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 !

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....
Congrats to you and all the other winners. Gotta play to win.

I saw The Help, too. Would have rather read the book first. It's a good read. I get most of my books from the library, which is just a few blocks away. I did order one yesterday from Amazon that the author Ryan Winfield is promoting on FB. The reviews are good.

Just love getting the music codes from Marlboro. I downloaded a bunch of songs by Jason Mzar. I'd never heard of him before but I love his stuff.

LMAO Too dingdang hot to climb the walls!! I hope not also, but don't look like an end in site so far, Tomorrow it is suppose to cool off to 90 .omg:
That burn barrel is doing just fine, except its too hot to use it much!!
Whenever rain looks like it coming our way, it moves north or south of us, so it's really dry here. Scattered storms in the forecast.

You'll have a chance to use your burn barrel soon enough.

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 Dabbs. Our Granddog is a puggle. She's really a good dog around the grandkids.

I really think all those chemicasl the farmers use causes a lot of the cancer they get. The rest of us are subjected to the second-hand effects. Smoking is probably better for you than sniffing the air out there when they are treating their crops. Forget about drinking the water.

Just checked the camel gifts, yuk! Hope what's inside looks better than the packaging!!! IAs of last nite I had all the pretty gifts selected...only one of those remained. How can a package look like a football when that's not one of the listed gifts? Confused

I never realized that! You would think a farm would be a healthy place to live! Really am sorry to hear of your co-worker, that is very sad.

I got my camera today also. Now what do we do with it?
congrats on the check and towel.


thanks
Dont point it at anything they can call the police on. If nothing bad is going on just install it where you want to have a security camera and put the disc that came with it in your computer and it will walk you through it. Son is looking at a way to bypass D-Link and use other programs to use it.
Here are some links on it for those who know computer stuff

Son will let me know more. There is a way to use it with a DVR but cant find that info right now. Also, make sure to password protect it! Thats how people hack in to see your feed.
Common sense rule of thumb....... if that big beautiful plant you have growing in the corner may not be the legal kind then DONT point the camera towards it!! Looks like it will be a great camera for monitoring the doors or windows
