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 !

That is pretty weird. They should offer you a consolation prize.
My BF/hubby sez your cat smokes too much!
Did you tell your BF/hubby that I've been slapping Nicorette patches on that cat's butt for nearly a year and all to no avail? Did you mention that? Hmmmmmm???

When we vote,does it just count as one point or if we give 5star's does that give you 5pt's.
I'm not in the contest I am just voting so I don't know how it work's.

Doesnt matter what you vote it counts as 1 . Ranking it a 5 puts it up ther at the top of the list and is more likely to get votes from people who only vote for enough to get what they want!!

Only 140 more and I have the jacket for my sister!! I voted for you and added you to my to vote for daily!! Hope you get what you want
CWhetme, I found 2 i hadn't voted for and did. Hope she gets it. also, thank you for your votes. FF's are the best. We have found a community to help each other, now if the government could only do half as well as we do, we will do what we need to do to get the country back on track. oops, i usually don't do politics online. Good luck for your sis. I will vote again tomorrow.

[QUOTE=treedown02;38859567]This is what I just sent them.



I can't believe you would contact one of my friends Carol,and tell her that she was the winner of a TV from one of your contests. Then turn around and email her again saying you MADE A MISTAKE and she is not winner. What kind of a company do you people operate? And don't even offer her a consolation prize? Your magazine will never be in my home of many of my other friends again. You've lost a lot of business over this blunder.

OK cw, just got yours and your sis's done for today. Slowly but surely I'm getting them all. Do some, go back do some more. Takes time.

This is what I wrote:

You recently did a contest and sent a email to my friend Carol and said she won a t.v. Then you sent an email later saying it was a mistake!?!?! This is not right and you can't do business this way. You need to make it right!!! You screwed up not her. If you are in touch like your magazine says then make it so!!!! Until then I curse you, tell all my friends and will burn your issues!!! Oh and WE will hide every issue you have in everystore WE go!!!!

and off it goes!

Don't mess with the power of the Funny Farm!shake head
OMG ! ! ! Please tell me you're joking. It was an error and I didn't think I'd won anyway. Honestly, I wasn't upset. I was certain from the beginning that it was a mistake or spam. Nobody did it on purpose. Now they're going to be afraid to send copies to stores, fearing that we're lurking around every corner, getting ready to hide the issues. EEK!EEK!

On the other hand.............. maybe you're right. They should suffer. You are too funny. bounce

In Touch Weekly did the same thing to me. I received that same e-mail you got, back on April 6, advising I had won the LG TV ... and the "SORRY our bad you didn't win" e-mail today. Disappointed beyond belief. I had been dreaming about that TV for a week Frown
I'm sooooo sorry. When I first mentioned this I told everyone it was probably spam and I honestly never imagined I had won. It's a shame that you got your hopes up that way. Sounds like there might be thousands of people out there who are very disappointed this morning. That's a pity.
