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 !

Can you alert the el. co or police that you have a medical need and cannot leave the house? Maybe they will be able to restore you first if it happens again.

Quote from Dabble-Inn :
I don't blame ya, It's very common out here for houses to have the open free standing type wood burners or what they call a pellet stove which is what I have. I think they put out a lot more heat than a real fireplace cuz of the blowers but a pellet stove is also electric. Ain't no good when the power is out. I'd much rather have a nice real fireplace
Mine is gas and it has a blower but when the power goes out it is enough to heat the living room because of having no blower on. Still creates a lot of heat.

My cousin hooked the blowers up to where the smoke would go up the pipe and the heat would go into the vents somehow to heat the whole house!
I have no vents.

Crap, someone always puts a jinx in plans....If you can risk losing the job, maybe find another, go with your parents........you never know when you won't have them. Wouldn't think you'd regret going with them, you might regret if you don't.
Yeah I'm going no matter what I'll figure something out

I *told* ya that you're the brains of this outfit! Brilliant! Here's what I posted:
{Dave's daughter's name deleted}, I'm sure you know that your Dad has a lot of Funny Farm friends on SD, who are not FB friends. They've asked me to convey to you, your family, and of course Dave, that you are in their thoughts, prayers, and hearts. Your father is much loved! Again, I can't begin to imagine what you are going through as a family. Thank you so much for keeping us updated. <3 <3

Today's Travel Channel Trivia QuestionWhere was movie legend Elizabeth Taylor born?
You Answered: London

CORRECT!Congratulations,

Hampstead Garden Suburb
Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor was born to American parents in this northwest London suburb in February 1932. The youngest of 2 children, Taylor's beauty was apparent early on. A mutation gave Taylor double eyelashes, and people would stop to behold her deep blue eyes, which appeared violet.

Ive been updating it daily, at least trying to https://docs.google.com/document/...t?hl=en_US
So good of you to do this. I refer to it when I'm out of town or when I'm looking for more sweeps to enter.


Quote from bornblondeey :
Warning - do not become organized. Up until last year in my totally disorganized organized way i was able to find mostly everything within minutes. Last January I organized with Sam's assistance. I can find nearly nothing. I told him some day I am going to reorganize his shed and put all his screws, nuts, nails, etc. where I think they should go and see how he functions. He did not laugh this time. wave
I can relate to that. Husband gets upset that I always have a 2 - 4 inch stack of papers sitting around. Yet, I can find whatever I need to find cause if it's not where it should be, then it's in that stack. If he were organizing it, it would be in the garbage and then we'd never find it.

Quote from figarotigger :
Congratulations winners! This is more like it!

Rec'd a surprise win in the mail from August 15th Allure-a L'Oreal nail polish. Also rec'd 2 ea $25 Williams & Sonoma GC's from the November wins from the Del Monte FB recipe contest. The return address is Premier Business Solutions, so don't throw it away as junk mail!
Whoever really won in the 3rd week, please post when you receive that win. I didn't ask if I really won and would like to know if I can still hope!

Good Luck to all!
Congrats. Nice win.

At least that is out of the way so only up from here on out. Now Me on the other hand broke my right ring finger on a weekend our insurance changed and took forever figuring out what to do LOL
Finger is in splint, typing like a one armed hen which I hate not having all my fingers to type with.
Work will be fun LOL am a receptionist

Happy New 2013
I'm kind of curious. How did you break a ring finger? It's like surrounded by two other fingers.

Quote from sly6855 :
I'm so agravated right now, back in Dec 2011 I found out my parents are going on a cruise in Febuary for 11 days. Me and my husband like to cruise we go about everyother year so when I found out they were going I jump on it cause i've allways wanted to go with them and they don't do it very offten. My parents are 73 and 75 so they are'nt going to be around much longer and this will be my only chance to cruise with them. The problems is I just told work and they will not let me take two weeks off, but I check the employee hand book and it says no where in there that I can not. I did not tell my boss the reason yet so i'm going to sleep on it and decide what to do tommorrow. I may have to make my last day at work the friday before we go. The other problem is my boss is my brother in law he is married to my sister. I might go talk with the owners secretary tommorow because we are realy close and see if she can help me get my two weeks aproved.
Sorry so long
Did they give you a reason why you can't take off? Seems wierd to me.
