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 !

Love all the yakking(sp)....it's been awhile

Went and bought new computer today........but I'm still on the old one. My AOL disk won't work with Windows 7 and AOL WON"T give me an access number to get online and download AOL.......I have to wait till they send me a disk........I just want ta kick their ass......lol
Maybe I'm missing something obvious but...why don't you go to aol dot com? At the bottom of the page, click on DLs, and DL it? Even better, don't DL it & just go there to read your mail. I have an aol email but don't have the program on my puter.

I did the unlike thing too when he told me. I guess this company always has a "freebie", but never sends them. He posted a sd link earlier.

Quote from Vegas123 :
Thanks for the suggestion but I'm not sure I understand. I already pay them monthly to be online? I called and talked to 3 different people tonight and they just wouldn't help.

One guy told me if you need a number I'll give you one, but it won't work. Kind of a smart a**, one said it wasn't possible, and the other gave me a number and walked me thru it and the service would not connect. Basically told me a I need to go through the disk to get online.
Did you get an email from Kraftmaid yet? I have not.

Sometimes I get a really smart person - most of the time they are not. I will call sometimes 3 or so different people until I get one that helps. I do let them take over my computer. Most people use the free aol but it takes so very long to use that version. I hope you find someome to help you. Can't you try calling once more? I am sorry.

I'm probably missing something..... AOL is how I get online they're my ISP........I can't go to Aol.com or anything else, I can't get online..

They posted on their wall that contact should be made within 24 hours, that was about 5 hours ago. Good luck!

Thanks Blondeey for trying to help me......I can't get myself to call them again.....it's more frustrating than waiting a week for the disk.

It's irritating, cause a few months back, I hunted and hunted and finally found the page, to fill out my info and request a backup cd.........probably did it 3 times and never got one.

I am going to call over to Best Buy tomorrow and see if they can help me out with a disk.

I will put myself into "patient" mode and wait for the disk.

Been jerking with the computer and haven't seen that.........if I don't get one within the 24 I'll send them an email. Don't know what else we could do.

That's good. I hope Best Buy can help you. So frustrating. But you do not have the Internet Explorer or anything like that to get online with? Do you have cable, the dish or the phone line?

Quote from Gary123X :
and another winning email

Hi Gary,

Thank you for participating in Tampico's Piñata Bash!

On behalf of Tampico Beverages, we are excited to inform you that you are the fourth prizewinner for the Tampico Piñata Bash contest and have won a tricked-out skateboard deck!


all that bashing paid off




meet you for a double feature bounce
Gary, I just got this email too. If I had not read that you won it I would have deleted my email the way the subject line was worded. thanks. BUT, what did we win?? It is a tricket-out skateboard "deck" (no wheels??) then it says: Once we receive your confirmation, we will begin to coordinate "the pick-up for the skateboard deck with you"??? What does that mean. and then we are getting a media release form giving them permission to publish my name and photos??
Did you accept? Do we have to pick it up someplace? Will they take our pretty pictures on a skateboard with no wheels?
