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 !

TY Blondee, just checked facebook and her momma posted she made it through first surgery fine but needs prayer for pain management. Poor thing I'm sure they can't give her much for pain as just a newborn. But she is doing well, wants to eat but they can't let her as of yet.. And momma wants to hold her and feed her so hopefully soon.
Aww, such a hard situation to go through. Hope it is over soon and I can just imagine what they are all going through. shame.hug

Just went to check it out. Looks like I'll be getting another 2 months of a free music download a day. Dang. Of course there's always the possibility of getting airfare and tickets to a concert I don't want to see or pay taxes on.

For music buffs it looks great. For me, not so much. I'll see what the weekly prizes are, but truthfully, I have no use for vinyl records or a guitar which are the ones shown in the picture.

It may not be a voting contest but it seems to be a daily entry I won't be making. Maybe there'll be something in the Fall.Smilie



I don't even consider the trip as a possible prize.shake head
Thanks for letting us know, and checking it out Smilie

Your just wayyyy to good to them. I would say enter you own sweeps to win them LOL. You have a big heart. When I was in Calif. last year and entering the sweeps on my netbook my one Niece had the gall to ask me to enter all of them for her each day. AH NOT
sometimes when you do extra stuff for people, it then becomes "expected" of you and just goes unnoticed. When I worked, I would do just one more thing (to try to get a raise) and then that one more task became expected daily and if I did not do it he asked me why not until I was working 9 hrs. per day.

What a wonderfully mean idea. Dang, I wish I could do it. But I'm weak. Plus, I've never emailed one of them about getting a prize or gift card or anything else. I always give things to my sister and she gets to give things to her kids and grandkids. Even though they probably know that most of it is what I won, they're still getting it from her.

I've never given her anything and said "This is for X" or "This is for Y." It's always her decision. And yes, sometimes I've disagreed, but never told her. From the beginning it's been her choice because they're her kids and grandkids. This is the first time it's truly bitten me in the butt. But still, it's her son's family not getting the GC so that she can get another pair of shoes. And truly, I can't begrudge her the new footware. Does she need them? No. Does she want them? Yes. And she's had little enough in her life that she just wants and doesn't need, so I can live with this. I guess. But it always comes down to the same thing -- I HATE SHOES ! ! !



Re-gifting is a goooood thing.laugh out loud
good one "wonderfully mean idea" I have to remember that.

Ooooops. It's just that I'm so accustomed to receiving compliments, I didn't even notice. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

Did you believe that? Did anyone believe that?? Thought not.

Hi again from Aspen! Our time here is winding down...it went sooo fast! We spent three days watching some of the top chefs in the country perform their culinary skills, just like the cooking shows you see on TV. Each day there was a Grand Tasting in an enormous tent with more wine than than you could possibly imagine, food samples from all across the country, and chocolate galore!
David Venable from QVC was super gracious, and we watched his show filmed live yesterday. His entourage was huge. I spent some time chatting with some of his crew by the pool, which was fun. Throughout the years, doing promotions, they found that people were hoping for the cash equivalent of the prize. They included some cash as part of the prize in this, and other recent contests, to cover taxes, to encourage the winner to take the trip.
We went out for dinner last night, and spent a bundle...prices not listed on the menu and everything ala carte. Terrific food, but something we normally would not be able to do.
If anyone wants to throw darts at me, you can check out the picture on David Venable's QVC facebook page.
Next stop: the mile high city, where I get to be a happy camper, thanks to Coleman.
