RETIRED Marlboro Outwit the West Funny Farm

At least it was good to visit with your sister. Bet the kids are gonna miss her

Oh it was great what I would do is when she went to sleep I would stay up and enter all my sweeps at night till real late and still get up with her in the morning so was not getting sleep. My grandkids fell in love with her ecpecially Belle cuz I still watched her the first week Jeanie was here. The Minute Jeanie left yesterday I had that sick homesick feeling missing her right away took all day to get rid of that missing feeling. But we had such a great time and now she is thinking coming back in May when my Niece from Calif. that has been going to college in Minneapolis graduates. She just happens to be Jeanies God Daughter.

OMG!!! Criss Rock is on Comedy Central!!! Hes got a lot of new funny stuff!!!


That will be fun and wont be as hot!

Hi, all. I've been checking in periodically but not stopping to comment much. Congratulations on all the fun wins, by the way and I sure hope that you do get that camera, Ms. Blondette. After all, it looks like popps won't be snagging the Vespa because of the dq so you deserve a consolation prize.

VERY glad to hear how much better Shelby is doing, Jules. Here's hoping that all her problems will just be a distant memory in a few months.


My time lately has been taken up by visits to veterinarians. First Miss Kitty, my 17 year old beauty, developed another urinary tract infection. Got that cleared up and then she started having breathing problems. My regular vet thought it was another polyp in one of her nasal passages but couldn't find anything on the x-ray. He sent me to a specialist who unfortunately diagnosed the problem – cancer of the larynx. I'm dosing her with steroids in hopes of reducing the size of the tumor, but haven't seen any improvement so it doesn't seem to be working.

I know – she's seventeen – but I expect my cats to live until the ripe old age of 20, plus this illness just showed up "out of the blue." No warnings, no slow development, it's just there. And yes, my heart is breaking, but I've lost cats before and I can deal with it. Eventually.


You remember the $50 worth of pork I won last Saturday? The coupons showed up yesterday – FedEx'ed – and I gave them to my sister this morning when she came to visit. She was upset because they specified "fresh" pork and she doesn't want to cook it. I suggested she give it to her son-in-law who is his family's cook, let him prepare it and give her half. That would be a win-win for each of them, right? There was a certain gleam in her eye as she pondered the possibility. We'll see what she does but the coupons don't expire until the end of the year, so she'll have until then to figure out how she can get to keep it all.

Oh, and I have to tell you about her friends' reactions to all the stuff I give her. They're worried that I am somehow being scammed. I must be paying a lot of money to "win" these prizes and they think she should intervene before I lose all my savings. I gather they comment, "That's a shame" and "Oh, my" a lot. She keeps telling them that I'm not paying anybody anything to get the prizes; that companies just give the things away as advertisements, but people just don't believe her. None of my friends have ever questioned the way I grab all these goodies, but they know me and know I'd never "pay to win". She says she keeps telling them that it's not a problem, but they keep telling her I'll be broke before the year is out and she ought to do something. Have any of you ever gotten that reaction?

Well, time to let you get back to your real lives. So, until my next twelve page dissertation, win big ! !

HOT? We had mostly rain and the floods while she was here. Now this next week will be beautiful! Figures. And this damn cold I hope she didn't take home with her. Been over a week now and I swear I am going to cough up a Lung.

Sorry about your kitty. Its always sad when they get to that stage in life.
Ive had a couple of people worried that Im giving info to scammers. Havent so far... that I know of. I only enter known companys and make sure who is running it


Its been miserable here!!! No rain and only a hot wind!..... That reminds me...... I forgot to turn off the sprinkler!!! I might have a flood here too!!!

OOPS forgot Baby Shelby Pic:

We would normally be able to swim this time of year but weird weather. Didn't you see the floods here? Made national news. Well Duluth MN did not us LOL we are just little Superior over the bridge that flooded too.

Yeah, but I thought it was a hot flood!!! Newsman was saying if its this hot for May and June how hot should it be in July and August!!!! Now thats scary to hear from the one thats supposed to be giving the weather if he's freaking out already!!!

Also yes most people I talk to don't understand at all what we do. The family and close friends say "Teach me how to do that" but don't want to listen what you say and how. We are a RARE group and we ROCK LOL especially for the family and friends that get the goods.

Have a probably dumb question but all my tool bars disappeared. If I bring the mouse to the top of the page the main bar that you enter addresses in shows up as long as the mouse is there but leaves when you move the mouse but none of the rest of the tool bars are there. I know it is probably a easy fix but duh me doesn't know what to click to get all to come back.
