Actually, there is something better that Gold, platinum, and titanium! :laughing:

There is black membership.

But you cannot apply for it. :o They_will_contact_you if you qualify. :laughing::laughing:

Why does my GC membership card say "Aluminum"?
I don't know what mine was made out of. It rusted away in about 60 days.

Card? All I got was an email talking about not being worthy of the steerage level.

"If some Toogs are Bloogs and all Gleems are Bloogs, then some Toogs are definitely Gleems."

 

This statement is:

Not able to be definitely answered from the information provided. Some Toogs may be Gleems, in which case, they would also be Bloogs. Gleem-ness is not contraindicated by the state of Toog-ness in the statement above.

 

Buzzt! Wrong! The statement:

 

"If some Toogs are Bloogs and all Gleems are Bloogs, then some Toogs are definitely Gleems."

 

Is false, period. (Even without the word "definitely")

 

The question whether or not some Toogs are Gleems is undecided.

 

Nice try.

 

[The point is that the first part does NOT imply the second part so the whole statement is false.]

One of the Premium features is an Off Topic forum. Unfortunately some of the members there got loose and spilled over into the otherwise civilized and peaceful Geocaching Forums. Evidence of this is long strings of quoted posts, and posts made every few seconds.

 

I apologize for the inconvenience, repeat the word WORK every post and they will immediately retreat.

 

oh c'mon!! this thread deserved a derailment. :blink:

 

careful or i'll pay for another premium membership for the pig. :tired: i did it once and i'll do it again.

 

A better threat is to threaten to withhold Premium Membership from The Pig, forcing him to hang out out here all day. :blink:

OK but after reading all this I don't think I saw an answer to the real question!

If the PM didn't FIND the cache (the NPM did)...

while the PM has the TB ... did (s)he realy "find it"?

After all the PM didn't realy find the cache did (s)he!

So how could the PM log finding the TB w/o logging finding the cache?

Non-Premiums Shouldn't Make You Feel Sad Like That

 

I realize not everybody can make mid-six figures like my spouse. But just because you're not as fortunate as others, that doesn't give you the right to go around depressing paying cachers by trying to take the good trade items like travel bugs. That's my problem with regular geocachers: They spend all their time shuffling around with their tattered cache printouts and their cheap trade items, making you feel awful about having a premium membership and pocket queries. Well, I don't think they should make you feel sad like that. Of course the paying member gets first dibs on the bug!

 

Whether you're stopped at the park entrance in your H3 SUV, shopping for a new pair of Komperdell trekking poles, or strolling through the park, the non-premium freeloaders always seem to show up with their filthy CITO plastic bags seeking caches and travel bugs intended for us paying members. How depressing! Of course, the non-paying should be afforded a certain minimal level of human dignity, but they shouldn't get to lord their poverty over people.

 

If the non-premiums want to be treated better, they should understand that people like me want to be able to enjoy the view at the summit of a four star cache without having to look at some scabby CITO freak digging through the trash. If they must hang around caches, why not go to one star places like park and hides or shopping mall lots, where people more like them tend to associate? They shouldn't hang around the beautiful parks. Decent cachers want to enjoy their scenic hike without having to see a vagrant cacher taking up space on the trail. Nothing buzz kills the hunt faster.

 

And why hike on trails, anyway? Can't the gutter pups at least put the effort into bushwhacking through the bramble where I won’t have to see them? How can I head out on the trail loop on a frosty morning to enjoy a cup of spiced chai tea and a warm shelter building when, along the way, I have to trip over a non-premium huddled for warmth over the embers of a campfire? It's especially galling in light of the fact that my spouse pays hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes to buy places for these homeless people to sleep, and they aren't even using them. Instead they're sleeping outside, wasting our dollars, and making me feel bad, to boot.

 

Though the non-premium cacher should be allowed to go almost anywhere they want without harassment, they should at least have the decency to go where people aren't trying to enjoy themselves. Stay away from the challenging puzzle caches and clever multi’s. Do your loitering and paper printout caching outside places where people aren't having fun, like the DMV or Soup Kitchen.

 

And, if I may make a request to any non-paying cacher reading this, please don't ask for decrypted PDA hints from premium members with children. Trying to explain your miserable plight to a child is one of the hardest things a parent can do. They're too young to understand what makes certain people fall through the cracks of society, and it's not fair of you to force parents' hands with your presence.

 

The non-premium cacher needs to understand that other people have feelings, too, and that it's really pretty selfish of them to display their suffering out in the open like that. If they must be someplace where everyone can see them, can't they at least fake a smile? A smile is free, after all. Even non-premium cachers can afford that.

 

:D

I am still new to the GeoLife but I would like to see more evidence before giving my vote (wait do I have a vote?) For now I will keep my PM Card (do I have one of these either?) I would like spell check though. I went to school in Alabama so I need it( no offense to anyone else who was educated in the state of Alabama)

 

I did not get the detailed instructions on how to properly shake hands with other Geocachers... by the way is there a Premium Member and Charter Member handshake? Because if there is then maybe its worth the money. Oh yeah I do like the PM only caches.

 

Disclaimer: This post in no way reflects the opionion of this geocacher. If you feel hurt or in some way offended by the comments of this post please feel free to keep replying to this post to up your posting numbers as I have just done because I don't have very many.
