Thank you. She has been sleeping and hasn't eaten for about 4-5 days. The doctor says it shouldn't be long. We've all been taking turns staying with her around the clock. My wishes to you all for a blessed Christmas Season. Crosscrescent, I've red...

A small town parish priest had a man with no arms ask for work. The priest said, “I’d like to help you with employment, but I am not sure what kind of work I have that you could do.” “I could ring the bell in the bell tower of the church.” Replied the...

Hi all - I'm running a library program in February 2018 around Harry Potter. Does anyone have about ten HP stamps that they'd be willing to loan me, please? I'd use them for the event, and then return them -- Thanks for considering, paper trail

I just love this theme! Thank you Ryan.

Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday Timelord of Galifrey Happy Birthday to you!!! :)

I find it tapering off in this area. I have planted several boxes and only a couple have bothered to find them. Not many people planting boxes around here anymore. It is like everyone quit. No events have been organized. Not that I blame anyone for not...

yes, I pressed the rude button. Snow is rude. lol

That is so awful.... so painful... so hilarious that I have to print it out and read it to everyone I know!!! Thanks for the Friday giggle, Yosemite

Part of the issue with declines in plants might be saturation. We're blessed in Massachusetts to have lotsa boxes, so much so that the best places to plant (at least within a close loci for me) already have a goodly number there, and in some cases, pro...

Keeping your mom and your family in my prayers.

Thank you.

I was going to organize a get together, but the building I was going to rent raised their prices per hour and is under renovation. Too rich for my pocket book to handle. You don't have to actually rent a place. An event can be as informal as having eve...

Being so busy of late, I may be a tad behind the times - So pleased that even though there are no current carves for Paul, some of his lovely cabinets are still available in the City for boxers to enjoy. When I first started in letterboxing ten years...

I just found this one a few weeks ago, and after a few visits to the store and emails with the manager, they were able to recover it! Still working on the others - some shops where somebody has heard about the letterbox but can't find it, others where...

In the Minneapolis area, we're working on refreshing the cities, so there are more and new boxes to find, as many of us older folk have played this city out, pretty much. For us, it's become more about the relationships and what we can do together for...

I've been retired since the 1990's, but SWMBO didn't retire until two years ago. I expected that once she retired our letterboxing activity would increase dramatically because we'd be free to travel when and where we wanted. Plus, she really loved tr...

I love the theme too but then again, I'm a lover of snow !!

...many of us older folk have played this city out, pretty much. Geocachers are much more attuned to retiring old caches and planting new ones to always give people something new to hunt. Of course, they're not retiring a lovely stamp and log book, th...

I just held a Harry Potter event and have a bunch of stamps. There is someone else who wants to borrow them, if she doesn't want to during feb and you can get them back to us by when she needs them, then you can borrow them.

We put a couple of months into shopping around and ended up buying 72 acres with a small lake.... Plenty of places to walk around naked now.... AND SKINNY DIPPING TOO!!!!! =) -- Ryan

This is another idea you'll eventually find does more harm than good. When the substrate is too soft you'll start picking up stray marks in the stamp Interesting. I've been using foam for several years and haven't noticed this problem. Maybe I'm not...

I remember when a couple of years ago, Carole of DKK coordinated cards from some of us to Paul (he's living in NYC now I believe) so we could share what his beautiful boxes meant to our letterboxing careers......his are all the best of the best if you...

I was really happy to see this pop up too- I'm glad you (and the shop) found it! I've had zero luck when trying for some of the others. I did speak to the manager of the bookstore- he remembered it immediately and said it was in the basement somewhere....

but there's still a high volume of creative and clever content being produced, just in different forms and at different rates. Oh, I totally agree. I just meant I'd like to see less emphasis on stats. There are still many great boxes out there and more...

This is the number one rated theme.

:::::GROAN::::: bahahahahaaaa You need help. Is there 12-step program for this? LOL!!!

We boxed out our area a LONG time ago and rarely are new boxes planted around here, probably because this is such a touristy part of the state; the beach & L'boxing aren't necessarily great companion activities. That's what I tell myself anyways......

perhaps we should put more effort into "updating" boxes just to keep things fresh I have been revisiting all my local boxes in plant date order and pulling some of those that have grown "stale", no finds in several years, all the local boxers have foun...

ended up buying 72 acres with a small lake only about 15 minutes from our house. This sounds like the perfect place to host an event. Bring the people and letterboxes to you!! ~Aurora

I can’t seem to get the clue link to work??
