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 !

Yea, I'm pretty happy right now, I"m watching my Lidia(the cook), I used to get her on my odd channel on the tv, then about a year ago it went away, and I've been in withdrawl ever since
What a difference it has made in FB, before I had to really keep on top on it, checking all the time, cause it would only load maybe 45?? or so posts, and no matter how long I waited it just wouldn't load them. Some days were better than others.......looks like I could go back forever now.
Looking to find the race free.
Didn't play that, but hope they are golden

I'm still waiting on 2 of the 3 Angry Birds little eggs. Is anyone else still waiting for any Angry Bird Eggs?
Good Luck to all!

If you want to watch TV shows on line, you can use the free Hulu or go to other sites. I like http://www.free-tv-video-online.me/internet/ personally. No commercials and they offer every TV series ever invented. And all the past episodes if you missed any.
My little Sunshine had to go back to the vet's yesterday for a check up to be certain everything is okay. She's a good cat and I'm enjoying her immensely. Azizi is thrilled that he finally has a cat who likes to play.
My ex-boss came over yesterday and picked up the Acer tablet I won. She loves it -- it comes with the keyboard docking station so it's more like a laptop than a tablet, although she can use it either way. She paid me $450 for it -- a good deal for her and I can use part of that for paying taxes. Win-win, as it were.
I've won a few small prizes -- Brawny paper goods, a gas card for my sister, etc. I do enter lots of contests so usually get something at least once a week. One of the better things I've gotten recently was from the city of Los Angeles -- emerency food supplies. It's a giveaway for seniors and consists of 5 meals. If I have power, I can microwave them. If the power is out, you pull something and the meals heat themselves. Also came with 10 small bags of water with a 5-year shelf life. I'm NOT giving my sister half of that win. I've stashed them in a closet and will only use for a real emergency.
So all is going well, but I've been sooooo busy. I enjoy reading all your posts and even if I don't have time to respond, I take it all in.
Win big, people, and continue to give the rest of us the inspiration we need to keep on keeping on.

Basically, just use common sense and download NOTHING.

Glad to hear that Sunshine and Azizi are getting along so well!
Congratulations on the wins! We have a different interpretation of a "small win". Mine is anything under $10.
Good Luck to all!
She's constantly amazed by the prizes I win. Because I give most of them to her (for her use or for her kids or their kids), I just dump everything in the back room and don't really think about them. When she comes into LA for the day, I move everything to the dining room table and must admit, even I'm impressed.
I remember the days when every time something showed up, I'd proudly put it directly onto the table so I could see it and pat myself on the back. But then that started getting dangerous to the cats because I'd be afraid the pile would fall on them. That's when I just started putting it in the back. When Linda comes in, there's stuff on the table, stuff piled next to the chair she sits in, stuff under the table -- it's almost funny.
You have to remember, though, that I enter a LOT of contests because although I don't want most of the stuff they're giving out, someone in my family would be thrilled to get it. And they're giving it away for FREE. Of course I do limit my entries to items under $600 or electronics I can sell to someone locally so I can get cash to pay taxes and have some left over. I don't try for refrigerators or stoves or $1000 worth of musical gear. And NO trips.
I enjoy this routine, and I'll admit it to anyone who asks. And if it hadn't been for FFers, I never would have known that this world existed.
