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 !

Thanks. I got 27 results!!!! Finally found the right one on the 5th try!! LMAO
Just checked my email to see if I won anything. No. but, I see that I can learn chinese in 10 days, I am entitled to a free motored scooter (no f$$$ing way) and now there is Administrative Professionals Day - I have been out of the work-force too long - I only knew of National Secretary's and Boss's Days. See how much I can learn from the internet in 3 minutes? LMAO
One thing today made me feel really good. Dropped some stuff off at my grandson's place and the new neighbors who I met on Easter keep insisting I am his mother and cannot be his grandmother and I am trying to fool them. They came out (highlight of their day I guess) to again say hello to his "mom". Called her daughter out and said his mom is here again. How are you she asked. I was going to start my story about how I fell but just said I am fine... bla bla.

Don't really know what went wrong. It just stopped printing in black. At first I thought it might have needed a new ink cartridge which is why the black one is new but opened. Perhaps the printhead failed? Dunno.

Though I usually think product replacement insurance is a total waste of money I bought it anyway since the printer was mostly free. So when it messed up I just went to the Performance Protection Plan website and filed a clam. They immediately emailed a link to a prepaid UPS return label and I shipped the printer to them the next day. Went two weeks without a printer but they sent me a gift card for the full original purchase price. Replace it with an Epson 645. Kinda a PITA to ship the thing and then wait two weeks for the payment but it all worked out.
That is great. My printhead went on my last HP about 2 months after the warranty that I took out and it would have been just as much to fix it with replacing the heads than to get a new one. they make the printheads to wear out to keep us buying I think. I lucked out and don't know why they did it. Motorola gave me a courtesy free replacement (it is refurbished it says) on my blue tooth ear bud which I had for about 2 1/2 years for my stupid phone. Came yesterday and a much better model than I had. Tells me verbally how much of a charge I have in it. the old one I could hear but no one could hear me.

I cleaned mine first but it did not help at all.

I got 7 so i put 7 and entered. I have about 2 more hours upstairs and then I am done up there finally so I will be gone after this post.
But, I see quite a few games want me to "pin" something on their pineterest or whatever it is in order to play. Do you know anything about this new system? I hope they are all not going to be like that. I will never figure it out unless I drive all of the ffarmers nuts. I will surely be barred off here.nod wave bbl

Not that it matters but I don't recall ever seeing a clause like this in sweepstakes rules:

"Any person who has been convicted in a court of law or entered a plea of guilty or no contest to any felony or any crime involving moral turpitude, dishonesty or theft, or who has been convicted in a court of law or entered a plea of guilty or no contest to Driving While Intoxicated or Driving Under The Influence within the 10-year period prior to April 12, 2012 will not be eligible to enter or win a prize."
