I keep thinking about Harry from Harry and the Hendersons

I received a Geo_Bandit coin (#270) in todays mail and it is a great looking coin. I am touched that of all the cachers in the world to choose from that the Geo_Bandito thought of ME. I am honored to accept this gift and I thank you with all my heart whomever you may be. Peace. Jim jAY miLLS

Hmmm .... I have been known to leave a "note" on my personal if/when I find one activated just to leave the story that is behind the coin for those who might be interested. I figure if someone objects they could just delete the note. I hope this is ok, but at least I haven't gotten a complaint anyway.

Will trade 2007 Lackey coin for a Groundspeak volunteer coin. I am becoming very selective in the coins wish to obtain the Tombstone Justice coin (because I love the movie), the Swiss no smoking coin by Black Box, any Templar (reminds me of Arthurian Literature which I enjoy), Pay It Forward coin (thougth I had one but the deal failed to transpire). I don't have many remarkable coins but am willing to trade multiple coins to get these coins I desire. I will get a list of my traders together soon. Thanks

Attended MWGB this past weekend and while walking - albeit with a slight wobble - back to our camp from area 51 late Friday night Mrs jAY miLLS pointed to my chair and says "Whats that?" there in the bottom of my chairs cup holder was this wonderful coin. What a delight. I went to bed with a smile only to be awakened by my wife yelling in her sleep: "SHE'S ON FIRE DAMMIT SOMEONE PUT HER OUT!" But that is another story . . . . . Thank you so much for thinking of me, I feel very honored and blessed. Peace

I am not sure this is a lynch mod or a number of people who have had a bad experiance all coming together now that someone started talking. Come on MikE, I said quite a bit don't use one snippet and throw spin on it. I have no problem with folks who wish to "share their experiences". That is what this forum is for. Putting the snippet you used in context what I did say is: "To some of the posters here - some who I admire alot - I am disappointed that this has turned into a lynch mob of sorts. Understand, I am not condoning how Paula has conducted business. I am also not suggesting that your experiences should not be shared, but if we (you) are honest about this some of these sharp comments that are aimed at Paula are based in part on personality differences." These folks know who they are and if honest with themselves, know there is a personality conflict that has a way of creeping into these types of differences. That is just human nature. This is why I suggested a 48 hour cooling off period to let everyone one both sides of this issue digest what has happened here. I have said my last on this matter. Peace

I was trying real hard to avoid posting to this thread but here I am and I will try to keep this short: First I want to acknowledge that I like Paula, but there are those on the other side off the isle - some have posted here - that I equally admire. That being said I am appalled by the way many have conducted themselves in this thread. Paula, you need to get over yourself, set your ego aside, and step up to the plate and do some serious damage control if it isn't to late to do so. You need to do this for your personal reputation as well as your business reputation if you don't want this issue to spill over to your "own design" coin sales. As someone already mentioned negative word of mouth fads much slower than positive word of mouth. Rather than putting the blame on the customer and making excuses deflecting your own culpability you should have immediately came out with a simple statement of sorts saying that you got in over your heading and it overwhelmed you. That you didn't want to disappoint your customer but you were afraid to come forward and admit this shortcoming and it snowballed out of control and you are very very sorry to those who were hurt or words to that effect........you get where I am going. As good PR you should have given a 100% refund and the art work completed to the OP for making him wait for over a year and to smooth things over. I suspect the OP would have been thrilled and despite a year long wait I suspect he would have had good things to say about how you dealt with the situation. I say these things to you because I like you not because I want to hurt you. To some of the posters here - some who I admire alot - I am disappointed that this has turned into a lynch mob of sorts. Understand, I am not condoning how Paula has conducted business. I am also not suggesting that your experiences should not be shared, but if we (you) are honest about this some of these sharp comments that are aimed at Paula are based in part on personality differences. To the Moderators - I suggest shutting this thread down for 48 hours to cool down and give everyone here the opportunity to reflect on their role. Peace People

Ain't this fun . . . Good job GSA!

Congratz to all the recent recipients of this wonderfully meaningful mystery coin.

Thank You!

Suffice it to say lessons were learned on both sides of this issue. Lets just move on already. Peace.

GSA- The V2 looks like it might be trackable, could this be so? As for Geocaching Goodness, I was attending a night bonfire event in Greenfield WI last fall and one little boy had injuried himself (nothing serious but you know how kids can be) looking for a cache so reached into my bag of traders and gave him a random coin to make his injury worthwhile and to turn a frown and a tear into a smile and laughter. May the gods smile upon you for creating smiles and laughter. Peace. One People, One Love

me neither. Ditto Me also but I know a few who do. . . ..

Well Done!!!!!

One People, One Love . . . . . . Peace! Thank You VERY much! I shed a tear. jAY miLLS, rAsTa HeArT

Fantastic News !!! Can't wait for the posts to begin.

Great day to be out this past weekend so Mrs. jAY miLLS and I thought we would check this cache on top of a local ski hill for one of our missing coins. I had dropped a coin here this past winter and got reports it might be missing. Lots of thistle to contend with en route and quite a climb but not nearly as challenging as it was this past winter. When we got to the top we had to wait out a half dozen muggles sharing the space and enjoying the view so we sat down and waited about 45 minutes to approach the cache. When we finally got there we didn't find the missing coin (sorry Vegas Gamblers, I marked it as officially MIA) but did find a Geo_Leprechaun coin much to the wifes delight WOW. Now I can't help but wonder if one of those muggles was the Geo_Leprechaun him/herself. Now if only I can get the wife to caress me like she was caressing that coin on the way home lol Thank you for your generousity!

I'm glad you received it Jim. Hope it brought a smile to your face Yes it did. And is special for reasons you know about.

Got a BRoKeN W 2008 personal + Pin which means alot to me. Thanks Kelly and Rick.

Great coin. Congratz Tsun and Cav Scout. One Love, rAsTa HeArT

Congratulations Jolene! Nice find.

Very kewl coin. Love the Koi fishes. Very nice. Got my fingers crossed.

WOW!! That is awesome. Might have to break open the piggy bank for this one!

Though I am not a Mystery Coin giver, thank you, I know that was difficult for you and from first hand experience know it is difficult to see past self at times.
