This subject caught my eye while I was thinking about restricted letterboxes. Maybe somebody else said this, but if a boss who knew about their employee's hobby (or sport) and really wanted to get them fired or written up, there are ways around that. The employer could take note of the days the employee claimed ill, compare that to boxes found within 50 miles on those dates or just get a list of boxes within 50 miles, print clues, find the boxes, and then use a digital camera to photograph the evidence.

Yeah, it's far fetched but if the employer was persistent enough...

So maybe nobody should inform their bosses about their hobby, unless they have evidence of their boss golfing, when they are supposed to be at an important meeting.... but maybe that's not a good idea either.

And SJHB, none of us can be first finders on #1, at least until it is re-planted.. it ha defintely gone missing.

Suzi,

As I stated earlier:

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.

deniserows inquired:
My butt has a lot of weight. Does that count?

I find that the placement and positioning of appropriate ballast counts incredibly.

Denise said: My butt has a lot of weight
Suzi said: No it doesn't."

What part of NO don't you understand?!

Then- my second part- was the *alternative* that if Denise herself really wants to insist that she does have weight in her butt (with which I do not agree), THEN I said.. that any such weight was NOT fat but was MUSCLE.

That was the alternative to No weight in butt- well, if you insist, Denise, don't worry- any weight that is there is just muscle weight not fat.

And, you forgot the third and most obvious option for statement #2 being true- No, she does not have a weighty butt and NEITHER is it heavier weight of muscle NOR lesser weight of fat -it is NEITHER, i.e. she is SKINNY.

So under no skewed construction (I really could not call it 'logic') can you make this accusation.. which seems to be a lot more about making a false accusation than any issue of substance, or importance.

eeeeekkk..I've done that!

Not because I didn't want to work hard for a clue, but I'd hit a road block.
