And all the non-trackables people are mentioning in here are being mentioned just for trade, right?
RIGHT?
Never sold my cat coins and never will they are too much of me

Great to see some of the old names againand to look through my albums and see their coins. Im still about but doing very few caches at the moment - Messed up a leg a few years ago so didn't get ouit for a year or so but at that time many cachers from this forum were playing Mafia Wars which kept me sane after the operation. Just a quick nopte to say have posted out the "Cats" that people have asked for - I am not unsociable but the english postal service will charde more if you put a letter in a small package - so just a coin in the envelope.
Anybody want one can have one - let me know - Icant trade in person cause I am in the UK! sad and happy!!!
regards

Do you remember when there was only a few coins and.creating new coins for love not money, The non trackables that people collected by swapping like cigarette or bubble gum cards. The excitement of the new icons you could put on the profile - long before souvenirs and other flashy stuff, Waiting to get a Georgia Peach – sold out in minutes. How we all tried to collect them all. I think Moops along probably did!. The whole thing exploded and then suddenly they were ezerywhere for everything.Mystery coins came along to keep it going, I then dropped out as I couldn’t keep up with it all. After a few years I have popped in to see what is going on and I see we still have the odd cointest and Maths trades. I still treasure my hundreds of coins and the good people I contacted through them – Thank you all.
I also still have a load of my own Chester Cat non-trackables if anybody is interested in such things let me know

Not recently - about 4 years ago the other half and I were out on an FTF mission at about 3 in the morning.. we had walked about 2 miles to the cache location, and faild to find it. We were walking back when a truck approached us (it was a private road so we certainly weren't expecting anyone else to be about.)
The truck stopped and questionned us as to why we were out there at that time of night, and as we had our GPSs glowing in our hands, we told him.
He offered us a lift back to the carpark, and my ex enthusiastically thanked him and told me to hop up into the cab.
As I hopped up - I saw it.... glistening in the light... a rifle...
I was petrified, but the driver stayed good to his word and dropped us at the car park.
Later I asked the ex why the hell he had made me get into a cab with a guy with a rifle... he said - I'd rather be sat next to a guy with a rifle than have him take aim at us from a distance....
Eeeek - not an experience I'd like to repeat.
And to think I paid good money for the hit!!!!!

Name - Nimrod (It means - the mighty hunter)
Tip - Get him interested in looking at where you either point or move a twig with your foot - you look so less obvious waiting for a dog to sniff around a tree than when you are trying to see the darned box in the ivy!!!
(Of course if he is a smart dog train him to look for tupperware and you just do the walking!!!!)

okay the Family has left for Canaan - had to be the first stop and now they are in your hands. I will send the first missioner a list of 3 destinations to choose one. I will then send that person a list of three ad infinitum until we run out of people!
When you get an E mail from me please chiise where you ewant to send them next and let me know so I can make sure they visit all. If anyone else wants to play there are still a few "berths"

sorry if I didnt really explain this very well let me try again
the blessing mission is a single coin mission which is supported by either something personal or local to your area
So you will receive
1) Mary joseph and donkey
2) Book for comments, thoughts reflections special prayer whatever
3) A trackable coin to keep
4) A persoanl item - souvenir, path tag sig item Or/and a local item
You write a thought in the book, take and replace the coin and the other item and send the book Mary Joseph and donkey to the next person on the list
to join I do need names and addresses but there is no formal close date as long as the travellers turn up at my stable next christmas!!!!
I Hope this helps
BOB
ps can I have your address to put on my list
-
any more takers?

We have a tradition of Joseph, Mary and a donkey to visit houses before turning up in church on the christmas carol service. They have a little book for people to add comments photos etc.
I was wondering if this might be a nice idea for a mission the idea os to send a trackable coin and a personal item along with the book and Mary Joseph and the donkey with your thoughts and best wishes. I have a suspicion that the coming year might be a tough one and we could all do with the blessing of a visit from the Holy Family
I would be happy to start it off and would like to have at least 20 participants. they must be forwarded within 2 weeks Obviously the family and book would love to go to events to bless people. I would love to see them back here for christmas 2009
Tell me to get lost for being a mystic
if you like but hey I could do with being blessed this year 
wishing one and all a blessed New Year.Bob
If you want to be involved I need your address and I'll get it started - My name is Bobpercey and I am at AOL.Com if you need to know!!!!
timed ou thought the message worked!!!!!

We have a very simple tradition we eat christmas dinner on Christmas eve so we do not have to cook and mess on christmas day when the boys ant to play with their toys. We adopted this when we came back from working with street kods in Brazil as it was a tradition there so we could do their dinner on christmas day

Yes, they are called "proxy" or "copy" coins.

What's with these "bogus" discoveries of my coins????

I have had several logs on coins that no one else have ever seen - not been to events, or had photos taken - just in my albums! Do Groundspeak have an anti hacking policy?. It is not as though I haven't paid for the Code and icon!!!
