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 !

HAPPY SPRING EVERYONE! Hope you all got to see the perigee moon last night!

My neighbor called the other day to tell me about a yellow labrador retriever that is at the correction center near here. It is a three year old male named Wilson, and he needs a home. He is with the Humane Society, and they do obedience training at this facility. I'm going to see him on Tuesday. I am super excited...I haven't had a dog since I lost my twin labs two years ago, ten days apart. They were 12 years old, but I didn't handle it well, and my life spiraled out of control afterwards. Labs are my favorite...so I may be a dog mom again!

I haven't won much of anything lately other than the belt buckle, actually two of them. It was sure fun to see all the people here working together for those goodies. My SD buddies ROCK!
Sure hope it works out that you can get Wilson. Don't think I'll ever be without a canine kid in the family - they're so special! Smilie

Completely off subject, but I need your advice. Every day I fill out all the forms for the freebies and they always say thanks etc. So, I know they go thru. Probably the first was a free sample of sweet spots or soft spots for dogs. I got an email a few weeks after and they asked how my dog liked it. I wrote back that I never got it, and they wrote again that they sent it. I thought nothing of it. I got a free vaseline and cereal. Then, my neighbor got free Kraft Mayo samples and I did not get mine. I called Marlboro about my replacement SD card and they said it was mailed on 3/3. They do not usually screw up. They are resending another one. I never did the free sites before I joined SD, but I am worrying that maybe something is happening to my mail? I get all my other mail, but 3 out of 5 not making it here. I know I asked for a free Bic Lighter and the Target ladies' cosmetics. If anyone receives these could you post it? I do not want to make a scene at the Post Office yet until I am sure. Is that how the free sites are? Maybe they send them--maybe they don't? But the Marlboro SD card - that seems funny. Thanks.

Try it with a small group of 5 or so - you might be surprised - I routinely open 40 plus at one time with each folder.
Yes - tabs are extremely small and you cannot see names but if you are opening them everyday why do you have to? I would suggest breaking them up into groups of 30. Make sure to separate the weekly ones into their own folder. Just a suggestion - simplified my life.
I tried to rep you but you havent posted anything where they will let me

Why does the song Lovely Rita, Meter Maid pop up on my head. I guess the old Beatles songs just get stuck in your head forever! (not a bad thing, IMO)

Do you want help with the buckle? I'm willing to help, but it might take me overnight to do it... I'm not as fast as others!
That was my "theme song" in high school (decades ago) lol... Oh & the buckle - Goldie helped me the first of the week, but thanks anyway and I like the new avatar...

Many freebies are never received, but if others are getting them, then you may have a mail problem. As for the lighter and cosmetics, noone got those yet, and mayo samples are still being received.

call your post office speak to your postmaster and just tell him you are concerned that maybe your packages are too big or are being damaged ,that you have been shopping online and winning contests and some of your shipped items arent arriving. Ask if they have had some arrive damaged and cant read delivery address. Tell him you are looking for one from marlboro and Kraft.I guess Im very lucky my mailcarriers bring anything too big to my door.(of course finding his paycheck on the ground AND returning it helped).

Thank you both for answering. I don't think these samples are too large for my mailbox. If I start getting other samples, then I guess it is ok, but the Marlboro thing worried me. I just hope they did not get a new sorter at my PO as this never happened to me. They usually go out of their way to make sure i get everything. I will probably see when others start getting samples. Thanks again.

I also got an e-mail asking about pet food that I never received. Think that was a scam!

That must be so frustrating. If they are made in Japan, it may be a while yet. Such a shame.

If anyone is interested, there are still belt buckles available from Marlboro. I just got one. It took me all week to do it because my laptop is too slow.

I'm (my dog) is waiting on 3 diff doggie treats and a dog food sample from Wallyworld
