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 !

Most of you are aware that I just got this desktop (will try to make a short story LMAO) Both desktop and Marlboro netbook were fast as lightning for a few days and then slower than dialup. Called Verison, got the biggest dummy ever, and she screen shared which I do not like and after holding on so she could get advice from her mgr., she came back and said "We feel it may be time for a new computer? How old are they?" I flipped out. When OWTW 1st started, I had this same intermittent problem for months and it turned out after 10 repairmen here to be a loose connection in the box in the street and when cars went by, connection loosened. they told me then to get a new computer and I DID. That was the one that fizzled with the electricity. I got the mgr. on the phone and they have called me daily now for 3 days and fixed something in the office. I sure hope it holds up this time. shake head
With all the wind and rain it's likely you have a loose and/or corroded connection OUTSIDE !! I went thru the same thing with Verizon a few years back.. Every time it was windy or raining I would lose connection, and the Indian rep insisted it was an inside problem and I needed to have all my phone jacks tested and rewired !

So I had a most profitable trip to the cemetary today (never thought I would be saying that) Cemetary is in a little town in Minnesota 50 miles from here in the boonies, after we visit the cemetary we always stop at this little country bar/restaurant/gas station really good burgers. So I fill the tank with gas go in and me, my daughter and 2 grandkids order lunch, well pull tabs are legal in minnesota so i go up to the bar and buy $20.00 in $1.00 pull tabs. finish opening them i have three $2.00 winners woo hoo right? so i cash them in for 6 more pull tabs and i get 2 more winners only they are $102.00 and $50.00 now that is woo hoo!!! my grandson is jumping around all excited. So paid for all of our lunches and a tank of gas and still walked out $65.00 ahead. Cool beans.
Congratulations on your pulltabs win!!

Do you have a cellphone? Make the alarm go off at a certain time daily. I have been remembering without doing that but I should set the alarm.
I have to set the alarm to go off so the dog will know when its time for my sister to come home. Otherwise she sits by the door and barks at everything just in case its her

I had that happen too. So frustrating until you say that since they cant seem to get it right your going back to your much faster company.

Scratch off = scratch scratch scratch
Pull tab = pull pull pull

WOW ! ! ! You won on the Kit Kat game??? That's great. On the Hershey games, I look at the picture and figure that any prize is coming directly out of the pocket of the person/people depicted and they are loathe to give up anything. But you picked his pocket for $50. Good show ! !

was just saying there are hundreds of tickets in the box there were only 12 $100.00 winners (mixed like straight hundred or like mine $102.00 etc.) a $54.00 and a $50.00 and 220 $2.00 thats it out of all those tickets the only one gone was a $100.00 ticket marked off so the odds of me winning 2 out of those 6 tickets was not good. so it was a awesome win!!!!!!!!!!!

That's a sweet win and you normally have to go through tons of them to find winners. We get them when we go to PA for Old Homes Day and I got a bunch for my nephews. Of course, one pulled a $100 ticket the other didn't so I was the bad guy for awhile.

I saw Gary said he won on the Game of Thrones one. Been wondering if any winners. I play that thing daily.
