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 !

Hello All,

News for anyboby who is still waiting on boots from the previous contest. Just receive a real nice ashtray about 5 " arround heavey duty with a leather trim going around it.The letter saysThank you for your participation in the Marlboro Country reward promotion.
This promotion was very popular and orderes for the Resistol Raunch boot by Lucchese exceeded our expectaions Because of this unanticipated demand it will take longer to ship your item then we originally projected. Lucchese is working to get your boots to you as soon as possible; however, due to the hand made nature of the boots, they may not ship untill April 20, 2011.
We apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience. Please except the enclosed ashtray for any inconvenience this delay may have caused. I don't think any body else posted but if they did sorry. I di look back several posts. Just passing the info on.

That's nice the you got a "sorry for the wait" gift! Seems only right since folks waiting on the bike got the Leatherman tool. The leather-wrapped ashtray sounds really nice!

That they are! Not counting on having any more luck on this one that I've had on the Lindor Truffle one. Guess they don't truthfully advertise them cuz' then no one would play their dumb, no-win games.

How much was the shipping on those? I got glasses online earlier this year, and it was something like $30 for metal frames, bendy hinges, and thin lenses.
Mine came to 18.85 with 1/2 frames, thin lenses and bendy hinges!!

For those of you that don't like the touch panel for mouse control and are using a USB mouse, you'll want to follow these instructions so you don't use the built in mouse pad when you are trying to type.

click Start / click Control Panel
under Hardware and Sound, click View Devices and Printers
right-click the top one that has the picture of your netbook, select 4th option - "Mouse Settings"
A window pops up - select the far right tab that says "ELAN". Half way down is an option that says "Disable when external USB pointing device plug in"

I'm not sure why this wasn't a default setting, but this is the way to do it. I've heard several people who aren't fond of the built in mouse panel. This will turn it off if it detects that you have a USB mouse plugged in.

I'll post this over in the Snus forum, too... maybe I'll get some reps
Cool

Interesting. I got almost the same thing, word-for-word, except the last part about the ashtray, in an email yesterday from Lucchese (and yes, it even was signed from Marlboro, but was definitely an email from Lucchese).

It would be nice if I get the letter and the ashtray, considering how long it's taken to grow these boots.
