"

My girlfriend received this e-mail. She ordered the bike dec17th and beef jerky. Did not order leatherman. I saw posts saying customer service reps said that this was gift for people who ordered bikes and getting them late.(seems that cs reps say whatever to whoever Smilie ) I ordered netbook on Dec 16th as soon as points came out and have not heard anything.
Can we confirm that so far net books have only shipped East of Mississippi? Congrats to those who have received their gear, although I admit I am envious.

To Insurgent Hunter: Thanks for your service and be careful out there.
I live in Alabama & ordered netbook on dec 16th. I haven't heard anything.

I never called to verify because it said to call if you wanted to change your order and I didn't. Maybe that's whats going on.
Im thinking that those who had enough points to order NB with the first final points will get theirs last. I ordered at midnight when week 10 points were shown. I didnt get the points email until 12/27, but called to confirm that day thinking they wouldnt wait until 1/11 to ship. No ship notice, no NB. Last names in household begin with C and Y.
