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 !

So kinda of a win/birthday gift from cable company. SIL came and unhooked my cable and hooked up the antennas on my t.v.s got them all running fine. So I called the cable company to finally cancel the cable t.v. (like I have been planning for months) said I was keeping the internet. They said you will lose the $10.00 deduction you get for not having a bundle anymore told them I knew this he said let me see what I can do. He said we don't offer the 15 Meg that you have anymore our lowest is 30 meg now for a flat rate no modem charge no taxes. So my 15 meg was going to go up to $57.46 with taxes and now I get 30 Meg for a flat $49.99. They already updated and can I tell the difference. Everything was really slow today. Took forever to refresh this page and FB was really slow. Everything is so fast now can't wait to see my Toons zipping LOL



Thanks wish!!!!!!
Wonderful Birthday present! Love it when it turns out that you can get more for less money. Let us know about how the AT&T goes. Be certain to tell ask them about additional deals based on your employer, AAA, AARP, or any other organization that you are a member of. 15% additional discount is standard or x# of extra anytime minutes. Have them send a paper bill, and 6 months later, they will start to offer you a $10 Visa to change to paperless.
There are a few other things, but I need to go back about 15 pages and get caught up.
Glad your birthday was happy!

I usually ask if they offer senior citizen discounts (sounds sooo old) but I never ask if they offer AARP discounts. Not many give sr. discounts. Do you know if a lot give AARP discounts?

waveGood morning everyone. Good luck today.
Getting a contract tomorrow on my house. Yippie! Hope they dont try to low ball me...gotta stand my ground. It is a nice house and property and has only been on the market about 3 weeks. We shall see.
Missing alot of contests due to being so busy! EEK!
Also, my a$$hole attorney tells me my legal thingy may settle very soon. Im sure that will be a low ball offer too. Crooks!!! But, at least it seems my life is moving forward.
Also, to top everything else off. Gonna get married in Feb. Why not? nodLife is soooo crazy! laugh out loud
Wow! Lots of congratulations in order. You have to expect someone to try to ask you to lower the price. It's your decision whether to accept or counter offer. Hopefully, they are someone who you want as neighbors.
Your attorney SHOULD be able to advise you whether to settle or not. Whether or not the advice is sound and if you want to take it, is up to you. hug
Getting married in February! IF you are anywhere near Valentine's Day, it will be difficult to schedule even a small reception dinner. You ARE brave.

I joined AARP as soon as I turned 50. My parents had all of their insurances from them the hospital when your in pays so much a day. They collected alot as they were both in the hospital alot. I have worried about my children paying for my funeral so I was able to get $10,000 life insurance for $9.46 a month they wont have to pay for it. AARP is great!

Won this today
We're happy to let you know that you're a winner in the Jack Link's 2012 Election Campaign! You've won a Sasquatch Campaign Deck of Cards.
Congratulations! I won 3 ea 1.50oz bags of Jack Links Jerky after 11pm last night! Make certain to open the email and order your cards with the code that is in the email. They should be delivered within 7-10 days, if it is the same as previous years.

Quote from Dori :
Holy God, you FF's really have pull I just got this second e-mail



Our company has been working with Allstate on the :60 of Mayhem sweepstakes and we also want to extend our sincerest apologies for the mix-up. I understand that you have likely been in contact with several different companies and I wanted to reach out to you directly in order to expedite the shipping of your Vizio 42" HDTV. Can you please respond with your shipping address and we will have the TV shipped this week?
They really want to turn the publicity their way! Be sure to post on their Facebook wall about the rapid response AND when you receive your TV.

Quote from cwhetme :
USPS left a card that they have a large envelope for me to sign for!!! Gotta go in the morning to get it. So anxious to see what it might be
Did they leave a return address? Hopefully, it is a good envelope......

You may or may not know. On 9/12 I won on the M&M a $25 Gift Certificate. I guess from the Nascar Superstore. I have been zipping thru my emails lately and hope I did not miss their email. I cannot imagine them send me a gift cert. in the mail. What do you think? You know about all this stuff. bulb
The prize may or may not come in an e-mail. I won a NASCAR gift certificate a couple of years ago (it's still valid, I just haven't seen anything yet that I want) that came as an e-GC, but it was mailed.
Usually, M&M wins come after the contest is over.
