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 !

BTW I received the $500 GC from Skoal by Fed Exp on Friday. That was a really good contest! Had to use it all though on new airconditioner, still need more lol. I also received a $20 GC from skoal on hubbys name (reg mail) and got a $25 from Timberwolf.
Couldve been one that was looking real or someone who got access to someones facebook by a friend request and took the info from that and sent out friend requests to them. Theres also a way to get added onto someones friends without them knowing it but dont know too much about that way. Just that a news report said to watch who is on your friends list and make sure you want them there.

wave Here I am! I have not had time to get online because I've been helping my daughter move, no fun! She has 3 little ones 5, 4 and 2 and recently discovered she's expecting again. Problem is that she was advised not to have more children because she almost died with the last one. They have all been scheduled c-secs but the last one they weren't able to sew her uterus up because it was so thin there was nothing for the stitches to hold onto and she almost hemmorraged to death. Dr. just closed her up, gave her blood transfusions and crossed her fingers it would clot and stop on its own. Which thankfully it did, but really tough recovery and now the fear is that she will rupture with this pregnancy. Her appt. is not until the 12th, so we have a long wait to find out how this might go. Daughter does not believe in termination, scarey stuff. Wish I knew more about it.

Anyways....I am so far behind but HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you Cindy and to Batty and to Dabbs!!! I don't know anything about the spam Cindy, there's no indication of a problem from my end, no virus caught, but I'm trying to figure it out, so sorry! Is it still happening?
Oh, i am so sorry. You must be worried sick. Just the 3 little ones must be a handful and now this. My problems are nothing compared to this and others here. More prayers in order.[/QUOTE]
Thanks Blondeey, problems are problems and we all have them, and to each one of us they are important. Thanks for the prayers, I have kept you on my list hug
Quote from bornblondeey :
It's odd that happened with me because I almost NEVER give access to anything, especially not my friends, and barely allow any posting as me....and this is why! Darn it!
The "to" and "from" posts on here just got reversed. I never saw that before.

Well I have an old computer that I need to recycle. I'll see if BestBuy will take it. Would have done it last year but couldn't keep it alive long to reformat the hard drive.

We have a big walkup attic but I hate taking stuff up there. That needs a major cleanout, too.

Hi there wish! So did you reformat it? What does that mean? Take off your info? I wouldn't have a clue how to do that. I know that every nook and cranny is filled in my house.....much work to be done, wish I had a truck!

So far Isaac is parallel to the FL Keys. We are up about mid-state on the Gulf Coast. Time will tellConfused

I feel awful that Louisiana is in for it once again. Eerie as it is 7 years to the day, seven years ago, they got slammed by Katrina.Frown
Adding my wishes that Isaac fizzles out and doesn't hit land hard.

kvilla, will add your daughter and family to my prayers.
Congratulations on receiving your wins.

I rec'd a $25 I tunes that I won in June from the Nabisco/American Idol IWG and the 3 Burger King game pieces that I mailed in a request with a self addressed envelope, almost 3 weeks ago in today's mail. Won a small smoothie, Quaker Maple Oatmeal, and a Southwestern Burrito. 2 postage stamps for $6.77 in food. You have until Sept 2nd (postmarked) to mail in more, so I may do another one or two. The one Nephew likes Burger King a lot.

The car is NOT covered by the recall. They did tell me that there is a possibility that it will be added later and to have it checked out at their official Saturn dealership. I know that if it IS added later, that I would be re-imbursed, but it doesn't make sense with the other problems looming.

Thank-you for all of the well wishes. I've been blessed with good health for the last 3 years and no family ills (after 6 years of losing all 4 Grandparents, an Uncle, my Dad, and then Mom having breast cancer (5 years survivor in October please). Both of my pets died within 3 months of each other (liver cancer and 2 years of kidney failure) after the family deaths. Then I was very ill for 2 years too. My Brother's marriage is in shambles, but he is making headway and the youngest is 13 now. So, I'll count my blessing and hope to find a job soon.
Sorry to be so long. I'm trying to keep up.

Reformatting removes everything from the hard disk (personal, etc.). It's been ages since I ever did that, so I'd have to read up on it.

I've got the time to sort through stuff. I just hate doing it. But afterwards, I know I'd feel better. I'm going to start with a box full of stuff I brought home from work when I retired in 2010. I went through it once already. Hopefully it will be easier now. I've only kept a few textbooks I worked on as a project manager over the years. I'm not sure why, as if anyone would care, even though some of them have my name on the copyright page or in the acknowledgments.

Right now I'm trying to make flight arrangements for my mother to visit but working around other's schedules is a pain.
