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 !

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.
I was having the same thing happen a few years back and I asked my neighbor if she was getting my mail in her mail box. She said she was and she was keeping it because it said "or resident" on it!!! I turned her in to the mail office and they said I would have to catch her in the act. When I told them she admitted it to me they said I could lodge a complaint with the police dept but I had to list what she took and the value. The police wouldnt do anything because the value wasnt over $500!! They had a very lazy police department!!

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.
Doesn't work in my case - I often use a unique e-mail address for a contest, so Chrome Autofill doesn't help.

But if iMacro shows up on Chrome, I'm there, even with the brutally sucky way Chrome handles bookmarks (open up FF's Bookmark Manager to see how it should be).

That must be so frustrating. If they are made in Japan, it may be a while yet. Such a shame.
Fuji bikes arent made in Japan. They are made in China. They'll be recalled for the lead paint!! Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

I think the only reason noone said anything earlier is that we don't know the situation, and didn't know what to say! I DO know that I can say this for a few of us on here, that if you need to chit-chat, we are only a PM away!

Following bankruptcy, Advanced Sports Inc. took over bicycle distribution in the USA and still own the brand today. In 2005 Ideal Bike Corporation acquired a 60 per cent stake in the Asian wing of the company that markets the brand in Asia. To cut costs Fuji Bikes moved manufacturing from Japan to Taiwan, China and Poland. They manufacture decent quality products for road, off road, children and police. They also manufacture bags, racks and fenders. Most riders say the bikes are smooth and comfortable to ride although some of the touring frames are rather heavy.

Additional Information
Standard Frames: Yes

Custom Frames: No

Retrofitting old bikes: No

Year Established: 1899

Products Made In: Taiwan, China and Poland

Availability: dealers in 36 countries worldwide, no shipping

Types of Bicycles: road, mountain, specialty, women's, lifestyle, kids, police

Construction Methods: Carbon integrate T-T construction

Frame Materials: steel and carbon
