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 !

All right, people. You laughed when I sat down at the piano, but I played despite that.

No wait. That was another group of people in a different place and time.

Now I remember -- you're the ones that said I was crazy to enter shoe contests for the kids. Well.....

email today:

Congratulations Carol, you've won the SoleProvisionsShop.com August Sweepstakes! We really appreciate your interest in our company and want to get you your gift certificate as soon as possible! In order to do this we need some more information from you. Please respond with your address and phone number and we will send you your prize.

It's for $100. The kids will go crazy. My sister's going to have to do the shopping on line for them, but they'll be thrilled. And she'll have fun spending money that's not hers. Win Win, eh?

And yes, I posted an excited comment on their facebook page. I love doing those. I think most people just take the money and run. I always post and thank the OP THEN come speeding over here to tell you. Persistence. That's what FFers have.
congrats.. that leaves how many more pair do you need to win to fulfill your shoe request?

It's been a while since I posted, and since this is the last week of the current Marlboro promotion I decided it was time to post. So here's a mishmash of things that all could have had a separate posting at some point.

Concerning projects to restore or improve the environment. This has been a hard year on me, the weather was too hot or too wet for much of what I wanted to get done. I am also getting a bit older and it is sometimes difficult to do what I did a few years ago. Essentially all I got done was grow around a hundred tomato plants. Oh and an acre or two of hay with lots of clover in it! Dale got 7 big round bales on the first cutting. A great yield for about 2 acres.

Dale also did a few things for the environment, lol. He had his new wife canning tomatoes till she was seeing red. You see at my suggestion he also put in a large tomato patch and then she had theirs and mine to use for canning. He also cleared a bunch of acreage of scrub oak and similar trees that have overgrown the pastures on several farms near where he lives. The area was once called the "Tall Grass Prairie" and had very few trees. They are turning as much as they can back into native pasture. This year we have had regular sightings of Bear, Cougar, wolf and coyote, and of course Deer, in the woodlands surrounding the pastures.

Neither Dale nor I won one of the grand prises. I would be interested in seeing or hearing about the restoration and environmental projects the winners of the money started or did with the extra help from Marlboro.

My living room furniture consists mostly of an old sofa and matching wing-back easy chair, a large pellet stove, a couple of old trunks that I use as tables and a 60" plasma and two old dogs. Well last winter I kinda got the sofa on fire....thankfully saw the smoke and put it out. Left a hole that has mostly been well covered by a sofa throw cover I got for the thing. Dale looks at the sofa kinda suspiciously when he's visiting. Lately he's been grabbing a kitchen chair to sit on. Last week I had a visit from an local fella, a friend that has been mourning his wife. She died in a car accident last Spring. Well Robbie is a rotund fella. I suspect a good 400 pounds. He sat in my easy chair and I be darned if the thing didn't collapse under him. Not all the way to the floor, just sorta leaned and listed badly to one side.

I told my sister about the sofa and chair situation. She is younger than me but has always seemed to have my back when needed. She was aghast at the sofa and chair situation. Actually scolded me! I told her, Gee what's a bachelor to do? But that excuse, being lame as ever, didn't cut any ice with her. Today she told me she had bought two Stickley designed Morris style chairs for me. Each with ottoman. I went to the Stickley site to see what the chairs looked like. While there I spied a contest which I will post below. I told Dale he needs to come her and assist me in getting the sofa and chair to the burn pile. I suggest he also bring his wife and some marshmallows. I didn't tell him I have another 10 gallons of fresh tomatoes that need canning....which I will pass on to his wife.

I used to play Macy's but now, and I asked a few times before, when I click on the site, it brings up a big red screen asking me to scan into my phone (I have a stupid phone) my red card. It used to bring up a form and some others won on that. Do you have the correct site that I can enter again, p l e a s e.!!

Hi Sprok, Boy, It sounded like the last day of Cheers had pink boxes flying all over the place. Dang, I missed it
I saw most of them and all were taken. So you did not miss much. I do not think anyone got anything that day. Could be wrong.

I just won it this past Monday 8/29..................I love Marlboro,,,"But' they could learn somethings from other companys, like having inventory of prizes ,and pompt shipping times.... rather then the standard 18 week ship dates or "we didn't
expect that many winners to pick that prize so its Backordered for half a year, and they could save money on
trinkets they send out as a temporary fix.
I called them today to reverify that yes the $1,000 have all been sent out up to date, they go overnite the Wednesday after the week, so we only have this week to hope for (next Wednesday). I just cannot believe that none of us one even once.
