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 !

Madfound out I have to pay 7K (10K with a 3K credit) to my electric co-op to run 1000feet of power lines to my new houseEEK! My old house is even further and cost nothing but the rules changed in 2011. They will let me pay $150/month interest free for like 4 yrs on top of electric bill....wtf!! This seems illegal. Any opinions???
Unfortunately, that's normal. You will need to pay for the meter (unless that is included-normally not) and to turn on the line. How much will running the water/gas/sewer lines cost you?
Most people don't see those charges unless they build a house or live in the country and the city extends services out to their area. It is part of the cost of building a home. The builders include the cost of all of that in their home prices.

There will also be a tax change-when I bought new, there was a 4 year tax abatement, where I only paid taxes on the land like it was still farm land, then the property taxes went up in the 5th year. It was an incentive allowed by the city to build out my way. I'm not certain how that will work in your case.

I'll do Popps job this Morning, Got this in an email and had to share


Life just gets better as you get older doesnt it.
I was in a Starbucks Coffee recently when my stomach started rumbling and I realized that I desperately needed to fart. The place was packed but the music was really loud so to get relief and reduce embarrassment I timed my farts to the beat of the music. After a couple of songs I started to feel much better. I finished my coffee and noticed that everyone was staring at me..
I suddenly remembered that I was listening to my Ipod.... and how was your day?
This is what happens when old people start using technology!
LMAO That's great, something I would do!

I just asked Sam because right before he met me he built a house in Spokane, WA. All that work and everything for nothing because he said he had not planned on meeting me. but, he dug his own trench of 1,800 ft and the power company laid their wire and made the final connection and charged him almost $3,000 if that is any help.

I also know better, was doing more than one thing, and clicking through too fast.
Ive learned to check that permissions agreemenet because I would feel really bad if I put something on the sweeps doc that turned outto be bad. I almost fell for it. Looked to see if there was a similar scam and couldnt find one so was about to when the second app aproval notice came up and I noticed it gave them prmission to not only post as me butto take control of my facebook. Thats when I backed out.
Went into my apps and it was there approved anyway so I removed the permission and removed posts related to it!!!
Scares me that they could have that much control. Just wonder if they can get other info. some people use facebook to make payments and associate their credit cars and bank with it.

To remove the app and deny it access:
Go to the padlock on the upper right on facebook (in the blue section)
click on it and go down to other apps and click that

Go down to APPS on the left side of the page and click it. This will bring up all the apps you have allowed. (scary how many there are!!)

click edit and go to the bottom and choose remove app.

Last night I went through and took them all off. I will allow only the ones I am using and know is safe and promise top always pay more attention!!
