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 !

You're more than welcome but I have no idea what I did, other than hide on the away-from-the-teeth-side-of-you on the AMP contest.

But I'll take anything nice I can get. Today has been a NIGHTMARE. I woke up to find that one (or maybe both if I'm being paranoid) of my cats spilled a drink I left on the computer desk and it soaked the keyboard and the mouse. Totally destroyed them. So I hooked up an old keyboard and mouse, but the bottom row of letters and the space bar were dead.

Soooo.....after I left the senior center where I volunteer, I went to Office Depot and got a really cheap keyboard and mouse. Then I went home (two more buses) and couldn't get into my apartment. Some maintenance man had been in to check the smoke detectors and, despite the HUGE note taped to the inside of the doorknob, locked that as well as the deadbolt. The doorknob lock has been broken for like 5 years but I don't care because it's the usual "Got an old credit card we can open it with?" type of lock. But I couldn't get it opened so went upstairs and bothered a very nice old woman who thinks I'm crazy anyway. She let me use her phone to contact the managers. They gave me the number to a locksmith who took almost two hours to show up.

He couldn't pick the lock because it was SERIOUSLY broken, so he credit carded it open and had to replace the whole thing because it's old and he couldn't fix it. To make a long story short (too late, I hear you moaning), he charged me $249. If I hadn't gone to the ATM on Monday, I'd never had had that much cash on hand. The managers said they'd reimburse me for the cost. Can't wait to see how long THAT will take (shades of Camel awards).

But to top everything off, when the flake who locked the doorknob was here checking the smoke detectors, he messed up the one in my bedroom because it's now making that ear shattering beeping noise. Even with the bedroom door closed, it's offensive. I'll be wearing earplugs and sleeping in the living room tonight.

Well, talk about ranting.....

Im sorry to hear things went so bad for you today, just think the day is almost over, and a new one starts soon Smilie
I had a smoke alarm that went bad last year. It was one of those talking ones. I was gone at the time. I came home, and hear voices when I was unlocking the door to come in, almost called the cops, cuz I knew no one was home. I came in anyway (silly me) and it ws that smoke alarm. Then I was freaking out that there was a fire somewhere.

So sorry you had such a trying day! Are ya' puffin' away like your avatar? A good nicotine fix usually helps me. Did you take the batteries out of the smoke detector & get it to shut the he!! up?

Wow, so sorry to hear about your miserable day. Sound like it should have been a Friday the 13th for yu. What ya can do is just take the batteries out of the smoke alarm and that will stop the schreeching. And call your managers back again. Good luckhug
Taking the battery out does no good. It's hard wired so I'd have to shoot it to get it to stop. Where's the gun when you really need it? Oh, I remember, I never bought one. Oh well. I left yet another message for the managers, told them how much the locksmith charged (thank goodness it was the firm they told me to call) and told them that I wanted someone in to fix that stupid smoke detector tomorrow because I wasn't going to lose TWO nights of sleep listening to that noise. We'll see what happens.

I actually like that one!! That would have been funny!!
I could not even explain the confusion, and the way the DJ's played with the listener's. I heard a lot of Funny S***, Just remebering it still hurts my sides.. You had Good Ol' Ralph going "Wheres the Country?" and You had Hardcore rocker Dave saying " Where's The Rock and Roll?" Thanks for bring back the memories,,,,.. (and I think Johnny Dare) got released... Even though the radio stations had to be on in it too. "Where's Johnny Dare???

Oh boy, maybe ya might want to sleep as far away from that room as you ca. And keep the radio or TV up loud to drown it out. If you're like me though, I can't sleep with any noises.Wink
