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 !

Father keep our brothers and sisters in the military strong in their faith as they face the horrors or war. Let them be salt that they are called to be to their brothers in arms. Let them be that light upon the hill so that other soldiers can see the difference you make in their lives. Hide our brothers and sisters in the safety of the shadow of your wings. Continue to show yourself strong on their behalf for you are their fortress, their shelter and strong tower that they can run to when they are in need.

Provide everything they need, and never let miscommunication be the cause of any deaths of our soldiers father. Bring peace and comfort to soldiers who may have lost their friends in battle. Be with them and strengthen them physically, emotionally and mentally. Also let those whose time has come to have had a chance to come to know you before their time has come. I thank you that you hear my prayer and that it will be done because I ask you in faith believing you will do what I have asked of you. Thank you Lord for all that you have done and are about to do on the behalf of our soldiers.
Amen
Amen.

Okay, I'm in trouble. It's my own fault for being totally ignorant of prices, but now I'm screwed.

I entered this sweepstakes: https://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=2976287

All it said was a Valentino tote. My nephew's wife in IL loves Valentino stuff. I'm not certain she has any, but she loves it. I figured, hey, if by some miracle I win this, she'd be thrilled. And it's beige, not some bizarro color.

Well, I won it. But the notification said I had to send my SS#. I thought, Oh my, it must be over $600. WHO KNEW??? Not ME, that's for sure. Bluefly, which was running the sweepstakes, showed it on their website on sale: http://www.bluefly.com/Valentino-...detail.fly

If I accept the prize, I'll owe a couple of hundred in taxes. I can't sell it -- I checked on eBay and no one is buying. Craigslist isn't high-end enough to pay that price or anything near it.

Can I not accept a prize? If I do accept it, will the 1099 show the full retail or the sale price?

Thanks for the pm.

Due to the economy hubby was laid off again and I went back to work full time which has exhausted me. Some of you know I was extremely ill due to the fungal pneumonia I got from the federal building I used to work at. As of now my lungs are only 60% healed so I tend to get exhausted. Life has become difficult not only when they let you go as you are no longer "suitable" but then they swipe your medical insurance leaving you without a way to see the doctors for the essential medications one tends to need to heal.

Hope all of you keep trying to catch up to Cindy and Gary with all their wins.

also don't think you have to accept it. ask her if she really wants it will she pay the taxes on it. and figure your taxes both ways with and without it and you will know what she has to pay.

What is it with you and winning purses? laugh out loud You do not have to accept the prize. Write them and tell them you do not want it becaue you do not want to pay the taxes on it. They will select another winner and case closed.

If she loves it so much aske her to reimburse you come tax time. What makes you think the taxes will be a couple of hundred??? You can just not turn in the paperwork and it will go to the next person.
You do believe in winning ugly purses dont you?? EEK!
