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 !

LOL. I just don't understand why the train companies can't add on a caboose where you could go for a smoke. Makes no sense to me.

I got 2 samples today - the Purina dog food and the sinus bottle and samples of saline. I also got a phone call from Bass Pro Shops - they said I "won" 2 trips to Florida, Las Vegas or a cruise. I have a year to decide. I was driving and could not keep talking on my cell and asked them to call me back after 6 tonight. What worries me is that they said it will just be $259 and that was when I had to hang up. This is not a win, right? Anything win does not cost money. I am waiting for them to call. did anyone else get a call like this? I asked if I could just have the Bass Pro gift certificates (they said something about $50) and they said no. Any ideas? Thanks.

The last time I rode on a train it was from Seattle to Whitefish, Montana at night. It was in mid-August during the Perseid meteor showers, and I got a terrific show from the observation car. One of the conductors was bored, and befriended me, (flirting) and took me to the caboose, where we stood outside smelling the night mountain air, and probably smoked a cigarette too. But that was in the early 1980's, and I believe you could smoke inside the train back then.

It's a TIME SHARE thing!!! I went into the Bass Pro Shops in Las Vegas and ALMOST got hooked into it.....

They tell you that the $259 is a deposit and you get it back in BASS PRO GIFT CARDS if you follow thru 100% on the fine print.....(like a 90min "presentation")

Air fare IS NOT included, but if you live close to one of the locations it's not a bad deal....but STILL NOT FREE!!

Hope that helps a littleWink
