    Yes, I am having the same issue as well. Hit the back button once or twice and it will display the search request.

    I was thinking it had to do with IE v7. I’ve been to lazy to see if it happens with other versions. I also have an annoying error pop up when I display a cache page from within GSAK or log a find and change the date.

    I know Michigan approached MiGO a couple of years ago when I was on MiGO’ EC about working with them to try and get at least one cache in each of Michigan’s Welcome Centers. Every rest stop is not a welcome center, but it is the same organization.

    And I think we stopped at every rest stop from the wisconsin border to Sault Ste Marie last year to pick up a caches. Many had items of interest at them that we would have normally just driven past. Kudos to the State for approaching you.

    A few minutes before the church services started, the congregation were sitting in their pews and talking.
    Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the church.

    Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate.

    Soon the church was empty except for one elderly gentleman who sat calmly in his pew without moving, seemingly oblivious to the fact that God’s ultimate enemy was in his presence..

    So Satan walked up to the man and said, ‘Do you know who I am?’

    The man replied, ‘Yep, sure do.’

    ‘Aren’t you afraid of me?’ Satan asked.

    ‘Nope, sure ain’t.’ said the man.

    ‘Don’t you realize I can kill you with one word?’ asked Satan.

    ‘Don’t doubt it for a minute,’ returned the old man, in an even tone.

    ‘Did you know that I can cause you profound, horrifying AGONY for all eternity?’ persisted Satan.

    ‘Yep,’ was the calm reply.

    ‘And you are still not afraid?’ asked Satan.

    ‘ Nope,’ said the old man

    More than a little perturbed, Satan asked, ‘Why aren’t you afraid of me?’

    The man calmly replied,

    ‘Been married to your sister for 48 years.

    I know of two ways in the outsource method that this is done. The first way, the organization decides how much of each size, style and color of each item should be ordered. They pay for all of the inventory but it is sold through the store much like consigment goods.

    In the second way, the store holds the individual orders until they have enough to send to the printer. The six to eight weeks your waiting is for all the other people to place their orders and create enough volume for the large order.

    Another club that I used to be a member of, would order a bunch of items (shirts, hats, hoodies, umbrellas sweatshirts, visors) and keep selling them off at each event until they were all gone. I know this takes a bit of good guessing so that your not stuck with 20 small sweaters that no one wants. But the person in charge was pretty good, in fact she got to the point that each month she had something new in her “store”

    One thought might be to hold a T-shirt sale a couple times a year rather than year round.

    LOL that is the best milestone I have seen in a while! Congrats!

    Yesterday I was at the local Walmart buying a bag of Purina dog chow for my dog Charlie. A woman behind me in the checkout line asked the typical redundant question of “do you have a dog?”

    What did she think I had, an elephant? On impulse I told her no, I didn’t have a dog. I was starting the Purina Diet again. I added I probably shouldn’t, because I ended up in the hospital last time. But I’d lost 50 pounds before I awakened in intensive care with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.

    I told her it was essentially a perfect diet. The way it works is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here practically everyone in line was now enthralled with my story.)

    Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped off a curb to sniff an Irish Setter’s butt and a car hit us both.
    I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard.

    Walmart won’t let me shop there anymore

    in reply to: Cache Stickers #1922672

    I just got off the phone a monent ago with a client. It didnt bother them that we might cut the sticker up to make two of them, it was even suggest they could put in a perferation to make it easier to separate. I hope to get some pricing from them in the next few days.

    in reply to: Brookfield school looking for assist #1924568

    We live very close to Brookfield and might be able to assist, depending on what the work schedule is like. Half a day would work even better.

    in reply to: Pocket Query size #1924553

    You know, it might turn into a performance gain. Instead of running 3 querys to cover the area I want, I can cut that down to 2 querys and get more caches.

    My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming
    anniversary.

    She said, ‘I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 200 in
    about 3 seconds.’

    I bought her a scale.

    And then the fight started….

    in reply to: Humor #1922868

    The other day I accidentally rear-ended one of those little “Smart” cars. So, this short guy about 4 feet tall gets out and looks at his car and yells “I am not HAPPY”. Then, sarcastically I came back with “Well, which one are you then?”, that’s when the fight started…..

    Wow, ever since the link was removed, we have not been keeping track of where we are in the standings. I know we have swapped spots with Mr. GT a few times but it is cools to know that there is a three way race going on. For the record, we spent last weekend enjoying Door County with some guidance from DC Explorer. While we didnt get to do everything he recommended, he really went out of his way to help us. As luck would have it, our 2600 was one of his caches, Temp Cachers Revenge II. A little less difficult this time of the year as the bees are on holiday.

    And thanks for the shout out Wayward, I’ll now keep an eye on your progress, hopefully from my rearview mirror! 😆

    Valid point, I asked Wis Kid about a cache I wanted to do, not only did he offer good advice he asked a few questions as to what I was trying to do and actually made good suggestions for the cache considering additional logging requirements

    They are there to help, and do whenever they can. As long as everyone understands there are limitations to what they are able to do and can do.

    For being volunteers, its amazing just how accomodating the reviewers are. It amazes me that there isnt a higher rate of turnover in that position.

    Farmer Joe decided his injuries from his recent accident were serious enough to take the trucking company responsible for the accident to court. In court, the trucking company’s fancy lawyer was questioning farmer Joe.

    “Didn’t you say, at the scene of the accident, that you were fine?”

    ”Well, I’ll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favorite mule Bessie into the–“

    ”I didn’t ask for any details,” the lawyer interrupted. ”Just answer the question. Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, that you were fine?”

    ”Well I had just got Bessie into the trailer and was driving down the road–”

    ”Judge, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the Highway Patrolman on the scene that he was just fine. Now several weeks after the accident he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the question.”

    By this time the Judge was fairly interested in Farmer Joe’s answer and told the lawyer so.

    ”Well,” said the farmer, “as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into the trailer and was driving her down the highway when this huge semi-truck and trailer ran the stop sign and smacked my truck right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the other. I was hurting real bad and didn’t want to move. However, I could hear ol’ Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans. Shortly after the accident a Highway Patrolman came on the scene. He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he went over to her. After he looked at her he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes. Then the Patrolman came across the road with his gun in his hand and looked at me. He said, ‘Your mule was in such bad shape I had to shoot her. How are you feeling?'”

    We did this series last weekend and on the trip out, we followed the caches on the east side of the river. On the way back we followed a snowmobile trail that was running on the west. When we were within 750′ of the bridge, we started hearing what could be best described as muffled ice cracking. We moved back to the east side to finish our trek. I dont know if it was actually cracking or just that it was shifting because of changing conditions but even the dogs looked around a bit worried. I would suggest going with a partner, a rope and those ice picks the fishermen wear.

    Ohhh and dont make our mistake, heed the suggestion to take binoculars along.
