Very nice design. I am definitely interested.

Emailed to me:
Calling in sick to work makes me uncomfortable. No matter how legitimate my excuse, I always get the feeling that my boss thinks I'm lying.
On one recent occasion, I had a valid reason but lied anyway, because the truth was just too darned humiliating. I simply mentioned that I had sustained a head injury, and I hoped I would feel up to coming in the next day. By then, I reasoned, I could think up a doozy to explain the bandage on the top of my head.
The accident occurred mainly because I had given in to my wife's wishes to adopt a cute little kitty. Initially, the new acquisition was no problem. Then one morning, I was taking my shower after breakfast when I heard my wife, Deb, call out to me from the kitchen. "Honey! The garbage disposal is dead again. Please come reset it."
"You know where the button is," I protested through the shower pitter-patter and steam. "Reset it yourself!"
"But I'm scared!" she persisted. "What if it starts going and sucks me in?"
There was a meaningful pause and then, "C'mon, it'll only take you a second. "
So out I came, dripping wet and buck naked, hoping that my silent outraged nudity would make a statement about how I perceived her behavior as extremely cowardly. Sighing loudly, I squatted down and stuck my head under the sink to find the button. It is the last action I remember performing.
It struck without warning, and without any respect to my circumstances. No, it wasn't the hexed disposal, drawing me into its gnashing metal teeth.
It was our new kitty, who discovered the fascinating dangling objects she spied hanging between my legs. She had been poised around the corner and stalked me as I reached under the sink. And, at the precise moment when I was most vulnerable, she leapt at the toys I unwittingly offered and snagged them with her needle-like claws.
I lost all rational thought to control orderly bodily movements, blindly rising at a violent rate of speed, with the full weight of a kitten hanging from my masculine region. Wild animals are sometimes faced with a fight or flight syndrome. Men, in this predicament, choose only the "flight" option.
I know this from experience. I was fleeing straight up into the air when the sink and cabinet bluntly and forcefully impeded my ascent. The impact knocked me out cold.
When I awoke, my wife and the paramedics stood over me. Now there are not many things in this life worse than finding oneself lying on the kitchen floor buck naked in front of a group of "been-here, done-that" paramedics. Even worse, having been fully briefed by my wife, the paramedics were all snorting loudly as they tried to conduct their work, all the while trying to suppress their hysterical laughter....
...and not succeeding.
Somehow I lived through it all.
A few days later I finally made it back in to the office, where colleagues tried to coax an explanation out of me about my head injury. I kept silent, claiming it was too painful to talk about. Which it was.
"What's the matter?" They all asked, "Cat got your tongue?"
If they only knew!

Is there an update?
-
Will there be any more auctions for the glitter geocoin?
-
Will there be a waiting list for the antique silver guns that people turn in?
-
I love my one and only mystery geocoin. It has special meaning to me and I would never sell it. It has much more meaning than money.
-
Use a bubble mailer, usually a plastic material, from your local post office or mailing store. It will keep the envelope protected from slicing open from the coin moving around.
-
Wow. Those are gorgeous. What are the changes to be made?
-
Perhaps you should change the headline to reflect they will be available in April. March is longggg gone.
-
Yes, I understand the concept of limited but what I see is people being upset because their coins aren't special if others can buy them. There is a difference between something being special because of who or why it was given to you and being special because I have something you can't get or don't have.
-
They are absolutely stunning, great job.
-
I don't see a reason why Groundspeak has to make any statements to us about why they are selling the coins. I think it is funny that people want to be seen as special, "the chosen ones" in receiving the coins. It makes them feel good that they received one and don't want others to share in that "special" treasure. The lackey coins were becoming quite easy to come by in my opinion. I saw that more and more events had them, people were passing them around like candy. I have had three over the past year. I gave them all away to others who I felt would enjoy them more. I also had a volunteer coin that I tried to set free. These again are just coins so don't be upset when Groundspeak says instead of just a few people getting them, the masses can have them.
Making them available in unlimited quantities doesn't make them less special unless you think they are special because others don't have them.

What does the MOGA gun coin look like?

Dude, you posted the thread advertising your cache. People who couldn't view it, b/c they aren't PMs asked if you could change the status so they could see what you were advertising. A polite "no" would suffice.
I don't think it's entitlement to ask to be able to look at something which somebody directs you to look at.
Also, does every member of your caching family have their very own premium membership? b/c judging by your username, more than one person caches under your account.
One of those "whiners" can see your cache page and was merely commenting to support people who can't see it and may have been a little frustrated to learn that they were directed to look at something they cannot.
Interesting comment. So if you are a family using one premium account for all the benefits isn't that unfair? I as a single cacher shouldn't have to pay the same fees as one who uses their premium account for two or more people.

You are a bear magnet.
-
Why isn't it a good idea to tell this person that it isn't appropriate to sell something that doesn't belong to you? Personally I think you should contact ebay and tell them they are selling something they don't own and shut down their ebay account as against ebay guidelines.

For the folks who love coins (and bears!), here is our coin for this year! Hogwildstuff is our sponsor for our coin.
Many thanks to them!
The coin is currently only available for pick up at the event, so better pester friends of yours to get one or plan on attending. Lots of folks are "bookending" this event with GeoWoodstock.
Buster, our mascot, a wickedly unrepentant BearCub, has frightened a cacher away from one of the caches in Allegany State Park...evil child that he is!
The cache (and gps...dang, that cacher must have been in a hurry!) has been muggled!!
This coin is a trackable coin in a nickel finish, with a black glitter cub on the front. The back has a translucent enamel "pinewoods floor" and our event location coords just under the surface.
We have a committee version and a VERY limited (2 coins) fund-raiser version which we hope to get on ebay soon:
This is a gold finish with an extra glitter ammo can and the "golden gps" of the committee version.
Ohhhh, that is very sweet.
OH MY.
I ordered two. How do I get one of the committee bear coins? -
If I did not receive something I ordered I would come to the forums after calls and emails. I don't see where you were "bashing" them. Try sending them an email or call them, maybe they need a friendly reminder.
-
Any updates?
-
When will invoices start going out?
-
Why are they even allowed to host events when they took money from people and refuse to respond or deliver the coins? It seems that Groundspeak should shut down their account. This has gone on long enough don't you think?
Geocaching, and the forums and geocoins are separate entities. We cannot stop them from geocaching, having fun, enjoying themselves, or flaunting that they are. We cannot force them to respond either. They have been removed from the approved vendor list.
Maybe they had a chance to click on LadeBear68's link to this thread that was in the log, and read the results of their actions here, and see how many people are hurt by this.
I deleted the log because I figured you would bounce me for writing it. After seeing your post, I have put it back up.

Actually I pulled it.
