Me ER doc.
Her ER tech--working on RN.
We met at work
. We go caching weekdays and weekends--my schedule changes every week. I prefer to go during the week because the parks are much less crowded.
PS Sparky--love the homepage. At least the M-80 guy still has a few teeth left...
So you get to say things like. "Nurse! Kiss me, STAT!"

Ewwwww contraceptive retrieval....theres a job I'd pass on. Years ago my mother ran the radiology dept at a VERY busy DFW Hospital. One night this.........oh I can't say it here, but there where x-rays. Very unpleasant x-rays.

Is this going to be on the test?
Very interesting, but while interesting what does possessing this knowledge gain me. By that I mean, what can I do with this info or is it information for informations sake. Which is a good thing in and of its self. I'm just a little confused.
No disrespect intended at all.
I think what this all means is that you are going to gradually become a very busy pony....sadle up.

I heard somewhere that reading outdated news print is PPP code for "Receiver on the prowl." Of course, I could be wrong.

Erasers might be good....as long as they aren't real rubber, the tree hugger people get mad about that. Your slogan could be:
"Erasers, the anti-lead"

Originally I purchased the plaster of paris with the intent of making molds to cast lead in. We came up with a few interesting ideas but abondoned the concept after reading up on the dangers of lead. The Plaster of Paris mold works fine as a mold with one exception:
It is exceptionally important that you bake ALL the moisture out of the mold. And by that I mean several hours at + 250 degrees Farenheit.
Hot metal + moisture in mold = flash boiling lead
Very dangerous, I imagine pewter would be similiar.
Please be careful if you do this. Biggest risk with the plaster impressions is some clay in my finger nails.

Now there is a paternity suit I never imagined.
Navdog said something about magnets so I tried glueing a piece of business card magnet onto the back of a coin. Holds very nicely. Thanks Navdog!
Edited to add magnet idea from ND.

No, I don't mind at all. I have to admit they LOOK alot nicer than they are. But they meet my sig item requirements ( cool and inexpensive
). Hopefully my fellow cachers will think they are as neat as I do.I invested about $20 in supplies, should be enough to do a few hundred of these "coins".
The hardest part was finding something to PRESS. I tried carving a few things but was never happy with the result. The emblem is actually one of my shower curtain rings. I didn't know what they where when I bought them, just liked it.
Press the emblem into a piece of non-drying modeling clay (play doo would probably work.)
Poured in some plaster of paris. (about half an ounce)
When dry, remove from clay and paint. ( I used 18k gold spray paint )
Thats it really, I am putting the coins into half size sandwich ziplocs with a description card and one of our Geocaching cards. Hope they hold up out there in the real world.

Whatever you do, don't draw attention to yourself....oops.

New Sig item? Took about 2 hours to make a dozen of these. They are about 1.5 x 1.5 inches. Now that I've got it down I think I can do it in about half that time. The character is Kokopelli, Indian god of fertillity. (Carrier of seeds and bringer of water)
Going to have to see how well these hold up in caches.
-
Why not? We did our first 3 locationless caches yesterday. Talking about ideas, Ani suggested a 'mime locationless'. Which sparked a whole long discussion about 'people oriented loctionless' caches. Mounted Police Officers, Homeless guy in a green sweater, Clowns, Congressmen, guy in a chef hat, guy dressed liked Neo, Harley guy.......This seems like so much fun.
-
On a positive note they block some of the voices in my head and stop the Venusians from reading my thoughts........all three of them.

Geocide - Caching yourself into a life or death situation. Flamming the forums, getting your feathers ruffled and quiting GC. ( for a few days).
Geomartyr - Performing Geocide in a gloriously wordy fashion.
Geopheonix - Geomartyr who returns with a new ID.

Then you have the PPPPP otherwise known as the Park Porta Pot Pooper Patrol. These are the people that hurry intot he porta pot after you have gone in there to make sure you were not doing anything illegal in there. They may be related to the PPWB's. What parks have you been hanging out in??
That would be a city park in the "ritzy" part of the town. They are the type that look down own people who are not in their financial stature. God forbid a lower class "commoner" like myself take a dump in THEIR park.
Well you do look like McGyver. Maybe they thought you used some duct tape, chewing gum and bodily fluids to turn the Porto-Potty into a thermo-nuclear device.
-
ok, I was going to do the PPP, Pickle Park Participant. But it just isn't funny.
-
What are you gonna do when they change the logo?
I have 4, they are the benchmarks of my life.
Ani has 2, but those 2 take up a fair amount of space on her little body.
It's been said above but I feel I should repeat...it is a very personnal choice, don't do it drunk or on a whim. I drew 3 of mine, they are originals and have signifigant meaning for me.
MOST IMPORTANTLY...when I got my first Tattoo I was 18 had long hair, played guitar.....I can't tell you how I knew NOT to get that Motley Crue Tattoo, but I'm thankful for it. The things that are sacred to you today may very well seem stupid to you 5 years down the road.

I haven't encountered many PW's but I have encountered many PPWB or Park Police wanna be's. The people that see you exiting bushes from the cache and give a judgmental stare and hurry along down the path to call the police because they are so sure you're doing something wrong back there. PPWB tend to be mothers in either a mini van or SUV with the soccer ball sticker on the back that is almost the size of a real soccer ball.
The ones I encounter more than anyother are LOG's or Lonely Old guys. You do a polite exchange of "hi there" or "hows it going" and 20 mins later your still inching away trying to detach yourself from the LOG's ramblings.
How does that guy manage to be in every park I am in? You'd think he moves slow but I can be all alone staring at my GPS then BAM, there is old guy with his little dog and a can of beer....and a story....without a point....or an end....
Edited for humor.

... and I would like to be in the top 10 all time posters in these forums. And do it while continuing to post nothing of any substance or relevance.
You'd better get to work...best I can tell GPS Saxaphone never sleeps.
Would you be able to sleep if you always had a saxophone hanging out of your mouth? I think it's permanently attached!
Atleast he isn't blue anymore.

I prefer the term technically inclined. If the above comment was directed at my(our) "sense of humor" (attempt at humor if you choose) then yes, we are nerds. Obviously we are not alone.
We should start a group, something techy but athletic that will appeal to a wide range of people, catch on world wide and then the nerds WILL RULE THE PLANET.
Oh, wait a minute....that's geocaching. Now If I can just figure out which end of the stick I'm on.

Now come up with the Clap Elk hunt and I am in.
I was told "the clap" was something you wanted to avoid at all costs, and you want to get it from a MOOSE ?!?!!?
I was trying to be subtle.
I said ELK. Moose Clap? No way.

* Parking Lot Staring Guy - this PW is the most common type. They sit in their car and stare at nothing and everything, all at once. Normally, their car windows are up even though its hot oustide. As you drive in, park, and exit your vehicle the PLSG will never glance, wave, smile, or otherwise acknowledge your presence.
Should we specify which way he has parked? Cause if he backed into that parking space................

I thought it was a McWilly?
Cholo, that was brilliant. thank you for sharing.
