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 !

You probably have a lot more now. I'm going to have to put them in order of best payout. That way if I can't get through all of them, I'll at least get the most important ones.

Hi everyone. Haven't had much time to be here lately. For those who showed their concern about my baby girl canine kid, Sammy - just heard from the vet tonight that her biopsy from the rhinoscopy she had this past Thursday showed cancer cells. We aren't equipped up here for radiation therapy on animals and next option is chemotherapy which can be very expensive. So we're going with 3rd- anti-inflammatory meds that she will take for the rest of her life. It slows things down. Timeline they gave is 6-8 months. She's only 9 years old and way too young to go through this as far as I'm concerned. We'll appreciate everyday she's with us until 'then'.

On happier notes - hope you all are winning big, enjoyed your holiday weekend and all that good and wonderful stuff!

Love yourself, love your family, love your friends and even love those you don't think are loveable! They may be gone in the blink of an eye.
Thinking of you and Sammy. Take care.

Cool I finally got all the way onto camel site and after I took the challenge I got this message: Thank you for posting for Challenge 1. On behalf of your friends at Camel we're sending you a movie gift card for helping us make this program better. Smilie Yippee! But was not an instant winner.

I got that message, too, but I don't see movie money listed as one of the prizes. Odd!

I keep telling myself I'll cut down on the number of contests as they expire, and then someone posts some really good ones.

Yesterday I didn't even do all of them because I went shopping. Decided I should buy myself a new dress. Found about 10 on the clearance racks to try on and decided on one. I liked the way it fit except it was too short, so I bought some of those capri tights.

Now I need a place to wear it. Thought I might wear it when we went out to dinner tonight for our anniversary, but we decided on Chinese, so the dress stayed in the closet.
Happy Anniversary

I just lump them under a subfolder called contests. I should at least break out those that just get played once a week.

Miss jules, retired auto mech, had same car and changed same parts about 10 years ago. Timimg belt $15; water pump $22; idler pulley/tensioner $20.
Parts still around same price, up not down. Labor would have been $150.
Best guesstimate $300.
i just checked on line looks like now about $200.00 for just the parts. then labor. Thinking total about $400.00 to $500.00 for both

I'll take it to Chicago when we go to see yougest son and his wife. Maybe we'll go to a nice restaurant. I tried it on for my husband and he looked rather surprised but pleased that I picked out something so upbeat.

I received my Cuisinart 8" skillet today from Steamy Kitchen. It is really nice with a Lifetime Warranty. It came USPS.
What did we have to promise to do to get that gift certificate? I cannot remember and don't want to ignore it as it was nice of them to give us that.
