RETIRED: Marlboro Outwit the West Funny Farm

228 92 October 16, 2010 at 01:35 PM
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 !

So the thing with my Parking Lights not going off. SIL gets here this morning with Belle and he goes down to look at my car hooks the battery back up and yep lights are still on so he show me how to pull the fuse for it and they go off. So he leaves and I go on line and type what is going on and a whole page of different Subaru owner have the same question and they all got the same answer. There is a dang separate switch on top of the steering column behind the steering wheel. When I was washing the steering column I must have hit it. Went and clicked it put the fuse back in and lights are off. LOL easy fix and no one could figure it out. Thank you internet.

do they have a separate Internet for blondes

I won a t-shirt from Dole too. I went to their facebook wall and saw that Gary S was also a weekly winner and wondered if it was you...Congrats!
I'm going to join dmhaugland and open a t-shirt shop.
I was also surprised that I won the weekly prize from Deerso...a Westinghouse bug whacker. I have been entering every day, even though I wasn't able to find in the rules if that was OK. Guess it was!

Yes I did LOL but didn't know it. Didn't even know that switch was there.
I've been driving Subarus since 1984 and I did the same thing a few years ago and couldn't figure out how to turn them off, didn't know how they came on. Those lights are there for marker lights when you're parked on a city street. They're used in Europe, where the streets are so small, there is not much room for parking. People leave those lights on for short periods at night, so their precariously parked cars are visible.
Thumbup for figuring it out!

Oh, won $50 for google play on Windows contest (think you can buy apps for your devices with it), haven't received redemption email yet. Happy to have it but was hoping for a phone, kinda putting the cart before the horse as my current phone doesn't do apps. But daughter can use it. https://windowsphone.promo.eprize...firefox11/

Not too bad yesterday, got my Zippo (only win from there) and one of the Stella Artois challices (very nice), a $25 instant win from C ( I am in 277th place in the race-it's impossible!), and my coupon for a free Coffee Mate creamer. Still no Bacardi Tees ( I won 3 and haven't received any yet). Thanks for the links Jelee, Morning Dabs. Going to find some more good stuff BBL.
Great mail day, congrats! Smilie

Thanks Sly Smilie You've had some nice wins too, congrats!

One reason I haven't been on much is that my mom is very ill. What started out in Jan as "bad numbers" on a regular check up turned into a failing kidney with a possible tumor blocking it. Finally they know that the tumor is in the ureter and is malignant. She is scheduled for surgery this Thursday in the Woodlands (near Houston) and will have the kidney and tumor removed. I am very worried, the cancer is said to look "angry". I am praying the cancer is contained inside the ureter and has not spread, your prayers would be very appreciated. Thank you!
You and your mom will be in my prayers Krista. I hope you're close enough that you'll be able to go see her while she's in the hospital. hug
I'm also happy to hear you got your Birchbox prizes!

Quote from num1bob :
About a week ago I received my Wonka skateboard from the Freeride sweeps. When I opened the box it was not the design I signed off on but a design that I had been playing around with on the computer. Also noticed the design was a big sticker and that the edges were peeling back on it and you could see a different design underneath that was all sanded down. So I emailed them and they checked the confirmation email and said I got the wrong board and they were going to send out the correct design. (The Wonka Design) not only did I receive the new board today with a painted bottom but it also had a serial number on it. Much nicer then the sticker design and they told me I could keep the first one for my troubles. 2 for 1 you know the squeaky wheel always gets the oil. Not sure if anyone else is designing a board but I think a week or so ago, somebody and I can't remember who asked a question about design. I would be careful of the home made design it may not fit correctly on the board after they cut it to size. Just some friendly info if someone can use it. Cheers
It was me asking about the designing of the Wonka board. My son has been playing email tag with them about the design, it finally "went through" okay...so, we'll see. Glad to know they will fix their mistakes. Thanks!

This might be old news but I was over at Stadium Jerky on FB and saw where Gary and Lisa Ward were listed as winners. Might have been others, too.
Yup, that is our Gary. Smilie
