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 !

Okay everyone with a Netbook just talked to a very nice man from Samsung. You have to fully let your netbook discharge each month and charge it again. Mine is down because it sat in my case and I never did anything for months with it. The battery has a memory and you have to teach it. Mine was taught to be dead I guess LOL. He did tell me how I may be able to get some more memory back into it so I am going to try that. First thing I had to do was take it out of the 80% mode some of us put it in. I did that now he want me to let it die completely and then let it charge for 10 to 12 hours and then do it again to see if we can reteach the battery. Very nice man and gave me a transaction code to call him back. Other wise battery is tits up LOL.
I am putting my one as we speak. It is about 3 months it has been off and it will have all these updates I am sure.

Hope he does not think we are all going there. He could be out there spending all kinds of money thinking he is sitting on a goldmine. Wonder what he thought if he checked that I am in NJ. You tried. Funny.

I called there today and told him what we did
I did tell him none of you are from here and wont be showing up

he said he was surprised and shocked when he logged on this morning

Are you getting extras too. More then you won?
I never counted how many I won. I figured that if they showed up, I was ahead of where I was the day before. If they didn't, hey, it's just a candy coupon.

And I also won one of those neat coolers on wheels which they never said I got. I always checked the you won message and all I ever won were the coupons. Out of the blue, the cooler showed up. And no, I never even considered sending it back with an "I think you made a mistake" note. I may be silly, but I'm not crazy.

On nice wins I always take screen shots and track them. But for little ones, not worth the grief.

LMAO I know right, you read as much as you think you need to know, and then DUH guess you should have read more. LOL

This would be cool if what he told me works, It won't give me full battery but boost it some if it does.
Jules, I turned it on and it is down to 0% but my Norton expired. So, if I shut it down will it charge itself even if it is off? I have to go to Staples soon and get a new one. On the left corner, does anyone know please - where all the little blue lights are--there are 3 blue lights lit and one red in this order from left to right: blue, blue, red and blue. I forget now. there are little pics above them the one on the left is a round barrel sort of, then a funnel an the red one has an arrow circle and plus and minus. I don't want to hurt it. Is it exposed to viruses as long as I have it on? it is, right.

Oh I forgot. Got the pate coupon and used that today. Old cat is on special food from the vet but she loves it as I put a little tiny piece on top of that each day. Made her happy.
That cracked me up. We do coddle them, don't we?

Right now, my 17 year old is asleep on the pillow my mother crocheted for her and which I keep next to the computer -- her favorite spot when I'm on-line. Her head is on my left arm which makes typing a wee bit difficult, but naturally I refuse to make her move. Eventually my arm will "fall asleep" so I'll have to nudge her off and flail the appendage around until it stops with the "pins and needles" but until then.....sleep on, Miss Kitty.

LOL I guess in the contests I have gotten crazy with the Screen shots and took one of all the M&Ms and I had 17 and I got 17 enevelopes. LOL and this week got 2 more like alot of others. Maybe all the wins were not used so they sent a couple others to all the winners? I don't know LOL who cares we got more!!!!!

You have to be careful of spaces before and after the code when copying and pasting or it will say that.
