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 !

Hi guys. I have probs typing a lot but remain a dedicated lurker. Big Grin I had to reformat my puter (and give M. Security Essentials the boot!) a few weeks ago due to a nasty little trojan. I have removed Java completely and have had no probs (or need for it). They do have a new update but even that is said to have flaws. If you just insist on having the program, this may help. It gives a step by step for updating and settings. You *do* have to remove the older versions! Putting the link on your desktop will make it easier to turn it off or on in browsers. hug

Why can't you type? will you be able to fix it?

They are just placing blame. Thats not what Reddit is or how it works. That would be like saying SD cheated everyone because thats where they got the link. Theyre just passing the buck and claiming innocent

I don't think they're blaming them
but that it was free on the site and no recurring orders so thats why they are honoring it

either way they took it off

I wonder how many of the 830,000 they sent out just accept the charges

Quote from ryazmom :
They got me too. Ordered 3 kits. Got billed for 3 @ a price of 31.90 ea. recurring!! Guess who I'm calling tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!Mad

remember to say you ordered from the Reddit add

go to the Victory site and get your order #'s they ask for it to look you up

I know that is why if it happens again i WILL call their 800 #. Years ago (i think i already told us all the story - maybe maybe not) they left a lock on the garden center doors. a kid thought it was funny, locked me out there near closing time, i was very cold, had to go to the bathrom from fear of being locked in their overnite, and finally was let out near closing time. It is near the rear of the store and no one was ever back near me. i had my cellphone but got so frantic i did not think to call the front desk. so they said sorry they have to devise a different way of locking out there and sent me home. the next day i called the 800 no. and they did give me a gift card. they are so cheap now i doubt they will offer any monetery anything, but they do not have the right to treat customers like they are cheating when they are not.


Just reading this. this is terrible for you. won't your sister be better by then and be able to take over? you cannot do all this.
She'll be back to work by then!!! She doesnt have the stomach for it and I just know its gonna be up to me to change her diaper when the time comes!!! Dreading it already!

And that is what they are counting on! They have to cancel the credit card orders that havent even been sent out so no loss but they still get to charge all the people who didnt cancel! They made out big and I wouldnt doubt it if they did this to begin with since reddit doesnt work like that. Its basically to connect social sites. Someone had to place it there

I got up set because she just treated me like I was stealing from them and I was scum!!

how to handle a Walmart employee, one tried to do that to me..This is what I said.

"Listen Missy, I don't like your accusatory tone, these are legitimate coupons issued by the manufacturer, you either take them or give me your employee number so I can report this incident to the walmart corporate office."

she got meek and said OK let me scan them again.

Remember this one

Death Valley, Grand Canyon, Overland Trail, Yosemite Falls, even route 66. Sure there all found on a map, but it's possible to see them all in a single state.


Shed some light for us, which state?

Us girls had to do a lot of uncomfortable things for my mom when she was sick. I just made a joke of it, and told her, hey just like changing the oil in my car. has to be done , we'll do it and be done with it. Saved a lot of embarrassment for both of us.

Hi Batty!
Did you get your Belevedere prizes?

Quote from figarotigger :
How did Firefox ask if you wanted to add a search engine (Ask)? Was it a pop-up? I always close those. Firefox only asks me if I want to update when I bring up the program. I turn my computer off when I am not going to use it for hours.

The control panel in my post about Java is the one that you get to by clicking on your Start button from Windows (lower left on most PC's). Then look at the menu on the right for Control Panel to get the icons for adding programs, internet, printers etc.
Click on the Java one.....
did you get your Belevedere prizes? maybe have to write them on facebook if you do not within a week or so.

I think I was better 2 days ago, tonight not so good again. Sam still sick. Cat ate bacon this morning. The day I went to the little food store I bought a variety of little cans. I have to go back soon and get more. some she eats a teaspoon of in the morning, does not want to eat at night. as long as she eats something but still not going to the bathroom. i am not really up to driving as i get dizzy and weak yet. i sleep and get up a while , repeat, repeat. i feel like i wasted over a week so far.
Glad that your cat is eating something. If she's not eating or drinking enough, then she won't have enough liquid in her body to use the litter box. She may need to be iv'd to give her fluids. That's what the vet had me do, until it didn't help any more. It was surprisingly inexpensive for the iv, needles, and iv solution-under $10. I was a little squeemish at first, but I learned.

Your mother sounds like Granny in Janet Evanovich's One for the Money, Two for the ... Series. I bet you'd enjoy those books. Funny.
