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 !

My sister just emailed to say that the movie got such bad reviews, she doesn't want the tickets. EEK! I think that's the first free thing she's turned down in 20 years. I'm afraid that all the free stuff I've been giving her lately has gone to her head. laugh out loud She turned down a freebie ! ! ! OMG

Remember we were talking about Canter's liver yesterday, well a doctor friend told me a story today, what a coincidence.

It seems Sol eats at canter's deli every day. He's been going there for many years, 10 at least.
So after missing him for the last 5 or 6 days the staff becomes concerned about him, where could he be and is he alright.

A waitress leaving work sees Sol across the street eating at another deli. Curious she goes in and asks Sol what's the matter, where have you been and why haven't you been into Canter's?

Well Sol explains that I went to mine dentist,such a mensch, and he did so much dental work on me. I had the rout channel, and he made me mine crown, then he built a bridge on mine bottom teets. All on the left side.


So whens I left his office, such a beautiful office, he tells me, Sol you must eat on the other side for a while,
So you see I'm eating across the street. I'll be back soon sweetheart.

Hey! I am a virgin winning this one! I know it isn't a great prize, but any surprise is nice!

Hey Throwback Fan!

Congratulations, you found the picture differences! Do you think Big Foot was too obvious? We thought Darth would totally give it away. Regardless, you have a good eye, and to thank you for your participation, we'd like to send you a rad gift from the Pepsi Throwback vault.

While it would be great to wiggle our nose and magically have the Random Act of Throwback arrive at your doorstep, we have to go old-school and send the package in the mail (it's more our style) so please respond to this email with a shipping address.

Thanks again for being a fan and be sure to check the Random Acts tab often, as we'll be talking about great moments from decades, past, giving you even more opportunities to win more radical goodies.

Stay Awesome,

Your Friends at Pepsi Throwback

I called Staples so I know what I have. He said it is like 4 brains (If I only had A brain) Smilie Anyway, he said I have an i5 and that is all I need for what I do. When my old 1-yr old computer fizzled with the storm, they were good to me. Wrote an estimate to include reloading all my programs and stuff in here. I also bought a lot of extras for this - a back-up, a very heavy-duty surge with battery back-up (and it has already kicked in 3x since Ihave it with all the thunder and lightning, extra things for the netbook (the netbook will not even kick the dirty laundry into the ERA washing machine before the top door shuts) a wireless device for the other computer, and a few other things. I really had to buy it from Staples as I bothered them constantly for over 2 months with calls and my physically going there. Because of them verifying that the storm blew out the other one and I will never know if it really did I was able to get this new one and all the other stuff. I did spend about $400 over what I got from the electric co (I got $900) but they charged to reload.

It may have taken you awhile to be BOLD, but you've probably got some rep power. Good going!
You really have to read the rules in the Space Needle contest. It is not a simple little entry.
Yeah, pretty slim chances, but still fun none the less. There's a lot of chances to TRY to qualify to compete to win.

Thanks Smilie

Gotta run again, BBL Good Luck Everyone Smilie
I received an email back from 1st day on the surprise gift that I never got. (what were they anyway - maybe I did get it but I don't think so - there were 3 let them choose) They advised they have no more and they are sorry. At least they took the time to answer me.

I feel so lousy with these teeth I figured if something else hurts more than the teeth my teeth will not bother me. So outside I went to rake the stones (I have stones in the front, grass in the back) figured I would get really hot (I did) and my back and arms would hurt (they do) but teeth are still the winner - they hurt. UPS was here while I got the tools from the back leaving a box. What a Surprise!! A really nice Budweiser cooler red and white that I can use to go to the food store for the cold food with this heat. Never knew I won and that was a long, long time ago. Think I entered once and no email notification? So that made me happy - it is useful and nice.

Actually I tried at 19 after and was planning on having to refresh, but the form was there. Try it next hour if you remember.
I clicked on enter as my clock turned to 7 pm exactly. Said pens were depleted. I refreshed over and over. Can that be?? (Bic Pens)

You've done quite well blondee! Plus you won a nice prize on your netbook when your other computer was down. It's cool that you were reimbursed by the power company for your loss, and you're wise to protect the one you have now. The power can go out here often, and we have a generator, but also surge protectors on everything...knock on wood!

In today's mail I got a little digital timer from Club Tyson. When I won, it said my prize was a Fun Silicone Band. I don't even know what that is. I like this better.

I remember you going through all that. Didn't sound like any fun at all. Isn't it something how out of sorts you feel when something goes wrong with your computer?

Surprised to hear the electric company paid instead of your insurance company. Did you have a surge protector on your electric box that blew?

I had a little surge protector but I guess it did not do the trick. Live and learn. Oh, it was not from a storm. I am confused - it was because they were working on installing big lights on the main road for weeks and it constantly made the whole areas lights go out without warning at all times of the day. they even worked on weekends so the lights would be finished in time for when the summer people come down in droves and this is the only main road to go to Long Beach Island. So they knew it was their fault, but I was really lucky as it was a really nice man. And he did it all over the phone. It was not the electric supplier who paid me but the owner of the sub-contractor that was employed by the elec. co. Took him about 2 weeks to first contact me and I figured i would get nothing. So that was my really big win for the year.

I have been entering and entering everything I can find. trying so hard. Thanks - I had a good brain and think sometimes I am losing it. I have dreams about these sweeps and wake up trying to remember what I entered and where I left off. nod
