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 !

she doesn't know what happened my nephew got an invite
they filled out all the stuff and they were waiting to find out when they were going
today she got a letter from Marlboro saying at their discretion they are awarding them the alternative cash value of $4415 dollars

she's actually upset, she wanted to go real bad.

There is severe amount of flooding there and probably alot of damage. Im sure they wont let people in until its safe to go. since they are constantly moving people through instead of cancelling all together they probably offered the cash instead of bumping the next person out of line

Same here, although I have received neither. Keeping my fingers crossed!
I just tried to order the free Tassimo coffee for the Pot online. I could not get the registration to go through - I don't know what I am doing wrong today Confused So I telephoned them and she took my registration and order for the coffee. I figured I should do it while I still remembered and then put it away.

The age thing doesnt matter. That was just a rumor. Im sure they dont want 90 year olds there. The age thing was for the work trip I think but people in their 60s and 70s have gone to the ranch as a vacation

Found this when I was looking for age limits. Ireally think the age thing was just for the work trip for the $6000. Im still looking for something official though

first off there is no age limit, there was a couple there when i was, they were 80 years young and also did the zipline!!!!! Another guy was about 280 lbs with one leg and a prothesis!!!! As far as AC and the beds or the shower or the soap goes maybe you women aught to go to the beverly wilshire in beverly hills instead!!!!! It is the Marlboro Ranch, it is a western town

Just went to the marlboro site and looked at the ranch and posts of pictures by people who have been there and there are older people there. This one guy keeps appearing in the photos on the first page. Got a drink in his hand and whooping it up!!!
