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 !

Good Morning FF,

Received the Mayan prize a few minutes ago.....did have to sign for it.

While the case is cute, I have my doubts as to a $114 value....just my opinion on it.

Congrats to the winners I missed and thanks for the links.

That's good with twix. I sure wish I could win something else - anything.

Got all the Belvedere wins today and they are very nice.
Sunglasses are white frame and blue on the sides
Tea cooler is sharp - lined and nice handles
2 shopping bags are white
I hope someone who get them can post pictures as they are so nice and came wrapped with tissue paper and packed nicely. Not at all what I expected. Thought everything would be red. I got a little box of Ziplock containers also. I just checked the mail.

Thanks. Sister says she will sign for a lowe's card for me
I would also get a credit card where your checking account is. You only need to use when you want and then pay it off. This will establish good credit.
My Visa card has rewards so I charge often and even pay bills. When I get so many points just for using it I choose to receive an account credit. My daughter and her hubby saved their points to fly free recently. You just have to pay it off each month on time so they dont get you with late fees and/or interest charges.

Need advice. Just found out as a widow of a Viet Nam era vet I can get a home loan. Ultimate goal is to own my own home. Checked my credit (dont know the exact score) have 4 adverse under $40 3 from ID theft and the bank says I owe $845 in bounced check fees from the ID theft although they took the checks off I still owe the fees for them bouncing???? Dont get that one!! One more check that I did because I wrote on an account that was closed because when we moved I grabbed the checkbook out of the box (grabbed the wrong one) I paid the check off the next week because Dominoes wouldnt let me write again til I did. They re-instated my check writing privileges but never notified the main office it was paid and it went on my credit report AND prosecuting attorney. Its for $35 but I have refussed to pay it off a second time!
Also had a beef with mediacom. They said I didnt return the right plug in cord to the cable box and charged me $298!!!! I refused because they threw away the cord I did return. (They know the difference???) I paid it off 2 years later when I returned to them for service.
All of these will be removed from my report 08/13.
The problem Im having is..... I dont believe in credit cards!! I pay as I earn it! Good/ cheaper..... does NOT build credit however! Did have a credit line of $2500 when I bought my car and it reported that I paid on time for 2 years but that was in 2002!!
Need advice on credit building cards...... credit union vs bank??? Do not know what Im doing!!! Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks!!

you can get a card like Macy's and use it then pay it off at the same time at the same register

What a disaster. All this time trying to research since each card you get denied for lowers your score. Went to Lowe's to apply and have my sister co-sign. Lady there didnt do it right, ran it through 3 times before she realized what we were doing. Then ran it throuygh reporting my sisters income as only $1200/year!!!
All got denied so she is going to add me as an authorized card holder to 3 of her accounts she's actively paying off. I wont get a card/ dont want one but it will help build my credit.

You got lucky on the "buy here, pay here" place... lots of nightmare stories I've heard from those places around here nod
They tried telling me I was in default with 3 payments left and they were taking the car back so I needed to find another way home. I whipped out my reciepts folder and told them to redo their math cause I didnt miss a payment. We went through them for a couple hours checking and rechecking and they tried to say I had a fake reciept!! Once I told them my step brother was a cop and so was my cousin they let me pay the car off and gave me the title! Didnt tell them they lived in Florida and I hadnt seen either in 15 years!!! LMAO

Oh no -I got set back yesterday. Sam is coming along but no Tamiflu for him only me. I was better yesterday. It is hard for us as we take turns with the pets, etc. We sleep a lot yet. Coughing is getting less and less, He cooked 1/2 package of bacon for the cat, i got so happy to bring it to her and nothing. She is eating nothing, not her food nor special food. Kitchen is a mess and we are starting to run out of juice and soup. I got bread yesterday but it was hard for me to bring them to the vet. I was very weak and dizzy. I don't want to spread this and go coughing into the food store. I wanted jello but forgot that. I hope by Monday he can go back to work.


Well he enters expired sweeps that i do but some day we are going to win one of them. Big Grin

Cat just ate ham woot
I haven't rec'd the Belvedere wins yet-something to look forward to soon! Did you receive the snap bracelets?

Make a list for when you go to the store. I have to do that when I am ill or I forget all of the important things!

Glad that the cat ate ham. That's my current cat's favorite food! Salmon is 2nd, but not fresh. only from the canshake head. People can, not canned cat food. Then, 3rd fav is tuna from the pouch (again people tuna)-she will even indicate that she wants the Bumblebee tuna pouch instead of the Starkist. Shakes her head and say nawwwww, then paws the drawer until I show her that there is no Bumblebee tuna left.

Hope that you and Sam continue to feel better.
