  1. electronic harassment/ stalking site. some would say paranoid schizophrenic, some would not.
  2. I turned one into a Zombie Survival Kit for my daughter when she goes off to college. what's in that?
  3. I cache in a potato sack all the time- but I wear it like a dress.
  4. So, is it your experience that items other than Travel Bugs will repel Zombies as well? Geocoins for instance, or good Tradeables like badges and bracelets and such? absolutely . actually, just this morning I made a before-work find at a cache called Sanitarium Oasis - I dropped the lid to the cache while I was signing the log- as i reached down to grab it ,a zombie came lurching out of the bushes. I held up my fuchsia box-o-swag ( full of handmade stuff, even for tiny caches) and the zombie just gasped in awe and slowly spoke " I ... will .... let ..... you........ live... cache on, awesome Swagstress"
  5. oh crap. I guess that means Armpit Caches are out.
  6. mememememee. had heard about it years ago, but as I had neither a GPSr nor a computer ( did t realize I could've done it a**-backwards with just a computer) . looked it up when I got my smartphone last year, and voila! here I am. yea, I cache with only a smartphone . wanna fight!??? []
  7. eek. makes me feel OLD when I remember " how old" my music is. thurston Moore is 53! Peter Murphy is 55. neither of whom are really "old" so to speak, it's just that when you realize 20 years have gone by in a blink..... anyways. Oxford comma. one of my pet peeves is the improper use of apostrophes . ( which I couldn't figure out how to turn that into a geoname. ) I also read fairly recently that about the oxford comma ( didn't even know there was a name for it) and how some scholars think it is unnecessary ( what?!?! ** gasps in horror **)
  8. you have to do a live update / full description every time to update the info displayed for the caches. sometimes I forget to do that ( like yesterday) and only to find out later when logging the finds that a particular cache ( in bad shape) had been archived.
  9. I think trading good swag builds immunity. the trash cachers ( rocks, paper, food, etc) are screwed.
  10. now I know what the thanksgiving turkey feels like.
  11. wow- I'm jealous ! maybe I won't have to retire to Alaska, I'll just move to WA. I've been up the Washington coast, on a road trip . didn't spend time in the big cities or go N of rte 90 but loved the northwest, ESP the coast. beautiful place. it's been in the 90s out here in NE Ohio. wanna trade?
  12. i always mention what we took/left in the online log- no particular reason, it's just kind of a habit I got into. I have some tiny sig items ( friendship pins) that are small enough to leave in every cache except tiny nanos. most of the ime micros don't have anything in them but the log, and I leave a little pin ( in a tiny ziploc). also, If you feel so inclined, you can leave more than one item in the cache- sometimes I add a few things bc the cache contents are a little sparse . I put everything in appropriately sized ziploc style baggies.
  13. someone did that with sig items . the same # is on each piece. And to make it even more confusing, the "trackable" page states you can keep them or pass them on. so when logging it as found it gets screwy. http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?guid=80299bb5-f84d-4094-a4cf-864948c2b74f
  14. cool site- I bookmarked it - looking forward to seeing it as you add more
  15. what? is there a cover charge for cachers under 21?
  16. I was self conscious the first handful of times , but after reading posts in the forums, etc , I got over it. I mean, I am aware of my surroundings but I don't worry about trying to be " stealthy" . my last stealthy move was waiting for a guy to carry his 12 pack of beer allllll the way across the very large mall parking lot before i got out of my car to grab a LPC. ( while on a lunch break from my work's inservice. )
  17. I am 37 , daughter 4 y/o , and son, 7 months. husband is 42 , but he thinks I'm nuts and doesn't come with us ( unless it is the occasional "hey stop here " on the way to a family function , etc .... ) so he doesn't count.
  18. I managed to grow up in the Maine woods and then move to Ohio, (where i spent lot of time trudging along trails and off-beaten paths) and never got poison ivy, oak, or the like for 37 years. then, on father's day of this year I was adding armloads of cut brush/decorative grasses to my daughter's fort . it was out the trees at the back of my parents' house I got some kind of poison something. and wow- what an annoying ITCHY pain in the butt. from the knees down , and on my forearms I look like .... well... I'll just say it's not a pretty sight. I still have no idea what I got into. but at least my daughter has a cool fort!, lol
