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 !

1 tablespoon+ vanilla

2 Cups shredded squeezed packed zucchinni
1 Cup packed shredded apple

Wondered where you were. 2 of my air conditioners broke and another on the way. The heat is absolutely making me nuts. Big Grin Not enjoyable at all to go outside to water, weeds are again flourishing, etc. So replaced my bedroom air which was a huge built-in unit with a free-standing unit which had to be incorporated into the sliding doors as I have no windows in my room up there. So, had to partially redo my bedroom again. didn't I just do that? yes. when i moved the monster old tv up there. and it was sooo hot up there working. don't know how Sam and grandson work 8 hrs plus in this heat. feel bad for them.

I can't imagine what it would be like to be an outside worker in this heat. I hate just going out to water the tomotoes and flowers. Our house isn't really air conditioned. We have two 500 btu ones, one in each of two rooms upstairs. I haven't had them both running at the same time for fear I'd blow a fuse. When I'm sitting at the computer downstairs, I just direct a fan at me, so it is bearable most of the time, but the heat has cut down on how much time I want to sit there.

I was starting to feel like the contests and games I play were a job, so I cut back. We've been to Des Moines the weekend before the 4th, watched our granddog the following week, and the kids from Chicago were here last weekend. Their son is almost 8 months old now. He's a good little fellow.

Found out this past weekend that a woman I worked closely with on several projects has a primary cancerous brain tumor. Seems to be a lot of that around here. Makes you wonder about all the chemicals farmers use. I know they can't drink their water.

LOL@Granddog. Sorry about yer co-worker, Two years ago I had a friend back in your part of the country who found out he had 2 cancerous brain tumors, The Drs. removed them but not completely. He only made it 6 months.

Hi Everyone. I'm just stopping by to say hello and tell you I'm looking forward to winter. Can't ever remember a summer as hot as this. Even my husband is sleeping in the room with the air conditioner. Too hot to eat much so I finally lost that 5 pounds and am trying to lose another 5. Too hot to smoke so I haven't had one in over 48 hours.

Have only been entering a few contests. Enjoying the Marlboro music codes. Been reading The Help in the cool room.

Hope you are all winning.
Good to see ya Wish Smilie Try to stay cool, I know it has been tough this summer nod At least the not smoking thing is good Smilie

Good to see you Wish! Yes it is hot! But kudos for losing weight! Just watched The Help the second time the other night, obviously I liked it, bet the book is good. Books are always better. I haven't used the music codes yet, not quite sure how to use them, just got a droid phone, gotta figure out how to put and play music on it. Always something new to learn....

Quote from popp :
Good Morning Peeps


For centuries, Hindu women have worn a dot on their foreheads. Most of us
have naively thought this was connected with tradition or religion, but the
Indian embassy in Ottawa has recently revealed the true story.
When a Hindu woman gets married, she brings a dowry into the union.
On her wedding night, the husband scratches off the dot to see whether
he has won a convenience store, a gas station, a donut shop, a taxi cab,
or a motel in the United States.
If nothing is there, he must remain in India to answer telephones and
provide us with technical advice
LMAO Good one!

I sure hope the whole summer isn't like this. My sinuses have been bothering me a lot, so maybe a break from smoking will do some good. Can hardly believe I'm not climbing the walls. Timing must be right.

How's your new burn barrell doing?
