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 !

Are we right on the assumption that Marlboro sent out the second set of invites to ladies only?

In other words...are you a woman too? look around

That's the thing about assumptions.....EEK!

You're the first guy I know of who got one of the second set of invites...Smilie

So maybe they didn't get the enough entries from the first round of invites period...only D.L. Blair knowsnod

Does it only let you rep the same people a few times? I tried to rep you and haven't repped any one in like 3 days and it said I had to spread it around? shake head

Sounds like you submitted a great video, and I wish I had someone that could of helped me with the video and to edit. My hubby works out of town so I had to be a 1 woman circus, laugh out loud All I did was talk and I'm worried that my video won't stand a chance to others with more creative aspects. Maybe the sincerity I have will shine through on the Video!!
I wish everyone Good Luck!!

We never got the invite, between two accounts. But we've had incredible bonus goodies from Marlboro throughout the years. Several years ago I won a boombox (a very nice one...CD, cassette, radio). Then a couple weeks later, four sizzler steak plates with an oak base. I never could figure out what I entered to get those! I guess if Marlboro is going to slay us, we'll be happy along the way.Wink

I got an invite last week as well, but didn't get one the first time. If they had an estimated time of when you would be required to go I would have been more likely to try for it. Frown

When they say "spread it around", it means you have to rep some other people before you can rep that person again. Personally, I think it sounds unsanitary! LOL!

That's what I was thinking!! I would love to be selected, getting out and doing some good for the worldbounce

And then, with the money, taking my family on a vacation to SHOW them what I did for the week...that would be AWESOME!! "See kids, anyone can make a difference...even Mom!!"

Oh yah...I want to get picked!!Wink

The hard part was the ESSAY!!! How in the heck are you supposed to show "originality, creativity (50%) appropriateness to overall theme(40%) and sincerity (10%) in 150 words or fewer!!

I think I did it (thanks English degree) but it worries me that the essay has to be something special enough to get you past the first round....

I hope everyone on here who entered gets picked...it would be like a Funny Farm Family Project!!woot
