RETIRED: Marlboro Outwit the West Funny Farm

Ok, this is the first day I received anything substantial at my new place. In the mail I got my Burberry perfume (which I like) and my get Kinky bracelet. Then UPS just dropped off my hair dryer from suave! So I can do my hair, smell nummy, and go out to get kinky! Could be a long weekend!

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.

Congrat's....was any of it melted?What part of the US are you in?

I always get coupons for full size product,, never got in on the iron or dryer, well at least I never got one in the mail. I'd like to slap that happy guy !

this was a face book Perfume giveaway.. not suave.. did ya get one for Mrs Sprok?.. it actually smells decent.. a nice fall scent.

Surprisingly not melted. The gift basket was all wrapped up in a somewhat rigid silver bubble wrap with two refrigerant gel packs inside which seemed to have mostly lost their chill.
I live in North Carolina and it was pretty warm today so I suspect if it had sat in the sun on the front porch for a while it would have been a different story but I was home when they dropped it off.

Why yes, I did. Contrary to popular belief I'm not heartless
