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's fantastic. I love avacados. But at $1 each at Ralphs, that's waaaay too high. Sometimes the good old 99¢ Store has 3 for a dollar. Snap those up with NO hesitation. But a whole case of them? I'd eat until my ears turned green. GREAT win.

Thanks. I knew the yellow wouldn't go away at 4K - I've seen other users with something like 4300+, and their box is yellow too. Not sure when it will change or to what - I think purple is the last one.

I did see someone finzz2dlf with 7956 and theirs is orange, and then someone with 39,000 and somethin and they were purple. Wonder why they don't have more colors?bouncebounce

Oh, my.

I just entered the Meritage home sweepstakes, and after doing so, decided to see what people are saying on their Wall. Talk about unreal.

If someone isn't in a wheel chair and needing a bigger house, they're on 12 different medications and will be needing a wheel chair soon, or they lost their house and are living in a trailer with 7 children under the age of 12, etc.

1) I can't believe that people would spill their guts that way (will Jerry Springer be choosing the randmon winner??)
2) I find it difficult to understand how people in such dire circumstances can afford the time/energy/wherewithal to enter the sweepstakes
3) I don't believe that spewing sob stories is going to make any difference in who wins the house
4) I hope I'm right about #3 above because I'd be hard pressed to come up with something better than they're moaning about. Having two cats does even approach living under a bridge in a cardboard box with two 83 year old parents, two adult children and 7 grandchildren.
5) I'm right about #3, aren't I? Please say yes. Show of hands if you don't mind. wavewavewave

Oh, I just checked finzz2dlf's profile & saw the orange box- interesting. Guess at some point (maybe 5K) if goes orange, then goes to purple (maybe 10K). The users with over 10K are all purple, even the ones with 40K+, so I'm guessing it's the last color.

Don't know why they don't have more colors. Even the yellow is better than the day-glow green (500-1000) - that one drove my eyes nuts.

wavei would hope #3 would be true. But you know how society just loves to get sucked into a good sob story.

Here's a show of a bunch of hands. Yes, you are right, a random drawing is just that, random. Done by a computer that is fortunate enough not to be able to read crazy people's sob stories.
I have never understood why people do that? Scratchhead I would be embarrassed to have people read stuff like that about me, if I were in those types of situations. Embarrassment
