I was once opposed to this stuff in a cache until I realized that everyone seems to hate something in all caches with stuff in them. Some don't like swag. Some don't like business stuff/advertising stuff. Some don't like coupons or discounts toward stuff. Some don't like jewelry, toys or bottle caps. Some even get upset if they find a gun in one. Wish I found a gun in one.
If I don't like the stuff in one, I ignore it and continue on. My kids see stuff on TV that sickens me more than anything they've seen in any cache and all they watch are channels I choose for them.
I've taught my children that different people have different beliefs and that it isn't fair to judge them.

The comments are directed at me, so no reason for you to be offended.
Completely untrue in the context of sexual harassment and inappropriate content on the forum.
It doesn't have to be something directed at me to be offensive or inappropriate. I may not speak for you, or others that see no problem with the quotes above, but that does not make my sensibilities about this subject any more or less "wrong".
Sexual harrassment?
If you think that is what has transpired you should hit the report button and let the mods deal with it.
But I haven't seen anything rising to that level.
I did report it to the mods, because a female (co-worker who was showing interest in the game) sitting next to me stated she'd never register on the forum with people like 'that' on here. Since I reported it about 24 hours ago and no action has been taken, I assume the mod's sided with you. But it did get reported.

5. Easy to filter out in PQs
OK, sorry for starting the negativity in a thread supposed to be about possitives. In all seriousness, when I am in a parking lot with a few spair minutes, I love a micro hidden in the parking lot. There is nothing better than finding a geocache when you are bored. My problem is that there never seems to be a parking lot cache in the parking lot that I am in.
I found six last Sunday and I also found six bee nests.

Is it condescending for a student who is trying to pay for collage to work at Starbucks in order to earn money? How is working for money condescending. Are you a communist? (not an insult, a real question) If not, I reall don't know where you are comming from. Working for money has always given me a feeling of honour. I could understand you suggesting that it was condescending if someone said they would give you a PM for nothing.
If it was a genuine offer to someone that could actually come over and cut his grass and he left off the "For Pete's sake", then maybe not.
But the post as written is condescending.
No, there is nothing condescending about a student working at Starbucks and no I am not a communist. But I do recognize when someone is talking down to me.
And I was dead serious about the offer. I 'work' twelve hours a day and a total commute time of 3 hours round trip. I have very little time to cache let alone cut my lawn. It was an honest offer to let anyone that needed the money that lives close by that the offer is there. The shed is unlocked, the keys are in the tractor. The edge trimmer is to the left by the door and a can of gas is near the white shed by the gate. If there is a truck in the driveway I'd suggest you knock or my wife might shoot you for thinking you're a thief. If no truck, have at it.
I'll definitely knock, and let your wife know you sent me.
Here I was being nice (1st time for everything) and you want me to be gelded? Thanks.

Oh for Pete's sake! If anyone needs the money, come mow my lawn and trim the edges and I'll give you 30 bucks (only one person each week).
When I was a kid, mowing lawns only earned me $11 per lawn. Times have changed!
Yeah, they sure have. When I was a kid, a top-notch job earned you $5.
If you saw my lawn, you might think it's worth thirty bucks.

That is condescending.
...Of course, I'll give you the membership here so I know you will not squander the 30 bucks on junk.
Now that could be interpreted as condescending...
Hence the smilie at the end.

Username on the gift subscription should be TheAlabamaRambler, thanks!
That's a long drive for 3o bucks.

My PM is due for renewal next month. I have a picture of a hottie geocaching in a tree that I am putting up for bids to pay for it. What's your bid?
Am I the only person here that doesn't think the lewd direction this thread took is inappropriate and degrading?
I was highly offended and peeved that people that don't like kids on this board act like kids themselves. But they've been here longer then me so it is not my place to judge. However, if they had made those statements about any woman in my family, in my presence, they would of gotten a mouthful of fist.

Good point. I paid some kid who had rented an aerator $40 to do my (small) lawn. You could make enough money to buy your PM, a new GPS, and laptop in an afternoon doing that...
But who wants to do that when you could be finding LPCs right?
I earned that much mowing lawns all weekend long and that was for regular spending money in the 70's. I had to mow 6 lawns to do it. It boogles my mind that people in today's age can't get the money. I don't believe they can't get it. I believe they won't get it.

Why? I offered to pay your membership for a service. That is how life works. You mow my lawn. You EARN 30 bucks. Of course, I'll give you the membership here so I know you will not squander the 30 bucks on junk.

Sometimes you see these old inspector tabs nailed on. A round piece of metal anout the size of a quater with a nail thru the middle. Check those. If there is a sign on the pole, look on the back of the sign.

Ammo boxes are fun for the swag but too easy to find. Micros on the other hand prove a bit more of a challenge.
-
I think they're doing a pretty good job the way it works right now. Why try to enlist the massses when the masses don't want to play? I've told about 80 people about this and only one seemed interested enough to try it herself.

The truth never hurt...well not often.

I've found a few (30) caches that are similar to what you are talking about. I think as long as you don't dig with a tool, it should be allowed. But that is just my opinion.

To see the excitement on a childs face when they find the ammo can. It's like Christmas. It dosen't matter what is in there. They'll touch every piece and try and decide if it is worth as much as what they have in their swag bags to trade with. I like to ask them why they made the choice they did. It fills me with pride when they state that, they took something of very little value (to me) and dropped off something of a lot of value (to me) so the next kid would have something nice to find.

It is a sad craftsman that blames his tools for his shoddy workmanship, or something like that. The GPS is a tool. It still takes a brain to utilize it. I've seen people drive into rivers, into ditches, into ravines, gully's and a lot of other places, just by depending on their GPS device because it told them to go there. I know of some people who were driving at night and drove straight from point A to point B cross country with no headlights. It took a Chinook helicopter to go pick up their vehicle, it was so wedged up in a draw on the side of a mountain.
When I let my son use his gps to take us to a cache, we seem to take the worst route in. Usually because his face is so engrossed in that little screen, he dosen't see the change in the vegatation to see that there is a trail to it twenty feet away. I let him lead in. I show him the easier way out.
-
So you never actually saw the cache?
-
Swag is for the kids. The hunt is the only reason I do it. My trunk is now full of swag.

The only way to climb a tree is barefoot. Also, that is the best way to go running.
Can We All Agree That Religion Does Not Belong In Geocaching?

Sweet potatoes are only good for one thing and that is in a bait pile so when a deer walks up and lowers it's head to feed, I have a perfect shot. I am offended that you would waste perfectly good bait pile stuff on people!
