ah….okey dokey.
Mr G, I’ve apologized to a few people about forgetting to sign logs.
The owner of a cache let me know that I’d forgotten to sign on of his and I went back and my signature was already there, it was just different than he’d expected. The people involved got a decent chuckle out of it when I let them know.Back on topic:
Sometimes I’m so happy that I found it, other times I get lost looking at previous signatures that I forget to add my own. Once I just didn’t have anything to sign with and blood is unsanitary. On behalf of the finders who don’t visit the forums or maybe didn’t realize that they didn’t sign, could you at least give us a notice that we neglected to sign before you delete?The only thing to do, I suppose, is to lead by example. Heck, I’ll talk to anyone.
It’s been my experience that to help with that issue is just to bring the outsiders into the circle (not necessarily the middle). On the forums we’re pretty good because there’s no face-to-face communication, but in person there’s a shyness factor.
“Clique-iness” doesn’t necessarily happen because we don’t like someone, a lot of the time it starts because “these are the people we know the best so that’s who we talk to” After a while you don’t notice other people inside the same group as much because “Why would you?” This type of behavior is easy to handle just by being aware that it occurs.
If a group is being intentionally “members only” and restrictive, then we might have to have a “chat” about public etiquette.
For the most part, being aware that it happens/has happened/will happen is the best defence. Being reminded of the possibility also helps. Just by bringing this question to the Candidates Corner has probably helped out quite a bit for the next couple of events.
Boy was I rambling….hope this made sense….
In that case, let’s go into the Northwest region. I’ve played around in there, but I haven’t really cached much for some reason. Bring on the north woods.
Yes
I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.
Appropriate movie quotes.On a serious note, adaptability and composure. I’m good in a pinch and even volunteers who don’t know me will listen when I bark. Just ask Averith.
AuntieNae brings up a good point. What is the purpose of this pie?
Is it a duel at 10 paces? If so, you’ll want something with a little heft and maybe a top crust to hold integrity. I suggest apple.
Is it a sneak pie to the face? If so, try something with a lot of “squishy” like any pie with a pudding for a filling.
To eat? Pumpkin.This could be a very long list.
Acting, puppeteering, camping, hunting, fishing, role-playing games, board games, card games, hiking, reading, canoeing, paintballing…Suffice to say, I enjoy things that waste time or don’t waste time…as long as I’m doing something.Yes and Yes
Otherwise, I would not have accept the nomination.It seems to have worked for 10 years. I’ve never heard anything against the tradition, so it has my support.
Yes, I did know that it was a BOD responsibility.
Yes, I’m willing to take on that responsibility.
Yes, I support light moderation. We’ve been mostly decent from what I’ve seen. The regulars do a fairly good job of policing themselves.Yes. It’s a good cause with an added bonus of potential PR.
Yup
Cop: “Excuse me sir, would you mind getting out of your train of thought?”
Guy: “Huh? What?”
Cop: “Where’s the big idea sir?”
Guy: “Oh, I’m sorry officer, I don’t understand, I was thinking.”
Cop: “Yeah, your mind was wandering all over the place. May I see your degree please?”
Guy: “Sure, here.”
Cop: “Take it out of the frame.”
Guy: “Sorry. It’s a community college learner’s permit.”
Cop: “You need a BA to drive this idea home!”
Guy: “Oh, I… I must have been lateral thinking, and not realised it.”
Cop: “Uh huh.”
Guy: “See, I had to think fast to get around that mental block back there, and I didn’t notice the limits.”
Cop: “This degree has expired! I ought to throw the encyclopedia at you.”
Guy: “Why? Is this a controlled thought zone?”
Cop: “Yes, it is, sir. See the sign?”
Guy: “School…
“I guess I was letting my thoughts wander all over the avenue of consideration.”Cop: “Uh huh, you almost collided with established dogma back at those presumptions.”
Guy: “I wasn’t thinking straight!”
Cop: “I see. Have you been drinking, sir?”
Guy: “A couple of beers, but I’m not illogical!”
Cop: “Well, I should stop your thought process right now, but I’m going to give you a ticket for quick thinking.”
Guy: “That’s three points off my IQ!!!”
Cop: “And the fine is a penny for your thoughts.”
Guy: “I’ll get back into the flow of normal thought, officer.”
Cop: “Uh huh, you go straight to your inevitable conclusion: it’s foregone, you can’t miss it.”
Guy: “Yes.”
Cop: “You understand?”
Guy: “Yes. Thank you very much officer.”
Cop: “Okay, off with you…
“Kids! Too damn smart for their own good!”The wonderful world of statistics:
1. Ten percent of all car thieves are left-handed. All polar bears are left-handed. Therefore, if your car is stolen there is a ten percent chance it was a polar bear.
2. All dogs are animals. All cats are animals. Therefore, all dogs are cats.
3. A total of 4000 cans are opened around the world every second. 10 babies are conceived around the world every second. Therefore, every time you open a can you have a 1 in 400 chance of getting pregnant.
