How much more do you have?

Asking for a friend ;-)......

We have a ton of Tan Z at last check. My supply is getting on the lower end as I prepare to attend an event at the end of the month where hopefully a bunch of Michigander requests will be filled. Plus, I am going to send some for Live and Breathe (along with a bunch of other supplies). However, anyone out of state who has responded back to me should have their order minus the most recent request. We have had about 60 requests so far.

My cousin still has the bulk of the Tan Z. She power sawed a lot of slabs to 11x12 size and sent me home with a lot of them in January. I also took a few slabs with me. Given the amount of snow at her house, we probably will not be back up there until it warms up more. My car was not fond of the snow at the end of the driveway up there. She may head this way and bring some, but I am not sure when.

Thanks everyone.

Making time to be playful feels luxurious. It is very needed and carving feels playful.

What’s so funny, is that some people actually believe that trump sits there and puts up this stupid post of oblama, but when theirs a post of trump as an orangutan 🦧 , then that’s okay. And there is absolutely no chance that oblama had anything to do with it. Just like oblama had absolutely nothing to do with russian collusion . Believing that trump wastes his time putting up these post really says a lot about a person

Yeah, that they have critical thinking skills.

It was posted to Trump's account. Even if he hires someone to post to his account for him, that still makes it his responsibility, and if he believed it was over the line, he could have deleted the post and apologized saying that it wasn't appropriate in no uncertain terms. He did delete the post--but only because of the backlash--but he never apologized for it.


Obama has never posted a photo of Trump as an orangutan. Naturally, in a group of millions of people, you can find followers who might post offensive and stupid material--but if you believe in leading by example, then Obama is well in the clear.


Of course he had nothing to do with Russian collusion. It was Trump who wanted to collude with Russia!

I get that you're a Trump fan and want to defend him, but you should pick your battles better. Comparing a post ON Trump's account (who has a long history of saying stupid, racist, misogynistic and hurtful comments--so it wasn't even out of character) to a random Obama supporter posting a picture of Trump as an orangutan is utterly ridiculous.

And in any case, Trump's orange appearance is of his own making. It's not even racist to compare him to a pumpkin or an orangutan. He chooses to paint himself orange every day for God knows what reason. But in any case, it's not actually his real skin color--they're making fun of his makeup, so it can hardly be considered racist meme. But that's not even really the point. The point is that Obama never even posted such a stupid meme to his account and you're comparing apples to, well... oranges.

Lmfao

But I like orangutans.

Orangutan Language Is Eerily Similar to Ours

What racial or ethnic bigotry is represented by an image of Trump as an orangutan? What a silly comparison. Perhaps you do not know that there is significant history of racism comparing black people with apes, intended as an insult?

Trump is part of the elite class and it's hard to claim he fights for the working class when he's anti-union and has left workers high and dry after they've completed jobs on his buildings. Right now, he's working on making home healthcare workers exempt from being paid minimum wage and overtime pay! WTF?!?! These people are already paid too little and the federal minimum wage is STILL only $7.25/hour. https://www.aarp.org/advocacy/job-protections-home-care-workers/

This disgusting SOB has never lifted a finger in his life, except to sexually and physically assault girls and women.

Exactly! This is why I roll my eyes when I hear my in-laws, some of whom belong to unions, talking about the “rich elites” Trump is going after. They don’t understand that he’d like to bust their union and leave them at the mercy of the business owners.

He re-posted it on Truth Social and even admitted to doing it.

He did remove the post, and thats only because Tim Scott told him how racist it was but Trump said "I won’t apologize for posting it".


First, I never even saw the pic that you are talking about or even heard of it. It could of happened during my hiatus from the news and Social Media.

But I would of heard that Trump was creating law suit because of his history fof people who hurt his feelings.

I do have to ask, can you tell me why you think depicting Trump as an orangutan is somehow racist? It makes no sense.

I mean, Trump is white, He is the one that paints himself orange, so not sure why that would be racist. Maybe to the orangutan, but Trump, no.

Where are you getting your info from? Im curious.

I am interested in seeing how Growing Boxes are listed. I would like to list one to get more visitors to visit the very first ‘DARK PARK’ in Illinois. If you have a Growing Box or read a post about Growing Boxes, please share.

Thank you! TeachJR

I've never planted a growing box myself, but here's one that I think can serve as a model for how to list one.

The parent box is listed as a traditional. In the clues, you're invited to carve a stamp to add to the box, and you're asked to let the planter know what you carved. She then listed the additional stamps in the clues for the parent box.

Then, for recording purposes, she created a box listed as an Other. This box lists every stamp contributed by the finders so that people can correctly log their finds as Others.

We open Fri 2/13 and run weekends closing Sat 2/28. Hope you can make it! Curious Cast and Crew

This is all fine and good, and one can certainly continue listing growing boxes like this, but this is also a fairly old listing and now that boxes allow you to list the individual stamps in a box, I'd suggest using that option instead.

It just seems simpler and easier that way. There's just one listing (the original growing box) that needs to be recorded as a find, it has information about all the stamps in the box and who carved what, it will only count as one towards one's P or F-counts, etc.

The system of adding new stamps as an "other" listing was more of a hack so the P and F-counts stayed accurate. It does work, though, and everyone is certainly welcome to keep doing that if they want. But listing the "other" stamps was always an optional thing anyhow, and now it just seems like an antiquated way listing multiple stamps within a single box now that there's a dedicated feature to do precisely that.

I kind of figured that there would be something about a "growing box" in the help pages, but I found nothing. I seem to recall those boxes had a couple of different, competing names, but for the life of me, I can't remember any other names.

Anyhow, I figured it was time that the term got added to both the glossary and the help pages.

Happy trails! =)

-- Ryan

PS. If you're curious about the glossary entry, keep in mind that I did officially add it on Friday the 13th. ;o)

Illinois - I have planted and found boxes in State Parks here. I would always read the clue carefully and look to see when it was last found. We have such crazy winds and some flooding in Illinois. I would try to seek to place it off the ground and put a rock or 7 rocks on top so it doesn't blow away.

Yes, at times things get geocached here as they do everywhere. One state Park I frequent is Kickapoo State Park on the Eastern side of IL a long I-74. Moraine View is another nice park.

Our all-black kitty "Hyphen" is 14 years old today which makes the below banner coincidence amazing! She came to us from our daughter 5 years ago. When our granddaughter was born, they found she was allergic to Hyphen and when we heard they were looking for a home for her, our reaction was, "You can't give our grand-kitty to a stranger!" She's been happily spoiled from that day on :-)

It's Friday the 13th.
SOMEBODY is gonna ask. Like clockwork.

The anticipation is KILLING me ! 😎

That's the devil's work, of course.

Ryan,

You are a nutjob .. but we love ya .. LOL

[Come back and see us some Monday night!]

Mystic Mushroom is boxing in Riverside Cemetery and found an unknown box near Nolan's mausoleum near The Magic Mushroom box. It has a Deer Head stamp. No markings, no name no aq#. Found by brute force from another clue.

Does anyone know what box this is?

Thanks!!
Lynn

I guess no good deed goes unpunished.

Speaking for myself, can confirm.

I love mysteries like this.

Especially intriguing is this bit...

It’s been a few years since I’ve used my smart phone to look up letterboxes. Going on a trip soon and might want to grab a few boxes on the go. But on my i Phone, I’m now getting constant pop-ups to all sorts of junk to the point it’s impossible to even look up a box. How can I manage this?
