My butt has a lot of weight

No it doesn't Denise, I've seen you in real life. Don't lie to these nice people. (Or even the un nice ones LOLOL)
Anyway just remember: "muscle weighs more than fat."

Try it like a mantra. "muscle weighs more than fat..muscle weighs more than fat."

you only wished to hear responses from people who actually hid their finds.

But I *didn't* only want to hear from Hiders. *Sigh*. Ya still not getting it. Listen again, a little more carefully this time. I wanted to know why *some* people see an advantage to Hide and *some* people see disadvantage to hide. Neutral question.

name-calling--characterizing those who disagree with you

I was not taking any position whether one 'should' or 'shuould not' Hide or whetehr that should or should not be an option-, so there wasn't any "disagreeing with me", except for disagreeing that I even should ask the question. Considering the level of interest the question has received seems like it was worth asking.

As to the negativity, I think Don calling me manic after one of my earliest posts.. and reading some of the nasty things written by a few other members that are totally unconnected to me or my threads- demonstrate there was quite enough of the negativity on these boards long before I came (also confirmed for me by Ryan).. and I am sure there would be plenty to go around if I don't post.

You might prefer to pretend all was hunky dory before Suzi came along and stirred things up, but that really would not be honest, now would it?

Denise, I believe you've just been told you have a fat butt.

SuziLivvi: Anyway just remember: "muscle weighs more than fat."

Shiloh: Denise, I believe you've just been told you have a fat butt.

Nope, she's been told she has a heavy butt. LOL

HEY!!! who hit the agree button!

to get rid of her bodacious booty

HEY!!! who hit the agree button!

I did... I didn't agree that you had a fat butt, only that you had been told you have a fat butt!!

BIG difference (no pun intended).

*who makes it standard policy to not look at the butt of another woman and therefore has no opinion on your butt!*

My butt has a lot of weight

Got it wrong (again)

Actually, DENISE said she had a fat, er, "weighty" butt and I was trying to tell her it *wasn't*. bad. Not fat, muscles. Muscles are good. Muscles from climbing hills planting boxes, from rowing whaleboats etc.

Muscles from climbing hills planting boxes, from rowing whaleboats etc.

Yes, but muscle is still heavier than fat so therefore I maintain that you told her she had a heavy butt. Yes, lots of muscle but heavy. ROFLOL

Knit Wit, who's just having fun here and hopes neither deniserows nor SuziLivvi are taking exception to the teasing :-)

I normally assume that the fault is mine when I can't find a box.

I think that depends on the situation. There have been a few times where I found remnants of a moldy log book, or an empty duct taped altoids tin; and a clear indentation and scattered SPOR where the clue was pretty darn clear. I still say "I 'm sorry but I *think* it *may* have gone missing.." just to make the news a little less harsh..not beacuase I assume it's likely I'm wrong.

But often I am really not clear I had the right place, and I'll say so- and explain what seemed ambiguous to me, where I might have gone wrong. Was I supposed to be facing the waterfall, or with my back to it?

I recently went for a brand new series. The First Finders got 5 out of 6 but reported #1 was missing. I know they are experienced people, and even if one is a bit grinchy, she makes up for it with her poetry. So I was not suprised when I found what was almost certainly the correct location, with a scattered SPOR right near the clue-indicated concrete slab. Of course it was still possible I was wrong so I described the location in detail.

But if I go to look for a box in the hollow of a 20 foot dead oak tree in a small sloping uphill meadow next to a landmark memorial bench for Dr Joe; and I see the remnants of said tree sawed up and stacked by the side of the trail.. I don't think I am wrong. It wasn't any dead tree in any meadow, it was that one next to Dr Joe's memorial bench. Of course I still might poke around the pile of logs hoping teh box is still stuck in a hollow..but.. it wasn't a wrong location on my part, for sure.

Got it wrong (again)

I copy and pasted your post so you're the one that got it wrong.

Shiloh

You cut and pasted DENISE saying she has a weighty posterior, PLUS my reply saying no, really it's not that bad. You cut and pasted two people's dialogue and thought it was me alone.

Go back and check. Then 'fess up, like a good girl!

My butt has a lot of weight. Does that count? LOL i crack myself up

In case you could not find the original post.

There seems to be less reason to post a notice on a board or chatlist and also less reason to send a personal note to a planter. Why send a note when a find can be logged in?

I disagree there is any less reason, because there are different reasons for the two actions. Logging is for me to keep track and also, more incidentally, to let finder (and others, if not hidden) know current status.

Sending a note is to talk about condition and just general thanks- log full, landmark gone, thanks for showing us a fabulous spot, great carve. Maybe something cool we saw along the trail.

Then 'fess up, like a good girl!

That'll be hard for shiloh to do. You haven't checked the sig stamp picture on shiloh's profile, have you? ;-)

Hi, shiloh!!!

Knit wit

fess up, like a good girl

First of all I can't fess up like a girl because I'm a guy.

Second, I know it was two different persons posts....but you had copied it to your post then replied to it. So I copied them both to show the context of your post.

I don't see any thing for me to fess up to.

Now, will you admit to being wrong?

Shiloh

Hey Knit Wit....*waving*

Denise, I believe you've just been told you have a fat butt.

....and where you said I was wrong.So where was I wrong?

I believe it's time for you to concede defeat.

Shiloh

So where was I wrong?

I won't go so far as to say that you were wrong, shiloh, but I do maintain that SuziLivvi, by explaining as she did that muscle weighs more than fat and talking about Denise having lots of butt muscle from rowing whaling ships (that I've got to see), said that Denise had a heavy butt. :-)

I have personally never been blessed enough to be in deniserows's presence, so I have no opinion in the matter.

Knit wit

talking about Denise having lots of butt muscle

First, we had Fluffy's Colon Wars.
Now, Deniserow's Butt Wars?

I'm looking forward to shiloh's Pyloric Battle, Don's Appendix Campaign, and the inevitable Ryan's Disagreement of the Sphincter!

I agree with you Knit Wit.....

I was just pointing out an error....:)

Shiloh

First of all I can't fess up like a girl because I'm a guy.

Which means he can't 'fess up at all! Deny everything!

You might prefer to pretend all was hunky dory before Suzi came along and stirred things up, but that really would not be honest, now would it?

No, it wouldn't be honest. But I'm not trying to pretend that "all was hunky dory." I never said any such thing, and I don't think it. I believe you've misrepresented my position.

Ryan's Disagreement of the Sphincter!

I don't wanna see any disagreement with a sphincter!

I recently went for a brand new series. The First Finders got 5 out of 6 but reported #1 was missing.

So I was not suprised when I found what was almost certainly the correct location, with a scattered SPOR right near the clue-indicated concrete slab.

Ummmm....I'm not sure which one of us you are calling grinchy, unless Grumpy Grinch have also found this series and just haven't logged it yet. Anyway, I have confirmed with the owner that box #1 was missing. She has since replanted it, in a slightly different location.

I won't be able to make it out to find Box 1 for several weeks, so perhaps you can be first finder on that one.

SJ Honey Bunny

Honey Bunny, We are SO relieved to learn it was you who was first finders on whatever series she was referring to. We knew it wasn't us. Must be a case of mistaken identity.

Grinch of Grumpy Grinch, who doesn't write the poetry

Honey Bunny, We are SO relieved to learn it was you who was first finders on whatever series she was referring to. We knew it wasn't us. Must be a case of mistaken identity.

Grinch of Grumpy Grinch, who doesn't write the poetry

And I know that it's Grumpy who writes the poetry. I don't mind being compared to the two of you, but the reference was said in such a way that I wasn't sure it was totally complementary, if that makes sense? I did write a poem for one of my boxes (Future Sky Filler), but it is no where near as good as Grumpy's wonderful poetry and could never be confused with his.

Oh well, I'm not going to fret over it.
SJ Honey Bunny

I was wrong, it was Bokmal that SJHB went boxing with! Sorry, ladies. And SJHB, none of us can be first finders on #1, at least until it is re-planted.. it ha defintely gone missing.

no, dear no negative comment on your poetry! Or GG's! I did mean it complimentary but was just wrong thinking GG, not Bokmal, was your boxing buddy. simple mistake.

That'll be hard for shiloh to do

Must have been thinking of Brangelina's girl Shiloh, LOL.
Ah well HE could still confess LIKE a good girl would-! Why not.
Still haven't seen the admission of a screw up in the cut & paste..oh, well. We all know even if he/she/it won't cop to it.

Ryan's Disagreement of the Sphincter

Oh dear I am just hoping that doesn't hit when he is on a looong hike somewhere.. or on public transit. eeew
