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 !

If someone texts you on your phone, but you don't read it, do you still get charged.....since a lot of these contests want a mobile no.
I give them my landline number -- let them text their hearts out and it won't cost me a cent. Plus the ringer is off on that line so I never know anybody is even trying. I figure that as long as I move the handset around every few days, it's mobile. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

I had thought FB was a relatively safe place to enter contests but got curious about it from something Kim Komando wrote, so I did some searching. I was prompted by the fact that many have been having computer issues over the last several months. Here is one article. If interested, you can search further for info on this topic. I know I'm going to be a little more careful in the future.

I never put info on anything that cant be found in the local phone book and if something feels hookie I back out immediately. I only enter sweeps from brand names I trust and always read the sweeps rules to make sure its legit. Thanks for posting this. There are some bad stuff going around. If someone steals my info for identity theft they wont get far!!! Sons ex already beat them to it!!!! NEVER keep your ID in your checkbook!!!! She wrote the DL# on the checks so they wouldnt have to!! Passed 37 checks and no one questioned her!!! And dont keep your SS # in your wallet either!

Rules and Camel.....I do not think these 2 things go together well.
LMAO Did you read the disclaimer they made you agree to before you played the game??? LMAO

According to my father, the greatest invention was radio. Everything else came from that - TV, computers, etc. Who knows? I do know my grandmother HATED the wringer washer but it was such an improvement over NO washer that she lived with it.

I felt no guilt dumping the old computer I had. It would have been nice if I could have babied it along until the next generation came on the market, but by the time the bugs are worked out, I'd only have been able to load one web page an hour. I'll take soon-to-be-obsolete over non-working any day. bounce
Yeah, its gonna take a couple of years before its all smoothed out and the price comes down enough to make a purchase. You did the right thing. Son just bought one to play video games and he says they are already putting out some good ones. He gives it 5 years before he can buy the one he wants so he went ahead and bought this one since it will last at least that long

I still think they will pull like they do walking on the leash - they are used to running free in the yard and barking out the windows. I think I will wait until petsmart gets more things in and try some out. they are really nervous little dogs who go back and forth across the back seat if it is just for a short ride. They fall asleep for the long rides.
I cleared my internet browser, did a scan and shut down and now it is working. Hope it will be ok. Always something. wave Edit - just came back to ask were you updating your page? could this be what happened to me. Whoever taught me to Edit my posts should be shot, right?
Hope I didnt teach you!!! laugh out loud It shouldnt matter when I update. You should be able to see it as I do it! I can even type stuff and you will see each letter appear!! Like magic!!! LOL I had to sign out and sign back in. I could see it and click on the links but it wouldnt let me edit. Might just be something with google

I dont know I didnt read it. Figured Camel wouldnt obey it anyway! Something about obeying the rules of the game and maybe something about not complaining???? Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)
It kinda said "Bla, Bla, Bla....."

Yesterday Firefox wanted to do an update. I tried to and Norton said to me that it has not been tried and true and is only out a short time and it would not allow it. So be it. Then this morning Firefox said wait...it has to do something to make me run. So they are doing something on their site. brb

I do not have the patience for Camel tonight. I just want to do some iw's and sweeps I missed tonight so maybe tomorrow. I am not doing my housework properly again so that is not good.
Your list is ok now. Got scared there for a minute. One thing did change on firefox - as I scroll now thru our posts it is scrolling smooth and responding much better than it ever did. So they did do something.
I am getting really tired and it is early for me. Just burned myself out again. Maybe I will do some iw's and see you tomorrow. Good night.

I got mine new off Ebay...quite reasonable..xs p to xl I believe.

The lead is adjustable , you really don't have to have it any longer that what is needed for the dog to be in a sitting position. They shouldn't be able to move around a lot....just like a child in a car seat. Keeps them safe.

With small dogs you should be able to have them pretty well contained to one spot....and they wouldn't reach each other.
I cannot contain these brats. They are so cute and smart and spoiled. They will be so upset.

I just came back to ask you - when something stops working on ff here i either write down the link or if a facebook game, go to the Explorer and Facebook and find that page and bookmark it there. Not too many. but, if I ever do need to get your list from here (ff) over to my Explorer, how would i do it? I don't want to import or something as I do not know how to do that. If you have a chance, maybe you can tell me. If not, it is ok. sorry. really, good nite. wave

Sent the link to you in an email so you can always have it..... unless you delete the email! Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)
Dont know if its just google but if I open a new tab thee is a row of options like sticky notes and you tube and google search and at the far left is one called google docs. If you click on that it will take you to all the google docs you use. It will list them. Just choose the sweeps one. Not sure ifthis is just a google chrome thing or if the others have it too

That was low of your ex DIL.

It's amazing some of the things that you have lived through to tell about.

I'm not sure I even know where my SS card is. I'll have to look for it tomorrow. I know it's not in my wallet, although my husband was carrying his around until just recently.

Going to bed now. Good night.
