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 !

He did a lot of checking on it.....cause he sure didn't want to turn it down....
They told him his checks would be cut off , down the road he could reapply, but no guarantees. He didn't take the chance....

He's quit entering the contests, cause he probably isn't supposed to win anything...seems to be different than regular SS.
If he spends the money right away it wont be as long as its not frivolous. a prize thats not cash doesnt affect it. Who ever told him that was mistaken. Its only counted against him if its in the bank unless they think he pulled it out of the bank to hide it. He might be on a different thing than I am. I have disability from a back injury when I was a kid and just thought everyone hurt all the time and suffered through it for years making it worse

Got a call from the sleep clinic I went to last week. Said I fell asleep within 10 minutes, Thought it took 4 hours!!! Guess I was dreaming about laying there trying to go to sleep!! LOL They said I wok up on average 30 times and stopped breathing on average 75 times an hour!!! My blood oxygen levels dropped to 84% which they usually give O2 at 90%!!! Very scary!! I was almost too scared to go to sleep last night!!! Theres a new cure that my dad did for sleep apnea where they put tiny pins in the soft palate and it tightens it up and most of the time it cures it!! Didnt even know I had it. Just thought I was having trouble staying asleep! Havent had a good nights sleep in over 25 years!
I love my new DR!!! They are fixing things I didnt even know was wrong. In order to heal you need to sleep good. Thats when the body repairs itself, not to mention the dreams are a great way to release the days stress! Yeah.... thats it!!! Release stress!!!

I didnt know what to do with the gps I won from Colace and asked my son to sell it for me but it was his birthday and he said he wnted it so that was his present. He loves it says it tells him when the lights are about to change and if hes speeding!!!. He works building sunrooms and they just give him the address of his next job so it will come in handy!!!
thanks
I like my gps too when it is set right. I think some brands are much better than others. Also, wanna know what little gremlin set mine to "avoid freeway"...OMG

He made phone calls and was told if he accepted it, his checks would be cut off. That's all I know. Everyone would have to make the decision for themselves. I think he did what was right for his situation according to what he was told.


Quote from cwhetme :
He could have. It wouldnt have affected his SS. Im on it and if its a prize they dont count it against you. If its cash it has to be spent that month but reported and report that its gone. Thats why I cant win a big sum cause i would have to spend it in one month which I would pay the taxes on it and buy a big money item like a house or car! Even on the taxes, save receipts for lottery tickets. One of my sisters customers won big and has Libby save lottery tickets cause she counts the cash value of what it costs for the tickets. If she can show how much she spends on tickets to get that win it offsets the taxes. Wonder if we can take the cost of our internet service off cause we use it to win prizes??? Very possible.
This is according to the rules on SSI page
11) WINFALL. Now, this particular point really applies more to Supplemental Security Income. A WINFALL is when you get a big lump sum of money unexpectantly. This money could be an inheritance, a settlement, or even the lottery. Now, you're sitting there with a monthly check and a big sum of money and you're thinking, BOOM, I'll just live on my monthly SSI check and ride out with my money in the bank. Unless you have your LUMP SUM of money in some type of special needs trust, that money will be counted against your SSI. What does that mean? THis means until you spend the money down to a particular amount, SSI won't pay you a DIME!
I know several of us are on SSi so I hope this info is helpful

Might have tried setting it to avoid toll roads and missed??? LOL First time I got dirrections from google to go to Colub=mbia it was written so wierd. Said to turn right and got 1/8th mile from us 65 to I- 5!!! They counted the off ramp!!! Had 27 steps on how to get there but only 3 roads!!! LOL. I had to print it , copy to the PC edit out the stupid steps and reprint it or my sister would have spent hours trying to figure out how to get there!! LOL

Every time I call SSI office I get a different response depending on who I talk to. Dont think they even know. I was told I couldnt claim my rent I pay and I was going to jail for it. Its a Missouri tax thing that I get 20% of my rent back up to $750!!! They called their supervisor over to tell me it was illegal and the supervisor backed me up!! I checked with the manual!! Never trust a person cause how can they know every single rule. Poor guy apologized to me and said he went to college but knew nothing about the actual laws. He just filled in forms and did what the computer told him.

Off hand I can't remember how much it makes ??? I usually work off of that and add to it. Last time I made it was over a year ago, and my son filled plastic water bottles up and took it all with him back to school laugh out loud In the fridge it should keep a few months. Keep stirring ! and taste it when almost done. You could always add x-tra whatever to it to suit your taste. I've used my own hot and bell peppers, tomatoes... dice fine ! Even fruit, apple/applesauce, banana, pineapple, cheeries,, whatever tickles your fancy. If you don't dice really fine and if ya want a really smooth sauce run it thru a blender for a bit when it's done.

When you go in the store to buy cigarettes sometimes they have it as a special. I think some states have made that eligal now though. We had a vote yesterday and now we can smoke in smoke shops and some bars as long as its posted it is NOT a smoke free facility!!! Yeah for us!!!Alot of restaurants closed because of this. People wanted to just take it home and eat because they couldnt smoke at a sports bar!!! and not too many non smokers were going in. They even had it to where you couldnt use a prop cigarette in a play!!! Thats allowed again! and now you can snus wherever you want and the electronic cigarettes are ok again!! Cant beleive they even banned those just cause they looked like cigarettes!!! Thats what happens when you go to far! People get pi$$ed and fight back!
Not over here. They just seem to do whatever they say and not just cigarettes. They do not stand up for themselves.
