+ventura_kids Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 I was just sitting here with the hamster I got out of a cache a long time ago, and I was wondering what ever happened to all the old timers? Ventura Kid and Spider Dude Ever stop to think, and forget to start again? Quote
+The Leprechauns Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 Hello, Ventura Kids! Nice to see you again. I am still placing hamsters in caches, and tracking two as travel bugs. I will continue to do this until some newbie suggests that there ought to be a rule against leaving live animals in caches. x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x Some mornings, it just doesn't pay to chew through the leather straps. - Emo Phillips Quote
+LaPaglia Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 Old timers, good question. I'm more worred that while you and I got hamsters from caches there were 2 that went missing in the cache, hope they are ok Lapaglia Muga Muchu (forget yourself, focus) Quote
+mtn-man Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 Sorry, it took me a while to post to this topic. My alzheimers is kicking in and I couldn't remember if I was an old timer or not. What was the topic again? Quote

Cape Cod Cacher Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 I swore that I'd never post a reply on the "General Geocaching" forum a few months back. I said so in "I quit" and got flambede, I got tired of the whining and same-old-same-old. I was showing the game to an Eastern European girl when I saw this thread. I keep most of my finds with a different name/number, that should kill the flames. I still use this account for benchmarks, talking to New England and miss the fun of the other old-timers. <big wave> Cache On ! CCC Quote
