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'm here to tell you that the clown shoes never showed up, however the size sandal my niece wanted DID just come through the door and look like this:

(They're made by Indosole, all hand made, using tires from landfill)

I'll admit that I don't wear sandals so can't say if she'll like these, but better than clown shoes, eh?

I'll give them to my sister to give to my niece and if she doesn't want them, I'm certain that someone at the Center will. Whew ! ! ! After all that, something decent showed up. woot

I'm with you on Dell. Almost every company I've worked for over the years have used Dell. I went to Dell's website and purchased a small business machine a few years ago. Got the CPU unit, the speakers and a large flat screen monitor for $500, including shipping. It really is a workhorse and I love it.

On the M&Ms one I kept reusing the same code until I read the rules and found out it has to be a unique code for each play so you have to use 5 seperate codes but you can reuse them the next day. So I was only getting an entry for the first one each day! The rest werent counted!!! EEK!
OMG. Now I'm really really ticked off at that stupid contest. If they weren't going to count entries 2 through 5, they should have notified us when we clicked enter. There's NO excuse for that. But at least I don't feel so bad about quitting. shake head

Thanks for putting a comment on the CarMax site. I don't know how you found my comment, because the link I put up got me lost. I get the feeling they don't care about feedback. At least on the Bud Light Lime page they have an 800 number for people to call who have had trouble getting their tickets.
Got my tickets in the mail today. Now to try and sell the, wish me luck!

Quote from Gary123X :
i7 over priced and not worth the extra cost unless you do film editing
get i5 dell is a good choice
do not get HP

Lenovo is also good choice. used to be IBM

I make these recommendations from listening to Leo Laport on the radio every Saturday and Sunday

here is his site:
http://techguylabs.com/radio/pmwiki.php

these are his recommendations every week Dell and Lenovo
I tend to agree with this too he also says get the i5
Thank you so much Gary. I will check out his site and start looking around. I hadn't thought of Lenova but am familiar with the name. I just thought it was still an IBM product.

Well, if I had upgraded the graphics driver when I was supposed to, I probably wouldn't be having this problem now. I mainly use it for the Internet and doing sweeps and playing games. Plus, I like it for photos. I really don't do anything complicated and neither does my husband. It will be nice to have a computer with more memory. Mine had a ceiling of 2GB but I only have 1 1/2 installed. I had considered adding to the max but kinda knew I should not invest any money into it. I made that mistake in the mid-90s by upgrading my then present computer instead of ditching it.

Jules is functioning fine with her netbook while away. She could guide you when she returns She puts up pics and everything with it. See what she has (IE 8 or 9). She is doing fantastic with it.
I have IE8 on my netbook. I saw no reason to change what was on it to begin with. Using the netbook is okay but I reallly have no desire to use it all the time. It's just too slow. I like having it when we travel to see the kids and other places.

I did get myself a nice plastic tray at Bed Bath & Beyond to sit it on when I'm lounging on the sofa. Good deal with a coupon. Has a very small lip that helps keep my mouse from sliding off. I guess a cutting board would have worked too, but this has the soft padding underneath.

I'm beginning to feel like such a Funny Farm Failure. Frown I've only been able to jump in, make or answer a few posts and then jump out again.

So happy belated birthdays to everyone I missed. nod
Congratulations on your wins -- big and small as they all count. woot
Sorry about your racoon problems -- so many people seem to have them. EEK!
I apologize for anything and everything else I missed over the last few days. Frown

I've decided to make it official -- Dove has a contest that's sooooooo much better than the other candy companies. I've actually won a candy bar AND a box of ice cream. And it hasn't been running for very long.

The million brains contest is recycling questions so it's a lot easier and faster to enter. I think I remember that someone here posted that they won a package from them. Good going !!

Has anybody won anything on that M&M 5 cars game? It was making me crazy so I stopped playing it, but if they've decided to start giving out IW's, I'll probably go back. It just takes so long to get through the thing and then there are four more plays to go. Then three, then two, then finally you're done and have to start all over again the next day. I just hated it. And did you notice? Not one of the IW's was for a BUP????

Well, have to leave again, but did want to let you know (as if you care) that I have been reading all your posts, just had to postpone the kudos. Until next time, have fun and WIN. I'm counting on you to keep me going here. hug
Congrats on your wins Smilie and your SILLY, no need to apoligize for having a life laugh out loud
