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 got the cutest little make-up bag in the mail today from Lucky Magazine. Funny thing is, I don't remember signing up for it! Oh well, free is free...going to use it to keep all my health & beauty free samples I've received and still have coming.

Also got 2 coupons for free Hunt's tomatoes from the one time I actually won that silly IWG. The other time I kinda won was when I somehow matched up the ingredients...that just got me a $1 off two cans or something like that.

The $5 gift card is the top of the limit on what you are allowed to trade for on SD. Check out the trading thread to see if you can get anything you want for it.
Actually, $5 is not the highest you can trade, it's just the highest value you can put on anything. So you can trade a $20 NBA cert for $5 worth of other stuff if you wanted to. Not that I can imagine why you'd want to...but people do all the time.

Can the NBA certs be stacked? If so, hold on to it for now...

As usual, no clue if this is already out there, but they're giving away an iPad a week. 5 entries per week allowed: http://www.alliedelec.com/Marketing/IndustrialAutomation/ia.aspx?utm_source=product&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=110222_ia
It's out there. What wasn't in the thread, though, was that you can do all 5 one after the other, and get the week's worth done at once. They noted that somewhere on their FB page.

I iMacroed mine with the same product, so I just run it 5x, takes no time at all.

Fergusson Faucets is giving away $50,000 to remodel your bathroom. Thats a luxury bathroom!!!! I could take out the tub, knock out the wall and extend the room out about 8 feet, sink in a jaccuzi tub and add a really nice waterfall shower and pay off half the mortgage!!! http://ferguson.promotions.com/dreambathswps/front.do
One (1) Grand Prize: A Bathroom Makeover consisting of the following:
  • KOHLER® brand toilet, sink, pedestal or vanity, showering system, bathing product, lavatory faucet, accessories
  • Wall covering (tile, wallpaper, paint)
  • Flooring
  • Countertops
  • Professional bathroom design service
  • Services of licensed contractors to complete dismantling of existing bathroom and installation of new bathroom components described above.
  • Bathroom remodel limited to existing bathroom footprint in one (1) bathroom in Winner's home (excludes mobile homes).
  • Total value of products and services cannot exceed $50,000

They don't give you cash, they only pay the bills. So be ready for a serious tax burden.

Which is why I'm not entering for it. It does no good to me to win something I can't afford the taxes on.

my sis sent this lol :
CURTAIN RODS-- PRICELESS

On the first day, she sadly packed her belongings into boxes, crates and suitcases.

On the second day, she had the movers come and collect her things.

On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining-room table,by candle-light; she put on some soft background music, and feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of spring-water.

When she'd finished, she went into each and every room and deposited a few half-eaten shrimps dipped in caviar into the hollow centre of the curtain rods..

She then cleaned up the kitchen and left.

On the fourth day, the husband came back with his new girlfriend, and at first all was bliss.

Then, slowly, the house began to smell.

They tried everything; cleaning, mopping, and airing-out the place.Vents were checked for dead rodents, and carpets were steam cleaned. Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters, during which time the two had to move out for a few days, and in the end they even paid to replace the expensive wool carpeting. Nothing worked!

People stopped coming over to visit. Repairmen refused to work in the house. The maid quit.

Finally, they couldn't take the stench any longer, and decided they had to move, but a month later - even though they'd cut their price in half - they couldn't find a buyer for such a stinky house.

Word got out, and eventually even the local realtors refused to return their calls. Finally, unable to wait any longer for a purchaser, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place.

Then the ex-wife called the man and asked how things were going. He told her the saga of the rotting house. She listened politely and said that she missed her old home terribly and would be willing to reduce her divorce settlement in exchange for having the house.

Knowing she could have no idea how bad the smell really was,he agreed on a price that was only 1/10 th of what the house had been worth ... but only if she would sign the papers that very day. She agreed, and within two hours his lawyers delivered the completed paperwork.

A week later the man and his girlfriend stood smiling as they watched the moving company pack everything to take to their new home ........
and to spite the ex-wife, they even took the curtain rods!
I LOVE A HAPPY ENDING, DON'T YOU?

I live in the area covered by this, and have stayed at some of the places, visited others, and eaten at nearly all of the restaurants listed. If you win it, you'll enjoy it. A lot.

However, no one but me is allowed to win it ;-)

Tell Bailey & Indo they are most welcome.

Oh, and I owe YOU a big THANK YOU as well....you posted the Interstate Battery contest last month, and found out today that I won a $125 Interstate Battery! Didn't win the truck, but I'm happy with the battery win.
I was obviously hoping to win the truck too, but the battery cert would have made me happy - I have a riding lawn mower that I want to convert to electric, the only thing I am missing is machining on the motor shaft and pulley, and the 2 batteries and charger(s) necessary. The whole project has been stalled for 2 years now Frown
