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 !

Okay, I got the following email just now:

"Subject: AMP Energy Marks the Spot Sweepstakes Winner Notification
Congratulations!
Someone using this e-mail address has been selected as a daily prize winner in the AMP Energy Marks the Spot Sweepstakes sponsored by Pepsi-Cola Company.
The daily prize you have won will be shipped to the address you provided upon entry into this sweepstakes. Prize will be shipped via UPS or USPS service and will arrive in approximately 4-6 weeks.
On behalf of Pepsi-Cola Company, we appreciate your participation in the AMP Energy Marks the Spot Sweepstakes.
Once again, congratulations!"

As far as I can figure, a disproportionately LARGE number of those prizes were won by FFers. Do they like us over there or what? Of course, once again, the email gives no clue what the prize will be, but still....we're racking up the winnings over here from that game. bounce
Congrats Smilie

Okay, you all know me -- basically, I'm easy. I'm happy with what I get and don't get ticked off if I don't get anything. But I hate -- repeat HATE -- getting told I'm getting something for free and it turns out it's not.

Back on 4/16, there was a freebie for Oxygen Botanicals samples. A lot of people ordered them and there were lots of thumbs up on the posting. Well, today the company sent out emails telling everyone:

"The retail value of the Oxygen Botanicals™ Free Sample Package is up to $114.00!!!

The Oxygen Botanicals™ Free Sample Package only requires you to pay a $7.95 shipping & handling fee (in the USA)."

NO indication in the initial sign up that it was anything but a little sample. No "WOW $114 for only $8." So now I'm pissed. Just wanted you to know, so if you too ordered that "free" sample, you're in for the same slap on the head.

That's great to hear! I went out of town in the middle of people trying to beat the sim, folks were offering to do it for people with slower computers. I'll check SD & see who didn't get one there. Thnx Dabble-Innnod

waveHey everyone. Don't see anyone familiar here today tho. anyway, 3 belt buckles(2-women's 1-men's) and three bandanas ariived this week. I was on a spur of the moment road trip to Virginia Beach. Never been there, thought we'd try something different. Anyway, no one told me there was an airshow on the beach every day! It was kinda neat watching & hearing all the military planes & jets flying over all day. Even enloyed them at 11Pm when they were STILL flying over. BUT, after 3 SOLID days of this, the novelty wore off.Mad Too loud, too long & too frequent! don't think we'll be going back there anytime soon! Lol
Aww - sorry you didn't enjoy it more Frown

Congrats. Gee it would be nice if they told ya what you won
Nah, that would take all the fun out of it. Besides, it's a coffee table book or a bunch of cans, so it really doesn't matter. All that counts is that it's a WIN ! ! ! woot

That's ok. It wasn't ALL bad. I think we'll stick to Myrtle Beach & Florida tho. Some one suggested we try the Gulf side of Florida, I like that idea. May take a trip to Ft. Myers in a couple weeks. I'm really starting to believe my husband now when he sais he's going to semi retire! NEVER would have believed it. But I'm enjoying him trying to prove it to me!!
