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 have a radiator one which is big and ugly, a little fan oscillating one by Holmes and a tiny little ceramic one in here just to heat my feet. Thank you for taking the time to put this up. It says Walmart has them. May be late in the season for heaters, but I will try to get there soon I just hate the Walmart parking lot and people but I need some things from them soon. There is absolutely no room on this desk for anything, has to go on the floor.
I started using an electric blanket on the bed , and started using a lap size electric one across my legs and feet as I sit at computer......since then, I've kept the thermostat down by about 8-10 degrees. If the feet and legs are warm seems to help a lot.

OH WOW i have a little electric blanket in a box and forgot about it. thanks. that should solve the problem. and it should not draw too much current to blow the circuit breaker in here. have so much connected and going in this little room.

You seem to be in a sure fire winning streak!
Lots of coffee! Didn't you win the Latte Love contest too? I'm curious what the prizes were from that contest, which I think Blondette won, too.
I won the latte kit. Only one won the keurig - i think maybe Boyd, forget now. A few of us one the latte. that was 24 hrs of hourly entries. Edit, read further, Mt. Mom answered you.

First Good News: Contractor finished the estimate and I faxed it off to company. figures, she will be out until next Wednesday and then it has to be brought to her with my file. But at least progress has been made.
Bad News: My daughter leaves for work at 4am in NYC. Was beaten badly and hurt on the way to the subway..
So, I wish this year would end and next year be better. Too much happened. I am sad and have to finish shampooing one more room. My therapy. Even sweeps do not seem to help much now. Hope I get out of it. You do not have to comment, what is is. Cannot change it.
I was so saddened and sorry to read about your daughter. I hope she will recover quickly from her injuries and won't have emotional scars from this senseless act of violence. You and your family are in my prayers, once again.

Quote from Gary123X :
I was at costco today and saw that Presto heater too

they work great but with limitations

they are not room heaters
they aim the heat in one direction

so if your at your dest or on the sofa watching tv, you aim it towards you and it will keep you real toasty, most likely you won't be able to keep it turned up all the way

it will heat a small room, but not a large one like a living room, it will heat a den sized room.

if you want to heat a whole room this is not what you want,
but if you want to be real warm while your sitting in one place this is great
They sell heaters there?? LMAO

Oh my! Time does fly. I haven't been on here since the thread switched. I suppose I've missed a lot. I think I'm just not as social as many of you.

Only thing I've won lately is a free product coupon for a 2 oz pkg on the Buddig contest. Hope the rest of you have been doing better than that.

Friday we went to a free Christmas show at one of our local casinos, featuring Travis Ledoyt, a young Elvis impersonator. It was enjoyable.

Then on Saturday, we used a couple of the movie tickets I won to see Lincoln. It was very good but long and dry. I think I'd like to read the book.

Tonight we went to a Christmas Service that was set up at the Grand Harbor Convention Center for two sessions. Then we came home and had beef stew and some cherry chocolate chip oatmeal cookies that I made this afternoon. Seems kinda wierd this Christmas cause we celebrated with family two weeks ago.

Well, I sure hope the rest of you are enjoying the Holidays.

Merry Christmas!
It's hard to catch up, isn't it! It's always good to hear from you, Wishalot!
Congratulations on your Musselman win! Smilie
Hubby and I are used to juggling holidays. It seems the bigger families grow, the harder it can be to get everyone together!
I had to work on Christmas Eve and Matt had to work graveyard on Christmas night. Our power was out on Christmas day from 8 AM until about 3 PM. Fortunately, Matt was home, or I would have been grumpy. I don't have good luck getting the pull cord to work on our generator. We were warm by our wood stove, and had coffee, chocolate, contests and Christmas presents.

Did you get an email from them? write back using that email. seems too long now. I still did not get a hat i won on Sasquach the last time.
The winning e-mail from Aria was on August 28th for the shot glass. The IWG ended on Oct. 17th. There has been some discussion on the contest thread about these prizes and someone has already asked E-Prize and had a reply that the prizes from that contest haven't been mailed out yet.

When you win on the Sasquatch, you need to open the winning e-mail. There is a code inside and a link to order the item that you won. It comes in 10-14 days. The e-mail would have been from fulfillment@eprizefulfillment and the subject :Big News From the Jack Link's 2012 Election Campaign.
