  1. I run into the same issue. The work around that I've found: On your phone, clear your cookies. Then, when you connect to the forums again, you will see the mobile-optimized version again, and it will not affect your PC. If you change the theme on your phone, it will change on the PC as well, and you'll have to delete your cookies again. Of course, deleting your cookies means you have to sign on again. I don't see any other way around this, at this time.
  2. I made a log roller to help with this. It allows me to roll the log quite tightly, and it will almost always fit back in the blinkie.
  3. It never ceases to amaze me how many people cannot identify humor when they see it. Maybe a whole bunch of smilies will help:
  4. I think the OP is onto something here. The pricing structure needs a bit of adjustment, just not quite the way the OP envisioned. Proposed new pricing structure: Basic Membership - Free - (but you still have to post a credit card number, just like all those "free trial" sites out there. You'll see why in a minute.) Premium Membership - $3.00/month or $30.00/year Logging: Well thought out, descriptive, or entertaining logs - free. Each TFTC or log you post - $1.00 per post up to 10 posts. 10-50 such posts per year - $45.00 50+ TFTC or log posts per year - $250.00 Caches: Quality caches in scenic or interesting areas - free. magnetic blinkies or keyhiders on sign posts or guardrails - $2.50 each Any cache page containing the word "stealth" - $5.00 each Puzzle caches that I can't solve - $10.00 each Any cache that needs maintenance for more than 30 days - $50.00 each
  5. Hmmm, my husband and I do things like that (with each other, people! ). But we're a bit weird. You two are awesome! Anything is possible, but I'm 100% convinced I witnessed a meet in the park adultery necking session. And one that really ticked me off, because I couldn't look for the cache! I also remembered I did also witness a whoopee session in the woods as a teenager. They didn't so much as even notice I walked by, best I can tell. That was way before Geocaching though. Way, way before. Dude, free porn! Geeze! Talk about gift horses... Like 90% of the adult population, I will not publicly admit to being interested in, or looking at porn. Especially online. Almost 100% guaranteed pop-ups and Malware? No thanks. Pop-ups? Guaranteed. I still want to know how the two of you know so much about this. Where do you go when you're not here?

  7. Wouldn't that be like finding your own cache? If you were the only participant. I'm surprised no one is claiming FTF yet First to Fondle???
  8. Come on, now. You've been around long enough and spent enough time in the forums to know that coming to the forums to ask for help with puzzle caches is frowned upon.
  9. Love it!!! I'll have to remember that one!
  10. All the finds on all the caches on my area should be nullified, so that I can be FTF on all of them, regardless of how long they've been around, or how many people before me have inconsiderately claimed to have found them before I did. This is especially true of those caches placed before I began caching. Since I wasn't a cacher when they were originally published, the people who signed before me had an unfair advantage on claiming all those finds before I had a chance.
  11. You don't always need instant notification. My only FTF was out for a week before I found it. STF was a month after that. More recently, it went from November 2011 until August 2012 without a find. I'm not an FTF hound, by any means. On that one FTF, I noticed it two days after it was published. (I don't have my phone set up to receive notifications, and only saw it on a weekly update.) A few days later, I noticed that it was still not found, and decided to go out there after work. It was a located a little way out of town, so most of the people around here probably never saw it. In fact, most of the people in my area who typically claim FTF didn't find it until it had been out for months. (I do have another find that might qualify as FTF, but I didn't claim it. A cache disappeared, and its hide location was destroyed. Another cacher put out a replacement (with permission of the CO) in a different spot. It was a completely different hide, and was about 75' away from the original, but used the same listing. When I logged it, I jokingly referred to being the first to sign the new log. )
  12. Here ya go http://coord.info/GC1A29V has absolutely nothing to do with the OP, though...just like your post. Oooh, oooh! I'm going to log "FTF from my living room." on this one. No one else has posted an arm chair log yet, so I can. (and even if they had, I'd still be first from my living room) :laughing:
  13. Yes, only perverted single people... That said, they are not family friendly. Infact they are the number one cause of childless couples, and small families. If not for those little guys, I think I would have 10 kids by now. Any just why are small families not friendly?
  14. My first one was a full ammo can hidden right off a walking trail not far from home. The second was a bison tube in a hole drilled in a rock not far away. I didn't know what a bison tube was, so DD used her phone to ask Cha Cha. To this day, I don't know how I came up with the coordinates for them, since I hadn't created an account at that point. (At least if I did create an account, I've never again figured out what it was.)
  15. I'm right there with you. When I open a cache, I find the log book and sign it. I very rarely even look at the other contents of the cache. I do carry some swag to trade, but hardly ever do it. It became so rare that I'd find anything I was interested in taking, that I simply quit looking.
  16. When you are selecting the lamppost, find the one with a damaged skirt, or modify the skirt to allow rain to get to the cache. Alternately, go out every few days and put a few drops of water in the container, ensuring that the log gets good and damp. When people complain that the log is just mush, post a note to the cache page chastising them for whining.
  17. Just for the record, I adopted a cache that is a magnetic key holder just like that. It's been out for over 3 years and is still dry as a bone. It's not even under extremely good cover, but it is enough to keep it completely dry. The only problems I've had with it are once, a magnet came out of it, and it had to be replaced, and once it completely disappeared, and had to be replaced. Key holder does not mean wet. You just have to be aware when you hide it that it is not remotely waterproof, and hide accordingly. I've come across others that are well hidden and dry, and some that are poorly hidden and wet. It's all in how you do it.
  18. Aside from the obvious humor in the "penalties" at the bottom, I'm not sure what this sign in trying to say. This lot is reserved if you are on the premises, but is not reserved if you are not on the premises? It's illegal to NOT park here? It's illegal to NOT park one of the listed vehicles, but the other vehicles are optional? I'm so confused!!!
  19. Sure you could. You agreed to give up geocaching. On the moon, it would be lunacaching, so you'd still be within the rules, and you'd get to keep the money. Nice try, but the question was 'would you give up caching?' Darn! I didn't go back and look at the original post in that thread. My memory is starting to go!

  21. In know that it's sacrilege, but I actually use my L&Ls for food. <hangs head in shame and slinks from the room.>
  22. Now that brings up an interesting question - You've built a convincing replica of a USPS drop box. I don't notice that this isn't genuine, and I put my mail inside it. The mail obviously doesn't get delivered because the USPS doesn't collect from this box, and you don't go empty it twice a day. Who's at fault? What are the legal ramifications? Do you have any liability for misdirected mail? Can you be charged with theft of US Mail? That's not something I'd like to test. It sounds interesting, but I think I'd have to put it somewhere where it is obviously NOT a USPS mailbox, like out in the woods.
  23. I've only had one snake encounter while caching. I spotted the cache in it's hidey-hole, and pulled it out. Someone had left a small rope tied to it, but I didn't pay it a lot of attention, as I climbed back up to stable ground to open the cache and sign the log. That is, until the "rope" started coiling around my arm. It was at that point I discovered that the "rope" was actually a Prairie King Snake roughly 16" long. It was a cool day, so it was fairly lethargic, but it did keep striking at me. I finally managed to get a grip on it and get some pictures. When I was putting the cache back in it's hole, there was another, smaller one in there, but I didn't manage to grab it for more pics.
  24. Only in so far as I have to be continually checking the security settings for the accounts for my wife and kids. I refuse to use TwitFace.
  25. Actually I would have to disagree with that. Apps from an official source such as the ITunes app store go through a process of scanning for malware prior to being posted for download. I would assume the official android marketplace is similar. Nope, you're falling for the market hype. Do a search on "Apple App Store Malware" or "Android Market Malware." They are most certainly out there, have been "officially reviewed and vetted," and published in these "safe" repositories.
