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 !

A while ago someone "won a prize" on Grizzly and it did not state what that prize was. It just happened to me - I won something?? I don't remember who that was who won something, but wonder if they ever found out what the prize was. Then they wanted an update on my profile. They never did that before.
And Twixes - yes 2 back to back. Feel badly again about them but no other prize. Shame.
Congrats Smilie

I might have to do it that way. The only cards I can win at is team spades but only if we get to trade cards. I always give up my highest spades cause only I could get my king of spades trumped!!! My best strategy is giving my partner a better hand cause I know how to lose and I dont mind being a team player!! Big Grin
bounce I always look at the numbers previously pulled (they are posted above the wheel) and choose the color that is "on a roll". The people playing always tell me "No" choose the other color", but it usually wins. Officially odds are less than 50/50 because of the 0/00.

I won BIG on Honda after I posted. No dirty, smelly sock today. I could not believe it as I usually play that one just to laugh and be amazed at the silliness. I won a GC for $25 but it is not specific - says for tickets or merchandise and read the rules at the sponsor's discretion or something. Hope it is for merchandise. It is #6 on the list. See, you never know.
Congrats on the big win! Honda has very few "real" prizes.. The most common is the pack of gum. You won 7th prize! The rules say "sports merchandise or tickets", so it will be interesting. It can't be Live Nation because they don't handle sports!

Good Luck to all!

Glad that you enjoyed the trip. I wouldn't go on any of the roller coasters or the Tower of Terror. I did go on the water ride at the Animal Kingdom. Just waited on the kids (when they had a fast pass) with Mom-we explored and went on a tamer ride while they went on the crazy ones if they waited in line with their Mom.

Congrats on the surprise win! Don't forget to let us know what it is!

Congrats! The casino employees would have gladly explained about the chips. Usually, you bet with them and get to keep the winnings less the "complimentary chops". I usually bet on red or black on Roulette with the casino complimentary chips because they tend to be $25 ones. You win double if your color hits, so if you bet $25 on red and a red number is hit, you win $50. The "house" keeps the complimentary $25 and you get to keep the other $25. If you lose, it's gone. When you're done, if you've won, then you take the "real" chips to the cashier and they will give you cash.
My Uncle plays Black Jack, but people get irritated if you don't know what you're doing at Black Jack (because if you take or don't take a card, then they get that card (or don't) and it affects their play, according to Unc.). I asked if you couldn't sit down and ask the table to help you with the few plays with the comp chips, but he didn't seem to think it was a good ideaConfused.
Now you have to go back!

Congrats! I'm glad you won, but it was on the same contests that you won on yesterday in the am after you slept. No wins for me tonight again. Please concentrate on getting well. BTW, don't feel bad about winning the candy, if you don't then someone else will. Post on the trading thread in freebies and trade them for other frees that you use. Some people won Purina Dog Chow and rec'd the coupons this week. You can always ask to trade for other frees or Amazon.

Good luck to all!
Well, the package was the Terro Ant Bait that I had won......I had forgot about it.

Woo Ho!!! I get to mow the grass today!!! Just let the dogs out and its up to their bellies!!! and theyre boxers!!! LOL Gotta get some grass seed to fill in the big bald patches from when I did the weed and seed last fall. Does anyone have any ideas on a grass seed that grows slow and short so we dont have to mow as often and is good in full sun that will take over the yard and spread that is NOT crab grass??? Want grass grass for pretty lawns
Oh..... and it has to stand up to doggie pee........ Mikie has big bald spots where he goes all the time!!!

It's hard to get away from bald spots when you have a dog(s) I got some seed from a friend whos dad worked for a golf course. Don't know what it was but it was the stuff they use on the putting greens. It was a thin blade and stayed reasonably short. Of course my dog killed it all anyway... so I just buy bulk seed at the local hardware store and try to keep up with the bald spots nod You could always plant clover.... that stays low, always green, and tolerates doggie pee .... and you never have to mow laugh out loud

That was fast! The ants will start coming in soon, so it's nice to be prepared.
Crossing my fingers that they don't come this year. Since my Neighbor across the street moved and the peonies are gone, I haven't had the ants trying to come in.

Sprokitz, I was bad...........
Home Depot advertised vegetables and herbs at 5 for $10 or $2 ea. I bought a couple of tomatoes (one dark red (no purple this year, but supposed to be sweet) and one old fashioned-both the little ones) and 2 ea sweet banana peppers. I know that we can have snow through Mother's Day, but I'll try covering them. It's 72 outside, still none of the rain that was promised this week, so I watered well too,

Good Luck to all!

I would never pay $2 for a single plant, ever ! Most of those are bigger than what can be had in the 4 or 6 paks for under $3 and don't produce as well. JMO I usually get my plants at a local hardware store or local greenhouse or start them from seed

Ended up winning $200, still have casino chips I have no idea how to use. got $50 in food vouchers each and 2 hotel rooms. Feel kinda stupid that I saved all my coins for months so I could take them to the casino only to find out they dont take coins!!! My pockets were bulging and I jingled with every step!! I know better next time!
Congrats
