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 !

Well my last day at work is Friday the 8th, I fly out for my cruise on the 9th to Ft Lauadale Flordia and don't return home untill the 22nd. I did find out on Friday that they are going to pay me my two weeks vacation. I'm going to start checking tomorrow by calling the labor board to see if i'm entiled my sick days too. I would'nt worry about my sick day if I did'nt have so many, in the five years i've been here i've only called in sick twice so that would leave me about 28 days cause you get a 1/2 a day for every 30 days you work so that is 6 days a year. On a good note I do have a couple of job possibillites in the works, it would be nice if I could secure a job before I left so I would'nt have to worry about that on my vacation.
Sorry so long
Just put it out of your mind while you're on vacation and ENJOY IT!

ok.. I just have to ask.. this Dole salad gig.. are they on fkn crack? Their questions suggest that they may be putting way too many mushrooms in their salads..I wrote back.. "Sex"

You can elevate an "everyday" food, such as a salad, to "extraordinary" simply by enjoying it mindfully. What else in your life have you improved by being fully present?

I'd contact them. The T shirt should have come within 8-10 weeks, Sept. to Feb is 4 months-that's long enough to get a personalized Visa out to you.

I found out when I was missing 8 free coupon items from different giveaways in a 10 week span last year, that the post office sorting center (contracted out by the USPS) had numerous people indicted for stealing from the mail during that period. They stated that they couldn't tell who the gc's, coupons, and merchandise that they had confiscated belonged to.....the investigation took months and they had the thieves on survelliance cameras. If there were any surprise wins, I'll never know, but only P & G sent a 2nd coupon out.

Sorry so long
Hope that you receive all of your pay that you have worked so hard to earn. I also hope that you have a job before you leave. Since you have been such a good and faithful employee, the word does get around. Don't be surprised if you are offered a substantially larger wage-most family run business' pay their employees less, especially over time.
Enjoy your family vacation!

WOW! Wonderful mail day! There are a lot of teens who would be drooling over the Hunger Game items.

Big Grin They do seem to be possibly, smoking something green when they write those questions.

Rec'd an e-mail that RewardsGold gave me a choice of magazine titles for a Super Bowl sweeps win. Chose another year of Forbes magazine.

Good Luck to all!
