Retired: Marlboro Outwit the West Funny Farm

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 !

Im going to Silver Dollar City this weekend. Was supposed to have 2 rooms but tour place messed up. Its from the Corona win I got. Won $3000 in trip vouchers and so far she charged $500 for 2 rooms at the haunted hotel. They said it shouldve been $275. Casino trip was billed at $425 for 2 and the hotel says it only charged $300. Was charged $425 for this trip. Only reason I know how much everything is really costing is because I have had to call them and get them to pay for the rooms when Im checking in because I show up and nothing has been paid!
Added everything together with all trips and out of $3000 I only got $1800. She says she has to make a commission which I can understand but travel agents get a discount to begin with and in my opinion $1200 commission on a $3000 bill is ridiculous! I love Corona but have found out Modello is good too!


I got the email too but I won the speakers. I guess I would get5 more use out of a tote though
Hope you enjoy this trip. Yes, everyone tries to rip people off. Now contractor wants to add another $5,000 on for the removal of the extra flooring. He has me because all is exposed and rain is due. Don't know what I will do this time. Sam has to get involved.

Just remember if you dont like how much they say you are untitled to go all Gary on them till you get a better deal! Most people dont know they have the right and take what they are offered. you pay for insurance so you are covered!! Its their job to low ball you and they even get commission on how much they can save the company!!
Did you choose to hire the travel agent? or were you told to do that when you won?

Did the insurance guy take pictures??? He should have. Ask him for copies. You should have your own of the damage just in case you try to fight them on how much they will settle for. Not sure how they can say if there is mold then its from the storm since it takes time for mold to form. I would think the absence of mold would prove your case that it wasnt damaged before Sandy
I am all disoriented from all this. this contractor has me all upset raising the price each day. He is doing a correct job but not thousands more each time something else is discovered up there. I cannot wait until this is all over. I have a small limit on my policy for mold/mildew. would be happy to get anything. i don't know anything any more.

Why not tell him NO? Sam is capable of tarping it for rain, tell him Sam will remove the flooring and then he can continue.

Wouldn't think because you have signed a contract that you have to add to it....but you and Sam will do what works best for you

One day, while a blonde was out driving her car, she ran into a truck.
The truck's driver made her pull over into a parking lot and get out of the car.
He took a piece of chalk and drew a circle on the pavement. He told her to stand in the middle and not leave the circle.
Furious, he went over to her car and slashed the tires.
The blonde started laughing.
This made the man angrier so he smashed her windshield.
This time the blonde laughed even harder.
Livid, the man broke all her windows and keyed her car.
The blonde is now laughing hysterically, so the truck driver asks her what's so funny.
The blonde giggles and replies, "When you weren't looking, I stepped out of the circle three times!"
Good Morning Peeps
