RETIRED Marlboro Outwit the West Funny Farm

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 !

Oh MY!! Congrats Lisa! I too was wishing to win this one but I am so glad you did. I hope you do get to see your family there.
CONGRATS
ENJOY
Congrats !!!
Wow Lisa! What a big win, congratulations! Awesome they are providing $ for taxes!
Now for some of the logistics which are always complicated by living in such a remote place. I have a dentist appointment in town tomorrow and will take my papers in to be notarized and faxed in. I'm hoping they will work with me on the flight schedule, so I can spend a little time with both my sisters and brother. My dad and his wife will be off visiting her family.
I'm so excited...hubby and I haven't taken a vacation together in a long time...
This was my Round 2 wish in the Birthday Wish Contest...
ANNIVERSA-REUNION
In 1992, my new boyfriend was driving me to the airport, so I could attend my 20th high school reunion. On the way, I remarked, "I wish you could go with me!" We drove right past the airport, and headed for Denver. It was the most spontaneous thing I'd ever done in my life! This summer will be our 20th anniversary. It would be awesome to celebrate, by repeating this trip together, and go to my 40th high school reunion. We'll be knocking on some doors, since we're long overdue for visits with both our families. Grant me this wish for a rambling road trip to colorful Colorado!
I'm not going to make it to my high school reunion, but it looks like the rest of my wish is going to come true!
Just got a phone call from Promotion Mechanics informing me that I'm the Grand Prize winner of the HomeFurnishings.com "Inspired Living Begins Here" Sweepstakes.
"GRAND PRIZE: The Grand Prize winner will receive a $5,000 Home Furnishings Shopping Spree, awarded in the form of a $5,000 credit at the participating HomeFurnishings.com furniture retailer of winner's choice."
Target bag
I know there have been lots of winners over the last few weeks. Congrats to you all.
Hub went back to work today after a 5-week layoff. I was just getting used to him being around all the time, but it was a lot of togetherness. We've been planting lots of flowers and a few vegies, and doing stuff around the house. Went to Chicago for Mother's Day weekend and am hoping to see the grandkids in Des Moines soon.
I haven't been in a lucky streak (astrologically speaking) but I did win a $10 Amazon code for free music from the Visa game. I also got my $15 Macy's card and $10 Home Depot card from Total Rewards. Also won the $20 Best Buy prize from them and have one slot to fill on my game board. I would love to go to Vegas some day.
Yesterday, my husband got a $10 Visa card from P&G promo at our local HyVee. He bought a bunch of Tide, which was on sale (plus coupons).
Awhile back I received my 2 women's Bacardi shirts, which I like a lot--nice fit. I gave one of the men's style to my youngest son and kept the other. I also received a cute makeup bag from Target with goodies in it--like last year. I love their makeup bags--perfect size for me.
Husband got $50 bogus bucks to spend on company's employee sale, where particular items are marked down 70%. He told me to get whatever I wanted and threw in $100 more funny money he had left after getting a small air conditioner for one of the bedrooms upstairs. I really wanted some new Skecher sneakers, but my size was sold out. I picked out some Paula Deen Pie Crust Cutters, a couple candle lanterns, a Garden Blooms Velvet ottoman, and a hand-painted leather purse. This came to less than $100 bogus bucks and I still have funny money left.
My trying to diet hasn't been overly successful but I know I lost at least 2 pounds. Well, that was before I had that big bowl of Blue Bunny chocolate ice cream last night. Now I can zip up my shorts, or at least I could yesterday.
I haven't been very consistent with entering contests except Total Rewards, but I get over to Wilton everyday and never know who'll be in first place.
Continue winning. You're doing great.
You'll probably do more contests now that hubby is back to work, but you can't beat time spent together.
I didn't know there were women's Bacardi shirts. Nice that you poke your head in now and then.

Today I was driving to WOK and called home on my cell phone because I had forgotten something. I got a busy signal, so I called back ten minutes later. Hubby said he was on the phone with a man from New York who called to tell me I won the Road to Aspen Sweepstakes.
I just got home. This is my e-mail:
Dear Lisa,

OMG...I am flabbergasted and shakin' in my boots! I had just mentioned to hubby a couple days ago that this would be a fun prize to win. Most of my family still lives in Denver, so I may get to see them too! I can't remember which of my facebook friends first sent me the link to this contest, but a number of us have been sending it back and forth in the last few weeks. Thank you for sharing...and I wanted to share this with my FF friends.

Is anyone else having a hard time playing the Wendys sides contest? It only let me play once and every since the pictures just keep scroling and nothing ever happens?
