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 !

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?
She can't. Said it's hard wired and she's have to shoot it to make it stop. Only she doesn't own a gun.

That stinks that the stupid thing is hard-wired. If you don't have a gun, maybe a big hammer would take care of it.

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???
I wonder if they archived the tapes from that day? I was listening to old Beaker Street broadcasts from the 70s the other night. It was great!!

I had one like that. Until it got fixed, I shut the breaker off. All depends what else is on the same breaker.

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.....
I am sorry - tomorrow we will all feel better. I hope yu get some sleep.Sleeping

Sorry to hear you had a crazy day...
If it is hard wired can you just yank a couple of wire's apart?
Our doorbell went haywire the other night and sounded awful and scared the heck out of me.To get it to stop that is what we did until we can figure out what is wrong with it.

WHAT is going on with contests posted on facebook? Claritan had a giveaway scheduled for earlier today and it exploded. Six hours ago, they went through the "So sorry it's not working and we're trying to get it fixed...yada yada yada" routine and it's still not up and running. http://www.facebook.com/Clarins

Do you think it's facebook that's messing stuff up? I mean it's GOT to be embarrassing for these big companies to tick off so many people.

I watched American Idol and saw that was coming on but did not watch it. Maybe next week if I remember.

take the front cover off and unscrew one of the wires inside .. there should be a red and black one either one should stop it... or maybe flip breakers in the breaker box until you find the one its on just make sure its not on the same circuit as the refrigerator - its should be on a small breaker like a 15v small one... good luck

I know, and there is a lot of them lately, isn't there.
