1:54 p.m. - 2006-09-13 Currently Listening For the traditional geocache, a geocacher will place a waterproof container, containing a log book (with pen or pencil) and treasures, then note the geocache's coordinates. These coordinates, along with other details of the location, are posted on a website. Other geocachers obtain the information from the Internet and, using handheld GPS receivers, seek out the geocache. The finding geocachers record their exploits in the logbook and online. Geocachers are free to take objects from the cache in exchange for leaving something of similar or higher value, so there is treasure for the next person to find. This is a new hobby that my son, DIL, and husband have started doing. My son and DIL have found about 50 caches. The idea is that you get the coordinates and try to find the cache. When you find it, you take a picture of it. You sign the logbook and if you want to take the trinket in the cache, you must leave something for the next person or....you can leave the original trinket. I have only gone on one exploration with my husband and DIL to return to a site where they have been trying to find the cache. So far, no luck. I think maybe the coordinates should be checked again. This is a hobby that has a cost only for the GPS system you purchase, some gas to drive to the location and buying a few trinkets to leave in the cache. There are caches all over the world. When we go on our cruise in November, we are going to check for any caches in the areas where we dock, just for fun. This hobby is done all over the world and there is plenty of information about it online. ###### Wife standing nude, looks in the bedroom mirror and says to her husband , "I look horrible, I feel fat and ugly. Pay me a compliment". He replies, "Your eyesight's damn near perfect". He never heard the shot............ You find out interesting things when you have sons, like .... 1.) A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4 inches deep. 2.) If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite. 3.) A 3-year old Boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant. 4.) If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound Boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20x20 ft. room. 5.) You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way. 6.) The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan. 7.) When you hear the toilet flush and the words "uh oh", it's already too late. 8.) Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it. 9.) A six-year old Boy can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year old Man says they can only do it in the movies. 10.) Certain Lego's will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year old Boy. 11.) Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence. 12.) Super glue is forever. 13.) No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water. 14.) Pool filters do not like Jell-O. 15.) VCR's do not eject "PB & J" sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do. 16.) Garbage bags do not make good parachutes. 17.) Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving. 18.) You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is. 19.) Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens. 20.) The fire department in your town has a 5-minute response time. 21.) The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy. 22.) It will, however, make cats dizzy. 23.) Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy. 24.) 80% of Women will pass this on to almost all of their friends, with or without kids. 25.) 80% of Men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid. #####

Bonus Comment: An East Texas couple, both real-life rednecks, had 9 children. They went to the doctor to see about getting the husband "fixed". The doctor asked them why, after nine children would they choose to do this. The husband replied that they had read in a recent article that one out of every ten children being born in North America was Mexican and they didn't want a Mexican baby because neither of them could speak Spanish. ###### ##### Bubba, a furniture dealer from Arkansas, decided to expand the line of furniture in his store,so he decided to go to Paris to see what he could find.
