  1. quote:Opinions are an attack when they are spoken by the minority about the majority Actually, my experiance, is that the inverse is equally as true. All offense-taking is at the receivers end. I could say the sky is a pretty shade of blue and someone could take offense cuz they like the color of a sunset sky better. (I've known people like this). I've also known people you could walk up to and tell them they were <insert worse possible insult here> and they aren't fazed because they are confident in who they are and are not worried about what someone else thinks about them. I guess I'm somewhere in the middle... --------------------- Don't hurt me. I'm new here.
  2. quote:(OK, intolerant was a bad choice of words) Nope. I am so anti-abortion it isn't funny, but that guy was a terrorist. The quote was an UNDERSTATEMENT if anything... ...not to hijack the thread, of course. Sorry... --------------------- Don't hurt me. I'm new here.
  3. I hear there are quite a few geochaches in Iraq. Saddam just hasn't updated the website yet... Just kidding folks, move along. Nothing to see here. --------------------- Don't hurt me. I'm new here.
  4. It can be only if the reciever wants it to be. Having said that, I have no idea what you are talking about... --------------------- Don't hurt me. I'm new here.
  5. I don't think that's gonna fit in yer GeoCan! --------------------- Don't hurt me. I'm new here.
  6. My money is on the aliens! --------------------- Don't hurt me. I'm new here.
  7. quote:I am thusly confused: VIN number? You mean that the Vehicle Identification Number has a number of its own? Yes, as a matter of fact, it does... --------------------- Don't hurt me. I'm new here.
  8. Thanks everybody. I think I'll take Kealia's advice and find at least 10 of mixed difficulty. I've got all sorts of ideas that I'm 'borrowing' from the forums but nothing beats being in the woods... especially when you work 3rd shift and you feel like a vampire. It's just one more excuse to check out the local trails I never knew existed. As an aside, I'm only planning on one hide so I can keep it updated properly. I know me - if I bite off more than I can chew I'll end up neglecting it all. Thanks again for your replies everyone... As soon as I get comfortable with it I'll post it in here (unless that's bad form...?) --------------------- Don't hurt me. I'm new here.
  9. Ahhh, sweet mediocrity! --------------------- Don't hurt me. I'm new here.

  11. At what point in your 'career' did you decide that you had enough experience to create a cache? Would you recommend that someone new to the activity complete a set amount of 'finds' or just go for it? --------------------- Don't hurt me. I'm new here.
  12. Hmmm, grocery store bags. Small, light... and cheap! Just my style! Or reality, anyway :I *sigh* I like the trash bag in a film canister idea - If I create a cache soon, I'll put a few in there for people to take. Good idea Rubeeslpr! --------------------- Don't hurt me. I'm new here.
  13. My next handgun will Rugers new .17 cal rimfire revolver. That's stopping power! (no that is not a misprint, and it is a real firearm) --------------------- Don't hurt me. I'm new here.
  14. I don't think the GPS will work inside anyway. Check with your town clerks office for property maps - they should be able to tell you the owner. Perhaps they would give you permission to place it on the land somewhere nearby - make it a theme cache for Halloween or something... --------------------- Don't hurt me. I'm new here.
  15. Well, I'd like to pick up trash along the way, but I don't want to make a big event out of it. I can't see carrying a 30gal trashbag with me. What do you guys use? --------------------- Don't hurt me. I'm new here.
  16. quote:Why? Where there are free ones? Mainly because I want the topo maps with MapQuest... The proggy is a bonus. --------------------- Don't hurt me. I'm new here.
  17. Ah, thanks Anders. I was trying to use MS Hyperterminal to grab the track data. i didn't realize that it would not function this way. *sigh* Time to dig into the wallet and buy a real program... Alan - Yeah, I'll probably get the MapSource Topo CD. quakemap.com: the tinkerer in me ("down boy! sit!") will have to check out that site listing. To everyone: Thank you! If I weren't going GC'ing after I get out of work ("must... breath.. FRESH... air!") I'd hop right on them. I'll do them when I get back. No sleep for this boy... ... --------------------- Don't hurt me. I'm new here.
  18. As my name implies, I an new to this whole thing, so I read the forums to try and get as much information and advice as I can get. Granted, I've only been on less than a week... The poster that follows me owes me money and STILL hasn't paid me off. I'm calling a collection agency. His name is 'Tony', and he carries a Louisville Slugger... JUST KIDDING! Don't arrest me... --------------------- Don't hurt me. I'm new here. [This message was edited by New England n00b on September 12, 2003 at 02:37 AM.]
  19. quote:And if you get kicked in the balls, your doing something wrong .. Lemme say that again... ""... so true...*winces* Kealia - OK, just so long as you understand where this was originally coming from, and not a blanket gay-bashing crusade... Over-arching assesments (& subsequent bashing) of entire communities, be they religious, homosexual, racial - whatever - is wrong. I get annoyed when people do that - so I tend speak up. It's all good. --------------------- Don't hurt me. I'm new here.
  20. Congrats - i did my first one on Tuesday, also with an eTrex Legend! Good luck and have fun! --------------------- Don't hurt me. I'm new here.
  21. quote:Edit: and, as chance would have it, kenpo is one of the only martial arts I would recommend for self defense. Saw thats what you took in your profile. Ed Parker was quite a man. After I get along in Kenpo, I'm thinking about adding Jeet Kun Do, as Mr. Parker & Bruce Lee worked closely on the systems together for a time. Very interesting stuff... AND FUN! --------------------- Don't hurt me. I'm new here.
  22. quote:Very few martial arts in america can train you to fight. Mine does... Anyone taking a martial art needs to first understanf WHY they are taking. Sport, defense & excercise are NOT the same thing, and different arts fits each role better than another. I chose self-defense (Kenpo) and I love it. quote:Also, yes, it is psychos who are scary and chase people around, but the people in this thread automatically associated psychos as being gay. Well, in this case, they happened to BE gay - it's not new news. It happens. But just because one is talking about a nutcase that is gay, it does not mean they are talking about a super-cool nice guy who is gay. Gay just happens to be a common denomintor. Just like a nutcase straight is not the same as a super-cool nice-guy straight... Sometimes it seems people are too sensitive on the gay issue to accept that there are people of all types within each catagory... --------------------- Don't hurt me. I'm new here.
  23. Whoah... ditto for me. Great question! --------------------- Don't hurt me. I'm new here.
  24. quote:So now the topic starter of this thread makes up a website with everyone's worst fear in mind, which is apparently gays. Rather dissapointing. *sigh*, No, not gays... PSYCHOS. There is a huge difference. With all this 'tolerance' enforcing, people get this knee jerk reaction of "if it sounds like homosexuality, then you must ALWAYS talk nice about it. OR ELSE". The point here isn't 'gayness', it's 'nutjobness'. If find it equally dissapointing people don't want to allow discussion of such a topic. Seriously - this is can happen to anyone, and it's always good to be prepared to handle the subject appropriately... (Which is why (IMO) everyone, especially young girls, should take a martial art) --------------------- Don't hurt me. I'm new here.
  25. quote:Feel free to flame away. Odds are I won't be reading this thread anymore as the lack of tolerance and common courtesy here is sickening. Since when does any of this equate to intolerance? Are you saying that it would be okay for a man to 'geo-stalk' a female cacher? Would it be ok for a man to walk up to a complete stranger and ask her for *G-rated edit*? Would it be OK if he didn't take no for an answer? Would it be OK for him to follow her around in his car? If the answer to these questions is 'no', then why is it ok for man to do it to another man? We aren't talking about two guys minding their own business here. We are talking about a potentially dangerous situation for a GC'r. [flame]And speaking of intolerance, how do you justify slamming on a guy with religious beliefs when he is talking about defending himself if it were necessary? I really want to follow your belief system now: you must love everyone!!! ... except them![/flame] (also - in northern MA some rest areas were shut down for this very reason - so called 'men' had this thing about hiding in the bushes. Since there were no lavatories, travellers would go off in the bushes and... well... you get the picture. They closed them down years ago, and are slowly replacing them with proper rest areas (well lit, appropriate structures.) --------------------- Don't hurt me. I'm new here.
