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 !

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self...g_marriage
This seems to be what she's doing......hope she checked it out for the county she's getting married in and not the county they live in.....
A little something I learned from Outwit The West....... Anyone can say whatever they want on Wikipedia but that doesnt make it true!!! shake head I would call the court house where she lives since alot of counties wont recognize it as a marriage even though another might. If its not legal she wont get a license which means she will just have to go redo it anyway so no problems

I am so sorry for your loss.
Your list is similar to the one that I had when I lost my previous cat to kidney failure. Add: watches people when they speak to her. It's not a guarantee of intelligence, but it does make a difference.
Moriah was "at least" 5yo and overweight when I brought her home. The older rescues are SO appreciative of a good home.


When my Grandmother died, we showed her home with one bedroom set (3 bedroom home), a couch with one end table and a light(the room needed a light), and a set of towels in each bathroom. Some people rent furniture for home, so leave no furniture at all. The big no no is no personal photos or clutter, or peeling paint, any signs of neglect.
It took 13 months to sell at about 15% less than the original asking price. There was an offer that was 25% less in the first 30 days, but their financing probably wouldn't have gone through. The Family feeling is that they would have been better off they had accepted the lower offer (maybe the financing would have gone through?), instead of paying for those months of utilities and upkeep.



Glad that you are home safely and that the weather is not too bad (so far). Hopefully, this is as bad as it gets.

Good Luck to all!
I know. The unknown is scary. How long, etc. Just found out today that the taxes are soo much more than what we thought because his 90 yr old mom had all these deductions. they are more than double of what she paid and now we have to pay them. the real estate woman said she will not take the listing until the bathroom is completely redone. so we are looking at some time here.

The real estate lady works for you
if she is making demands find someone else to list it

and ask for a discount from the usual commission percentage

they are all hungry and will be eager to step all over each other to get a listing

interview at least 3 Realtors, in the process you will learn from them what to expect

they can't make commission if they don't sell it and they make nothing if they don't have a listing

if they say there are so many all fixed up places at the same or lower price they don't have your location

every house sells eventually
don't let them bully you

they are only sales people that sell houses, they are not anybody special
you have the real property to sell

Congratulations! Plus, thank-you for letting us know that you won. I'll wait a while before entering this am.
Ladderball is the lawngame where you throw the two little balls connected with a thin rope at the goal posts that have different "rungs" (ladders).
Here is a Wikipedia link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladder_ball

It's a fun game The guys will love it and $33 is a sale price valuation.

It is impossible. I've entered their contests 70 kazillion times and got squat. Did her email come from Nigeria? Does she have to pay $450 in import taxes to claim the prize? Was the cheese made by a company owned by the now deceased Foreign Minister? I suggest she forward the email to me and I'll check it out for her. Trust me. nod
LMAO
Quote from MTmom :
FYI to all about the Wilton contest. I received this response to my inquiry, and am very impressed.

Don't worry Rhonda. We're well aware of the votes that are being accumulated in suspect fashion. Internally, we're trying to determine the best way to handle it. Unfortunately when we developed the contest, the thought of people manipulating the process was not what we spent most of our time on. We tried to bring something to our fans as a reward for their loyalty and dedication to the tools that we have loved making for the last 70 years. You can be assured that the person who wins the prize will be picked with this spirit in mind, and not one of manipulation, and deceit. Thank you again for your continued support of Wilton.
wow! I really like this reply. Wish we could send it to the PR depts. of all the voting contests. Just cant believe in this day and age the sweeps pr peeps could be so niave to IT cheaters.
Quote from sly6855 :
Thanks, just finshed my sweeps at home

Glad you made it home safely and finished your sweeps early...added bonus! lol
