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 !

Does anyone here remember the "lightening bugs that we use to catch when we were kids in a jar? They don't have them here, I think only in the East. That use to tickle me pink, my brother and I use to see who could catch the most. Love those little things.
They are still around but not so much as when I was young - I think we all caught them and killIed them back then and they are becoming extinct somewhat. Used to put them into these pretty red jack-o-lantern flowers and they lit up for a while when we squished and squeezed their lighted tails.

Got the Oscar de La Renta perfume and went to WalMart for the Bic lighters They were and are out of the 5-pack of the large, so I went to the manager and he was nice and gave me 2 packs of the fancy designer 2 packs - so I got 4 lighters. None of these lighter designs are as nice as what we designed on that site. Is that why we got the coupons? for designing the lighters? I forget, or was the free coupon separate? Got the runaround from Microsoft - held on 5 separate times and never got the right person. Then got 2 emails that they tried all day to call me and I have call waiting and they did not and I wasted most of my day. Picked up the laptop but having a severe storm so I am not attempting to connect anything. Still on my battery netbook.
Note to self - picked up the desktop - i do not have a laptop. Sorry, i must pay attention to what i am saying. FacepalmDoh

I am not dedicated enough to vote for all the entries in the Monterey contest so I vote for the person's recipes at the top until they win and remove their name. Then I vote for the next name on the list. This has worked for me until tonight when I saw Gary had moved his recipes from the "going for more" group to the top tier. I know Gary has lots of FF friends and they'd probably vote for him again any way but this is not fair to the people Gary moved in front of.

Okay blast away. But deep down you know this is not right.

Yes, oh my gosh, neighbors here in CA have never heard of them. I am from MA, came out here about 68 and really miss even catching them and putting them in jars! It was great, great days.


Yes thanks so much Katie for the help and the 'referral' for my little tinkerbell's life, lol. So cute, I just love it.

Katiebear, Easter is next week . I think all of us ff'rs could send the gals a card and congratulate them. Would that be OK with you? If we all get them out by Tuesday they will have them. I love to put a smile on special peoples faces.hughughug
What about everyone just give them congrats on their entries?

Now, Tink - you look like you're having too much fun!!!


On another note, if Tinkerbell was flying towards the messages I would start to worry.

You're so sweet!

What's interesting is how none of our clan has yet to vote - only FFers. Don't know what the girls would have done without ya'll.

Hi guys, Thought I would let everybody know if you signed up to get a free Flask from Copenhagen wih your initials on it, That they have finally started sending them out... My father called me today to let me know he recieved his. and he put in for his the same day as me and lives within 9 miles from me.

Said he doesn't know what to do with it as its so small, said it looked better in the picture, he thinks it might
hold 6-ounces.
Sounds LARGE enough for lemonade at church??? Wasn't it MLx3 who said that?

People could post an entry here to you with an attachment. That attachment being a MS doc or whatever with congrats. Granted anyone could open it here too, but it would keep the girls and your privacy intact. You could always print it out for the girls. Hope that helps. Or can you PM with attachment? If you can that would be even better.
