I've tried very hard to stay out of this thread, but seriously. You can like and be friends with someone without condoning habits you feel are wrong or are not comfortable with. Like homosexuality, or smoking, or bad hygiene, or whatever. One trait does not make or define the whole person. The problem comes when it starts getting shoved in your face 24x7 to a point where it's the first and foremost thing you know about them. I have friends that are gay. Does that sound cliched? I don't care, they're my friends. They don't rub it in my face, I don't force my worldview on them. What they do in private is their business, not mine. Ask me what I think, I'll tell you without lying. Start labelling me a bigot or a homophobe because I'm a conservative Catholic, and no, I won't roll over and show my stomach. Homophobe is a highly inaccurate word, anyway. Anyone here have an irrational fear of gay people? I know I don't. And this has nothing to do with geocaching, so I'll don my flamesuit.

"Simple" mistake? Come on now... we're not talking about a typo here, Coldgears! You said you thought that the entire country of Canada was a U.S. possession. Wars have been waged over such "simple mistakes". Buck it up, dude... you said something absurd and you are going to have to take the hits for it. That's life in the forums. You mean... it's NOT??

You're killing me. But I'm not gonna take cides in this. It's all good. Except... DB = database? Or is that the programmer in me coming out?

Um, you do know what a geocide is, don't you? It's when someone throws a fit over something or other, archives all their caches (sometimes), declares they are done with geocaching and won't ever EVER post in the forums again, and leaves in a huff... and usually makes a new account or relogs on under the old one a week later and everything resets. Nothing so extreme as taking their own life. Ah, I see. Only wondering because some have recently geocided as well as suicided in this area. Either way, anything ending in -cide usually isn't too nice. The term geocide has about as much to do with suicide as it does with insectice, pesticide, or cider. I wouldn't worry about it... though I'm sorry people have suicided in your area.

Is that in good taste that you talk about geocachers who have took their own lives? Um, you do know what a geocide is, don't you? It's when someone throws a fit over something or other, archives all their caches (sometimes), declares they are done with geocaching and won't ever EVER post in the forums again, and leaves in a huff... and usually makes a new account or relogs on under the old one a week later and everything resets.

Me, on top of Frenchman Mountain on the eastern rim of Las Vegas, April 18, 2006. The name of the cache, oddly enough, was Frenchman Mountain; a 2/3.5 that involved a two hour hike - up an unshaded switchback road, a dip into a saddle, and then up a long unshaded path. (It was a lot faster going back down.) Well worth it for the view! Yes, there was a lot more to me then, than there is now, particularly around the stomach. And my hair was a mess, yep, it was windy, I had to hang onto the cache to avoid being blown off the mountain. But what a VIEW!

Fulfilling the mission of "JTBC-Travel To THE WALL Bug" - TBPYBE. This was one of the first travel bugs I ever moved. I took it from Nevada to DC to get a picture with two specific names on the Vietnam Wall, then dropped it off in a cache there. It made it's way back to the owner in California not long after - Mission Accomplished! I was so proud I could do this for someone I'd never met. It really meant a lot to them. And to me.

Sell everything and prepare for the end of the world. Something is VERY wrong here. VERY And it's not the picture of the foot.

Sure is! GC2YAYY - really! And I'll be there. *pause* Don't let that scare you away.

We need to add the rash of c:geocides on there somewhere... though I guess that's more a one-shot deal.

Oh, I don't know. From my perspective, it just looks like there are a lot of people that are throwing a fit and threatening to geocide because an outside developer decided to stop developing; somehow this is automatically Groundspeak's fault, not sure I understand why, but okay. But the more people that take their ball and decide to go home, the less motivation GS has to play, either. Wouldn't it be better to wait and see what GS develops now that c:geo is going away? Maybe that would motivate them to build a better product, since there no longer is one out there? Who knows? People who throw a tantrum and quit on account of this certainly never will!

Well, there's the weekly Breakfast at the Moose event, in Plattsmouth... Lunch at the Dugout in Omaha on certain Mondays, and every first Saturday, there's a breakfast in Ashland. You might want to join the Nebraskache mailing list, there's a lot of active cachers around the Omaha area. Including me, yes, I live in Bellevue.

Behold, Interstate River 29: Omaha lies in the background. Many caches have drowned here.

One. Everyone else is my sock puppet. Including the OP.

Makes sense!

Just a quick question - have you checked to see if the reviewer did reply and somehow it got sent to your spam folder? Hey, it happens. As to the rest - wow.

Not the person who actually stole it?

Well, there's this...

I am just glad both the cachers in this pesonal dispute that got out of hand live far away from me! Now that drdan has pulled this off, who knows where he'll set his sights next?

I'm waiting on a response from my reviewer. I've found the million dollar bill tracts and the GOOHF cards, and if things continue, I'll be ordering some. They come in packs of 100. I'll send you some in trade if you want. That goes for anyone else who has some interesting tracts out there! I'm getting Monty Python flashbacks at this point. "She has huge... tracts of land!"

Pictures from Bellevue, NE At least three of my caches are gone.

Short threads are never short.

*mutter**mutter*...monkeying around...*mutter**mutter* I'm done.

What would you call this? A premembercide? I rank it maybe a 6. Can't put it higher - the Facebook rant makes it lose points for originality. (And please, Groundspeak, no Facebook integration, ugh!)

I did that! They took my money, gave me an empty burger wrapper, and I went away, enlightened and pocket-lightened, to preach to the un-Big-Mac'ed masses about the evils of the so-called Jr. Whopper! (Oh, and there was this guy in there telling me how mean geoachers are.) Would you like fries with that?
