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 so I am thinking to be safe on my weekly list I should enter on maybe Wednesday? LOL
So glad that Baby Shelby is doing so well! Thank-you for the cute baby pics.
TYVM yes I am happy too can't wait for her to come home. "Along time away from the other children.
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 ! !
As for family reaction, the only reaction I get is "what did ya win, and what are you doing with it?" LMAO

From the responses I've gotten here, I was correct -- my sister's friends are just weird. But, as they say, "Birds of a feather....." Just don't tell my sister I said that ! ! ! As long as my family and I are having fun, that's all that counts.
