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 am going to make a last-ditch effort for those cars and candy and then go to sleep. Hopefully be back tomorrow. Have to install new Norton tomorrow or Saturday, subscription is up. Bought the disc - Hope it goes in easy.


thanks - no rush. I will find it. I see the Dove bars all over so we will have no trouble when we get those coupons. Also got the Sour Patch coupon but those bags were too little - have to find them also. Good nite all. wave

I haven't read through all the posts, but when I try to go to the Kenmore site there is a warning window that says this site is not to be trusted. I've seen that there before, and just went back later.

Congrats on another win!! Thumbup Used up my last two plays hoping a bike would pop up. No such luck. Just happy to at least have gotten the car! I did have some weird luck with Uniball though. I entered for my daughter (using her info, I have already won three prizes) who wanted one of their pencils for school, and won (pencils) on two of the three codes. First entry for her and get wins on the first two codes!! Guess she gets her pencils!! Biggrin2

Quote from Gary123X :
I don't know if it's just southern California or the times but the stuff the kids do now was nothing like it was when I was growing up

Our house was always open to my friends but none ever stayed more than a day, everyone always went home

now kids go out and go home when they feel like it
this has been going on since my son was about 10 or 11

one kid begged me to adopt him he couldn't get it that he had parents and I couldn't, he stayed here weeks at a time
he's now graduating college and headed for law school
he still comes and stays when he's in town

I can't count how many times strays called me in the middle of the night for a ride
girls were the worst
can you pick me up,, it's 3:30 in the morning
ok where are you
by a friends
but where
I don't know

ask someone
they don't know either

ok walk to a street corner and tell me what street it is
OK I'll try and find a sign

I eventually would find them


why were 13-14 year old girls out at that hour
simple their parents didn't care or they're stupid

then there were the girls that got dumped in the park because they were too drunk and no one wanted to deal with them. had to go get those 2 a number of times

I used to refer to them as my foster family
Quote from cwhetme :
I know what you mean. When my son was growing up I took in 5 different kids whose parents just didnt want them any more. Who gets tired of raising their 13 year old kid??? Some of these kids wouldnt have had a chance at life if we hadnt taken them in. 1 joined the Army, and all but 1 grew up to make something good of their lives.
Parenting is never over but Im glad now I can be his best friend! which is awesome because if he wasnt my son he would be someone I would want as a friend

It takes a village in today's world. People who help parent other people's kids ensure the their safety for the present and their future as productive and happy adults. If your kids are your friends when they grow up, you have done a good job.

I love Zeek! He's a sweet feller and a superb swimmer. There is a nice pool in the creek, within walking distance of the house. I start by throwing sticks, but he will just swim in circles. It makes him happy, and that is the charm of a Labrador.
He still itches though, and we have done everything but blood tests. Someone suggested fish oil, and I haven't tried that either. When he's calm, he's fine. He itches when he's excited. I've already begun to put the vet's daughter through college, but that's where I'll be headed on days off next week. It makes me sad to see him uncomfortable. This is my fifth Lab, and have never had this kind of a problem before. He doesn't bark, except when he's asleep, so he's not a watch dog.

Zeka didn't respond to allergy meds. We've had him on antibiotics, been giving him medicated baths, food without grains like corn...different stuff.
He was a stray. There is a prison up the road about 12 miles from here, minimum security, the guys are on work crews at times. That is where Zeek came from, the inmates work with dogs through the Humane Society. Well, about a week ago one of the prisoners escaped. They call us, there are signs in the area to not pick up hitch hikers, I lock my doors at night. They caught the guy yesterday by the school, which is on the highway, about 20 miles from the prison, about 5 miles from here. He might have been in the woods the whole time, five or six days.
