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 !

I haven't seen this one posted yet. One entry by July 30 or 31, can't remember. It's for Vichy skin care products and they've only got like 5200 "Likes" so far.

The saga of the second purse.

A very dear friend saved my butt on this one. She decided that as she has minimal taxable income this year, she'd accept the prize under her name and SS#. Once it arrived, she graciously forwarded it to me. My sending it to my niece should have been the end of the whole story, but this is ME we're talking about. ME and a PURSE.

Before it even arrived here, I excitedly showed a picture to my sister and told her how I'd won it for her daughter-in-law. She just shook her head and told me, "There's no way she'll want that." Now, I'll admit, it's not my idea of beauty incarnate, but it's a Valentino purse and it's my nephew's wife who would be getting it, right?

My sister gently explained that it's a day-time purse, something a woman would wear to a country club luncheon with her rich friends. It's not a purse that a woman with two young children would wear grocery shopping, or to Target. As much as Debbie might love it, it would end up in a closet and never see the light of day again. She suggested that I send her the picture of it and explain that I'd won it and wanted to know if she could use it.

I emailed Debbie Tuesday morning and she called me that evening. She was almost in tears because, as gorgeous(????) as the purse looked, she would be afraid to wear it. She then told me that just a few months before, her daughter had somehow knocked Debbie's purse out the car door and Debbie had run over it. As it was a Kmart special, she'd simply pulled out what could be salvaged and dumped the rest of the mess. But, she said, if it had been a Valentino purse, she'd probably still be in shock.

As my sister had warned me that this might be the result of my offer, I'd already been considering alternatives. I checked eBay and nobody was bidding on purses. I checked Craigslist but the purse is way too high-end for that. I asked my fashionista boss if she had any suggestions, and she said, "Why a resale shop, of course." She has a lot of friends that take things they're bored with or that don't fit to resale shops. The ones they use are in Beverly Hills, naturally. She figures that if the MSRP is $2,400, I could probably get about $1,000 for it less the shop's commission, but no guarantees. And it might take a while to sell.

So when my niece called, I told her I'd sell it and buy her another kind of Valentino purse and asked what she wanted. She said she'd love a small evening purse for when she goes to business functions with her husband. I told her to check out possibilities and let me know what she came up with. (My nephew emailed me and said that she'd been poring over websites after the kids were asleep and had even visited a few expensive retailers to check out the stock.)

Are you sitting down? She found the perfect item – a wristlet. It's black (not PP colored) with the Valentino logo somewhere on the clasp and she adores it. So, without telling her that I haven't sold the original purse, I dug into my savings and ordered her dream wristlet for her this morning. It's "only" $405, so I'm hoping like anything that the resale shop I'm taking it to tomorrow can get me at least that much. She deserves it, it will make her unbelievably happy, and I might not come out on the losing end of this. And yes, I'll let you know if/when the original one sells.

By 4PM I'd have turned around and gone home. From that statement you might infer that I'm not a race fan. You'd be soooooooo correct. laugh out loud But glad you enjoyed it.
