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 !

I got this message from Wilton on FB

Thank you Gary. We appreciate your support of Wilton, and your long running support of the contest. We're trying to sort through what is real, and trying to figure out whether or not there was any vote manipulation. We want to reward honest, and hardworking people - the same that use Wilton vises every day. We're tool people, not necessarily Internet super sleuths, so we're doing the best we can to try and get to the bottom of this.

Thank you for yours, and your friends support of Wilton!

Quote from Dori :
I had an instant win on the 10th from the 60 seconds of mayhem. Their website shows the prizes for the instant wins for each week. So I won in week 3 and got week 2 prize. Bornblondeey brought this to my attention, so I contacted Allstate and they basically told me to bad so sad. This was an unclaimed prize from week #2 that was rolled into the Week #3 pool of prizes, as we wanted to award all available prizes to our winners. So instead of winning a Vizio 42'' HDTV for WEEK 3, I won a $50 Shell gift card left over from the week before. What a crock of DO-DO! So don't be disappointed if you win and the prize is not what they say it is.
I thought about this again, I say BS, Something needs to be done. I posted on their FB site. I think we all should.

Well it should be easy to find. Especially when someone gets 16000 votes in 10 days. And the other got like 1000 overnight.

I don't know what else I can do. I have had 3 people e-mail, me passing the buck. I explained my case but they are saying; This was an unclaimed prize from week #2 that was rolled into the Week #3 pool of prizes, as we wanted to award all available prizes to our winners.
I responded with; I am truly disappointed with the conclusion of this determination. The games website clearly states that the prize for week 3 is a television, not a Shell gift card. Nowhere in the rules does it say unclaimed prizes from the week before will go to the next week. I am sure the website knows the date and time that I played each day, which would validate my complaint. So maybe all the weekly prizes and the grand prize are Shell gift cards and not what is advertised on the website
and I have not got a reply.

Im trying to win one of those jar openers for Regina so she can open a jar by herself. I wouldnt mind having one but I just dont get that much stuff from a jar. Congratulations
I keep trying but i think the contest is over. I kinda think we are just playing for coupons but I keep hoping. When I send back my form tomorrow (had it notarized today) I am going to write to them and ask if you were my partner, ok?

I forgot to say - I called bed, bath and beyond and they are a lot more than the site even with their 20% off coupon. I would have to special order it because they do not carry it in their stores. Wonder if it really works good.

That's just it, How do we know that's all they're giving away. Plus, Ask them how this is a solution to an unclaimed prize because now your TV is unclaimed too. Let it be known on their FB site.

Air Conditioner - is now fixed. Store sent out 2 repairmen who slanted it one inch downward. Stubborn here kept referring to the manual where it really does say it can be level and does not need to be angled out. No more water. A very thin frame on the window (metal) and I could now understand why he was afraid to angle it and there is no sill outside. Stupid .
Oh my!! I didn't realize that was still going on! Hopefully you have found the cure, what a pain!

Woo-hoo! Thanks, I am a fan of their contests now. Big Grin
Quote from Wishalot :
Hello Everyone. Hope life is treating you good and you're all winning lots of neat stuff. Haven't had time to enter but a few contests.

Life's been crazy. DIL had to go into the hospital almost two weeks ago because she was losing amniotic fluid. Her Mom and sister came and helped with the two boys, 4 1/2 and 20 mos, for about three days. Then we came last Wednesday. DIL had the baby by C-section on Friday. Baby was only 28 weeks along. He was 3 lbs 3 oz and 15 1/2 in long. So far he is doing okay. We went and saw him yesterday. DIL came home from the hospital this evening but the baby will be in the hospital for a long time.

Before all this happened I had made reservations for my mother to visit. She'll be coming tomorrow. Am expecting both our sons and their sons (3 not counting the new one) to be visiting this coming weekend. My mom will be visiting for two weeks.

I'm beginning to think that life will never be normal again, or maybe this is normal.

Take care. I'll stop by again when I can.
It's good to hear from you wish, was wondering where you were. Congratulations on being a grandma again, sounds like a little miracle there, prayers are with him. I'm sure you will enjoy your family's visit, just what you needed maybe, even if you don't think so lol.
Quote from countrycowgirl :
hugGood morning and good luck today everyone!
Whew! Been busy with mud and paint. lol Dont know why I didnt do all this sooner. Place looks great. Shown 3 times over the weekend. One family is coming back for a second look today. They would be perfect since they will not be able to move until the spring and would rent back to me while I am building the new house. Would only have to move furniture once! Oh please let them buy!!
I am so tired every night when I enter contests that I fall asleep with my fingers still moving on my laptop. BF laughs at me. Well, as long as I dont drool on it!LMAO
That's greatccg! Good luck with it.

Today's Travel Channel Trivia Question!
The statue of which Revolutionary War hero stands in Wilmington, DE?
You Answered: Caesar Rodney

CORRECT!


This statue of Delaware's most cherished patriot stands in downtown Wilmington, DE. On July 1, 1776, Caesar Rodney rode horseback to Philadelphia -- the very next day, the American lawyer and politician from Dover, DE, cast a crucial vote that paved the way for the passage of the Declaration of Independence.
