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 glad you like your new computer. I was up all night the night before after the end of my work week...finally slept well last night.
I never did figure out that e-mail yesterday. But I just got this...very exciting! A $200 electronic gift card from Ticketmaster from the Sunkist Soda Awesome Summer Sweeps. I enter every day, but the other day I entered about 15 times. I wonder if that did the trick? Now I've got to figure out who put that up here in the Funny Farm so I can thank them!

woot Fantastic! And so the winning streak continues Smilie Can you use that gift card anywhere or is it for ticketmaster? I didn't know you could enter more than once. Good going!

Well maybe that's for the mysterious email. That's a big prize. Didn't realize you could enter that contest more than once a day. I've been having trouble just entering it once each day, although they seemed to have fixed the "adding the year" problem I was having. Either that or it works cause of the new computer. Congratulations.

Thank you! Could be...hubby just got home from work and looked at it and is mystified too.
You can enter the Sunkist and the Coleman tent giveaway as many times as you want daily.
I just checked the rules for the Sunkist one. You can win one prize per person/household for each drawing period. From what I can tell, each drawing period is every day. So we can keep on entering to try and win again.
Woo Hoo!

I always figured those unlimited entry contests were not winnable because of so many entries. I won this yesterday during my sleepless contest marathon. I entered a bunch of times yesterday too. Good luck!

Many friends and strangers have been posting various stories about some wonderful contest wins. Congratulations to all!

I personally don't find enough time to enter very many contests other than the Marlboro contests! By my way of reckoning if Marlboro is going to host a OWTW #5 for 2011-2012 we should be getting the early indications in September. Do you think we will be treated to another OWTW this coming Fall and Winter?

Now where have you been? Have asked about you numerous times. You could say hello a little more often - Just hello, I am ok. wave
OOPS! Sorry! I've been doing gardening (scads of tomatoes) and also trying to stay cool in the recent miserable temps. Too many days with high humidity has made many days really miserable. (for those that don't know I have a form of COPD) I also have been busy on-line trying to locate a 'perfect' horse ranch for my brother and sister-in-law somewhere in New Mexico. I could easily find a suitable place in Missouri, but they will not even consider here because of the humidity. They want high and dry, perhaps 640 acres with a small valley that has some water and the place should be no more than a hundred miles from shopping, etc. Prices in NM have risen so fast, even with the nasty economy, it's as if landowners there have tripled four year ago prices and then decided to sit back and wait for a sucker. So, Born Blondy I have been here lurking late at night via my trusty (Asus) Netbook from bed...usually at 3 am after the dogs have waken me to let them out ... and the Netbook is too dammed hard to type with unless it's an emergency, especially from bed.

I will try and at least post that I am alive and lurking..EEK!

Thank you! I'm having fun in my cluster! Looks like the gift card is good for concerts or ball games. We used to go to a Mariner game once each summer, but the team is doing so poorly this year, I think I'll save it for something better.
Did you get your records from Mountain Dew yet? That's pretty much all I tried for in that contest. I'm curious what throwback music they're throwing at you.

Wish that would work, she works as a server and the bus doesn't run at night by the time she gets out. I stupidly co-signed for her car so my a$$ is on the line too. When they're little you have little problems, when their big you have big problems! Can't afford to help her out, so guess we all go down with the ship! As it is my son is driving my car because he wrecked his a while back..........but, one way or another we'll muddle through.
but happy for you lizardo!
