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 !

Can I ask a favor of anyone who has already received their netbook, and is somewhat comfortable with computers? Can somebody physically look and see to double-check for me that the RAM in the netbook is DDR3 PC8500?

If it is indeed DDR3 as another poster said, Microcenter has 2 GB sticks on sale for $18 after rebate, but the rebate is only good till 1/30. I would like to buy it and not have to wait for another sale a few months down the line.

I can give you simple instructions on how to check the RAM, which would also tell you how to upgrade it. I should just involve turning off the computer, removing the battery, unscrewing the little RAM compartment door, and then pressing the little metal tabs to release the chip.

My son-in-law was on my owtw team, 3 of us ordered netbooks just minutes after final points.
He ordered the netbook the next day after bonus points.
Yesterday he received his, the rest of us have not.
He said he got N145 plus, and there was also en 8 gb SD card with it.

So I am guessing the ones who changed their orders are getting them first?? EEK! Oh man.. Raise of hands.. who changed their orders just here in slickdeals alone???

Guess it will be the full 12-16 weeks for me... Oh well, nice summer toy to play with! Smilie

One account called before Jan11, and just received e-mail Camera has shipped, 7-14 days. yeah!

One accound NEVER called to go over order, haven't heard a thing, yet.

No rhyme or reason, just hope everyone gets their prizes soon! Oh live in Oregon, not sure is that has anything to do with it either. Oh and ordered on the 19th of Dec.

Can't seem to win a darn thing on Halls, Toaster Strudels, or anything else for that matter, but it is nice to know that some one is winning these things, Congrats to all who won't go hungry or will be coughing. lol My Neighbor just won studels way to go!

Happy Saturday to all, and keep them freebies and sweepstakes coming. Yeah!

I'd sure be interested to know how many of each prize was won, wouldn't you? Anybody have any idea of how many people participated in the OWTW4 contest?

I'm looking at the amount of ear buds to be given in the SNUS Challenge, 325,000, and am thinking they intend for everyone to get this, allowing for the amount of newbies there will be. Next biggest chance of a prize is the ones that go to 15,000. That's quite a range -- 15,00 to 325,000. What do you think?

If there is truly 325,000 entries then the prizes drop to 15,000 that would average out to 1 in 21 get a prize.
And if there are 200 trips to the ranch, The odds on winning one of them are 1625 to 1. Of course these are my own very rough estimates. And it don't matter cuz I'm playing it anyway just for the fun of it

From the information that I've gathered, it seems like this netbook was intended for overseas.

Quote from Gilcher :
When my cat catches a squirrel (and I'm not able to save it's life), there are no remnants! He eats the tail and everything when it comes to squirrels. He brings a bunny home every now and then too. 95% of them come home alive and well. But, he'll eat the whole thing on them too. One was about half the size of him and he ate the entire thing in one day! Took a LONG nap in between halves, but he finished it. Not a single piece left. Little bit of hair.
Hope y'all enjoy your breakfast this morning! hehe
A month ago my 23 lb dog caught a squirrel, killed it, and brought it under my bed where he hides as well. Thank God he pulled it out within an hour and he and other dog had it laying between the two of them staring at it, I assume waiting on it to run so they could chase it. This is when I saw it. Had he not brought it out.....I can't even imagine!

Back from my smoke break, and was thinking, hope no one with little ones smokes inside, but i guess now there is a new vulture, 3rd hand smoke, who knew!! Does Marb know about this?! I am required to wear special clothes and wash up before touching my grandtwins, seems ridiculous. Don't mind washing up, but seriously a special smoking outfit? Love them to death, literally, does anyone else do this? Jules? You say you watch your grandkids?
Maybe a new prize should be a smoking jacket for those concerned about third hand smoke!! Is this for real? are my kids just paranoid?
When my sister does massages she wears her nurse outfits and wont smoke around them so that the people wont smell cigarette smoke while shes leaning over them. She also sucks on a mint just before they get there so they dont smell it on her breath. Alot of people dont like their massage therapist to smoke at all because the nicotine oozes out through your pores and can affect people with compromised immune systems so I can see what they are saying but on the other hand the more low level stuff they are exposed to can help them build up a better immune system for later in life. The studies go both ways.

I was afraid that would happen by the way they worded the email so around the 26th I called to verify I didnt want to change just so that would be my place in line. Cant find where I put my order number or we could compare those to get a more accurate idea of deliveries.

I heard of a interesting study, they say people who have tumors benefit from smoking because of the fact the person is getting less oxygen and tumors need oxygen to grow
