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 !

It's one thing to get no respect (I'm a Rodney Dangerfield type of person, I know that), but hows about a little SYMPATHY. hug Is that asking for sooooo much from my fellow contest enterers? Is it???????? I know, this one is my own stupid fault. If I ever meet Valintino, I'm going to smack him/her, so help me. I keep losing when I win. Am I the only one who has noticed that? shake head
you do have my sympathy sweetie!!! But at the same time it comes with hysterical laughter. If its any consilation - At least its not something YOU really wanted. I think of that every time I enter something with big $$$. I'll probably win it, and not be able to accept itlaugh out loud Never thought about entering for things I didn't want just so I could say Ummmm NOO! LMAO

That purse is way overpriced. shake head

I like Rodney Smilie

I could tell that my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster and a radio.

I drink too much. The last time I gave a urine sample it had an olive in it.

I get no respect. The way my luck is running, if I was a politician I would be honest.

I had plenty of pimples as a kid. One day I fell asleep in the library. When I woke up, a blind man was reading my face.

I have good looking kids. Thank goodness my wife cheats on me.

I haven't spoken to my wife in years. I didn't want to interrupt her.

I looked up my family tree and found out I was the sap.

I looked up my family tree and found three dogs using it.

On the plus side, today is the beginning of Shavuot. That means that the Center is closed today and only the receptionist and one social worker will be there tomorrow (plus the guard, of course) -- none of the normal activities are scheduled for tomorrow. So today I get to do laundry. I never do that on the weekends because we only have one washer and one dryer for the building and I figure that people who actually work should have access those days.

I never know what the Jewish holidays are for, but I'm the one who prepares the flyers notifying clients that we'll be closed. I google the name and get appropriate pictures to add to the postings. Everyone's always impressed by my ability to find them because I don't think more than 2 other people in the building even know HOW to google things. They're so funny and so easy to please.

Really? I don't know if I can because I'm sure that I entered my info when I entered the contest. But maybe it's doable. That would be so cool.

Quote from Katiebear7 :
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.
I just read your email - can't you get an attorney and collect something for your illness? I am so sorry to hear this.

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?

EEK!EEK! ARGH ! ! ! EEK!EEK!
You are always in trouble and it is not your fault. Funny.
