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 !

Surprise winning e-mail!
I think that I am a 2nd (or 3rd) chance winner since the contest ended on January 7th and SD'ers in the contest forum posted receiving wins in November.

"Congratulations on being chosen as a week 18 winner of the UPS Football Logistics Challenge!

You have won a COOLPIX L810 (Black)"

I asked for an acknowledgement that they have rec'd my confirmation e-mail. I am "guardedly excited". This is a much fancier digital camera than the COOLPIX that I bought a year ago last Christmas.

Good Luck to all!



Congratulations on this win and on the Camel! It must be the day for FF'ers to check on our e-mails!

Good Luck to all!
congrats on a nice win. Only thing I won today (yesterday now, Wednesday) was another belvita coupon.

Quote from figarotigger :
Thank-you! The e-mail had 2 attachments. One was a letter that had more into than the e-mail that I've already replied to -the letter gives a high retail value of the camera. In the rules(2nd attachment), the camera is only supposed to be valued at either $149.99 or $199.99 -the letter lists a higher value (which is higher than the current retail value). The Nikon 820 is the newer version of the camera and does have a higher value. This makes me wonder if I've fallen for a scam, so I will anxiously await an acknowledgement AND the camera.
is there a phone number to call anyone on those forms?

So here is my 2 kind of wins today. I had used my nfl shop $50.00 gift code to buy 2 gifts and paid the difference I had to return one of the items and they sent me a credit of $34.00 that I paid for that Item but put it back on the original gift code. I called them and told them I had already deleted it and they said they would send me a new code so I have waited about 3 weeks and just got the new code but they gave it for the full $50.00 so that was cool.

Then I wanted to get my hair professionally colored as the bottle job just isn't doing it for me anymore but couldn't afford a hair salon. So someone mentioned the cosmetology school here at the campus so made appt. for today. Got the best haircut I've ever had the color is perfect and not a grey to be seen. I also got a eye brow and lip wax and guess how much? $18.00 (well I did tip her another $10.00 but what a price!!!!!!
That is a great deal. It is nice to have all that done and for a price you can afford.

Thank-you. I've won one Bel Vita , SO FAR! Wink
There wasn't a phone number, but I'll give it until Friday since I rec'd the e-mail just after 5pm Replied with a request to let me know if they had all of the info that they needed. Since it's so long after the contest ended, and someone in the contest thread rec'd a win in November, I'm thinking that I'm a 2nd chance drawing winner.
The letter that had my name on it listed a higher prize value than the prize list. The e-mail just listed the camera make and model. The 2nd attachment had the wins.
In the contest thread, someone had won and rec'd a $200 I Tunes GC.

I hope that all of your tests go well in the morning.hug

Sounds good! I'm having Costco pizza tomorrow. It's Spring Break for my Niece and youngest Nephew, so Mom's bringing them into town for a movie and pizza. We may check out the new Cabelas store too, I'm seeing either Oz, The Crudds, or GI Joe Retaliation. I'm supplying the movie and goodies, Mom's buying lunch. Should be fun.

Good Luck to all! I'll have to go to bed tonight instead of around 5 or 6 am......

This makes me so mad!!! They arent charging the guy with rape or kidnapping because he knew the victim! He says she left her baby at home alone to go spend the week with him and party. She claims he abducted her buy force when she said she didnt want to go with him. Cops say his word against hers and the baby aint talking!!! Rape kit was positive. She had bruises and didnt take any clothes or purse or anything. Cops say they dont want to destroy his name if she was lying about it all!! What are they thinking???

Sons friend went to school and works doing hair. I call her and have her do it for me. She doesnt have to give any to her boss and I can help her more. She also takes stuff I win instead of cash sometimes
