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 !

My daughter is doing much better! That was very frightening. My mom is still recovering very slowly, but her Cat scan didn't show any problems so we are hoping it's just taking her longer to recover because she is older. Thank you for asking hug
Thats Great news hug

That's an absolutely wonderful prize. Seems like so many FFers are winning really BIG prizes. This is one prize you can enjoy for a long time.

Thanks to all of of you! Smilie
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!
Smilie
I remember your wish! It was the first thing I thought of when I saw your post that you'd won a trip to CO.
hug

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. Smilie
I'm so very happy for you. Yes, life has been good and I'm back to reading a little (books). Sometimes I feel bad that I don't stop by and stay more often but I'm trying to make myself do other things besides sit at the computer. When I retired I wanted to do some painting (art) but I haven't gotten around to it because I'm at the computer so much, doing contests, playing games, reading emails, etc.

Yes the women's Bacardi shirts have a shorter sleeve and are tapered. We got to pick a size each time we entered. I haven't worn them yet but I will this summer when we're out and about with friends. They'll be my "good" t-shirts. I took a few t-shirts to the consignment shop this spring because my husband and sons didn't want them or they were the wrong size. I just don't need to have them laying around.

Good luck making your trip plans.

K, that's wonderful. Hope they both keeep improving. In the case of your daughter, it makes one wonder what triggered it. I know I'll never put my bare butt on a public seat again.

WOW! Took an hour to dig up 1 evergreen shrub that was dying and plant 1 Rose of Sharon!!!! I got 6 more to go!!!! This is gonna be rough!!!

I never got 1 either!
I'll trade jobs. Only 1/2 done with my car cleaning inside. Vacuumed completely but only cleaned the back end and some windows. Did not start on the seats or dash yet.
Did not get an email and don't think I ever did on the Target bags.
But, good news. H20 wrote me back and gave me the customer service # and I called and they are sending me my prize - a full size Face Oasis Hydrating jar. May be hypoallergic - i hope so. My submission did not go thru but they believed me and apologized.

Yes, an oven would be good.

Have you been enjoying this weather. It's been perfect by my standards. And the hummingbirds have been back for almost two weeks.

Same here. I was surprised they said I'd get one because I just received one not long ago. The little bags are great. I like them better than the ones I get from Estee Lauder, Lacome, and Clinique.
I do love the clinique bags - most of them. Have a whole collection. I did not part with them when I housecleaned and de-hoardered. Smilie

Quote from kvilla :
I didn't get an email about the target bag either, I got a bag yesterday but it was the spring bag (which I had already received) so that surprised me....todays was the summer bag. I love them!
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?
I cannot get my complete zip code to fill in - always leaves out the first "0" and puts in the last 4 numbers no matter how many times I try.
