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 !

I'm sooo sorry. It must have lasted like 6 minutes. People were frothing at the bit, but I honestly thought they'd add extras because it was so late. The whole thing was very poorly handled. Mad

I cheated too. I just looked up my coffe maker online, and downloaded the picture. Maybe thay is why I didn't win! LOL
I downloaded a picture off the internet (don't have a coffee maker). I won the travel cup. If you don't win one, let me know & I will send you mine when I receive it - I don't drink coffee! One of my daughters does, but we have a few of those travel cups.

Thank you for the offer but,You can never have too many travel mugs. I am sure someone will use it. I have plenty, but seems like they are giving out lots, so maybe I will still get in on something.

Okay, so remember how I "won" a TV but then they said "Ooops" and retracted the notice? Well, they sent me a consolation prize:

Yuppers, folks, one of the most butt ugly purses I've ever seen. It's a green-tinged gold colored aligator/snake skin item -- sent FedEx. My first thought was "OMG, they have to be joking." but then, inside the purse, was a soft storage bag, so I said to moi-meme, "Hmmm. That looks kind of expensive." Went on-line, and the stupid thing retails for like $100. OMGOMG

They must have gotten it free for advertising or something. What a waste ! ! I doubt that even my sister will be able to think of anyone to foist this off on.
Sell it on ebay or craigslist - then buy yourself something nice, that isn't butt ugly!

I don't know how he got 4 points from you, thought that was reserved for those with 1,000 reps. But you only need 8 more, so here we go!
You also get extra rep points to give based on how long you have been on SD. wirasi has been around since 2007, so they get to give the 4 point max.

You must have at Least 50 posts for your reps to count

Your reps start at 1 point

You get an additional point once you get to 500 reps

You get an additional point once you get 1000 reps

You get an additional point once you make 10,000 posts

You get an additional point for every year you're an SD member

The most rep points you can have is 4

If your reps are worth more than one you can't choose how many points to give, you must give the full amount.

Thanks for posting that. I have it saved somewhere but didn't feel like looking when jemeredith was asking why your reps are worth 4.

I'm still wondering when my Scott's spreader will show up.

And FYI:

"Give me rep!"
