Freemasons? I have been wondering you fixed the Oscars. Sounds like fun! If its cool with you, I am intersted in 'Cheering'.

Sure, you can come Tim. Although if you ever decided you wanted to join, I think you have to be either 18 or 21. Otherwise you'd certainly be qualified (male, believe in God, upstanding person, except maybe right after a treasure hunt, hehe)

such a good simpsons, right after i read your post, I watched it(on the computer). yeah, I turn 18 in may. otherwise, I am mainly just curious to join, after all I wouldn't want my basement to flood, or my econo-save stool to break. hehe.

Hmmm, seems you have the most literal sense of humor I've seen since....me!

I'm older than you even! :P

I can find out about the age limit. I suspect it's actually 18. If you decide you actually are interested I can tell you what you need to do to join. It would be cool though if some people I did know joined while I was Master. Of course you wouldn't have to join my lodge up in Como Park. I imagine there's a closer one to Cottage Grove, but it would be up to you.

I have heard in the past that is 18, in fact I just heard about the freemasons a few weeks ago, long after I first saw the "stone-cutters" episode. And if I did decide to join, como may be an option, because I am not going to be in Cottage Grove forever, I will probably go to school closer to the cities.

Good Evening!

Had a fun work type gathering after work tonight and then came home to fix my dish for the potluck lunch tomorrow. I even got a couple more things wrapped and under the tree.

Allison you have mail.

I wonder what I'll keep busy with after Christmas. :-)

Ian - that really sux. What a pain to not only have to fix the window - but to replace the things that were stolen. It'll probably take all of his winter break to deal with all that.

Better hit the shower and then the bed. Goodnight, SCDs and MCL!

That sucks about the car.. hopefully you find out who did it or something....

Me and my sister (who is supposed to be gettign a membership on this site soon) Were down there for dinner on my sisters 31st b-day on the 15th (sunday) and my mom has all kinds of x-mas lights and a couple of wreaths hanging up outside their house.... well this morning, she calls me from work and says "did you two notice if one of our wreaths was missing last night when you left??" Evidentlly someone stole one of the two wreaths they had on the outside of their house.

Hmmm, I just realized that unlike last year, and maybe the year before, this thread didn't just utterly die between the hunts. I wonder if it was the move here that kept things alive and exciting, or possibly the mock hunts in between, or just that we've gotten to know each other better?

Is the first photo Bud?

No, that's another Chris. I remember seeing him don't remember exactly who he is. Maybe Terry will know. That was the first time I showed up for the pre gig dig.

Who is in the 2nd?

No clue. Could be a buddy of Rush Harley's. I don't remember.

Tue, 12/17/2002 - 8:03 PM Permalink
Terry

The first one is Chris and Northernlights. Northernlights is still around. Chris was connected to Northernlights but that's over. The second one I think is a friend of Rush Harley's if I'm not mistaken - and the last one is Green and Inks.

I swear I'm not letting my mind stray to digging just yet. Too long to be nuts if I start this now.

sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheart. i thought we talked about this on sunday around the time i kept popping up under you. the world revolves around me not you. that's probably why i kept popping up under you.

in all seriousness, aw, i think its probably a good deal of all three of those reasons why we've been active all year on the board.

oh, and uh joe.

Allison Wonderland

It seems I have an admirer of sorts. Perhaps she's even still reading this board. She's a hunter named Karen, and quite an avid one at that. She actually found a copy of the opriginal Medallion that she bought. She also had a sweater made for me that says "The Allison Wonderland" on it. Today I got some Alice in Wonderland Christmas ornaments from her. So I thought I'd publicly thank her for those. She also said she was in Mears Park that night we were all there. The only woman I remember seeing there was the woman with the little boy. Did anyone ever figure out who she was? Was her name Karen? For as much as Karen and I have corresponded, I've never actually met her.

Hello!!

Been away WAAAAAYY too long - haven't even slogged here since October - when I logged in, I was reading about preferences for personalized plates. I'm only mentioning that, cause I see one at work all the time that I think is so cute BMW4ME2.....

Been doing the usual run around crazy routine, first with school starting up, more recently getting ready for the Holidays, couple of kid's birthdays along the way, and it's the worst month of the year at work trying to get all the books squeaky clean for year-end.

Those are MY photos! The second one is our GUIDE -- you know, The Treasure Hunter's Guide book guy! Ian, saw your post on the 2003 hunt board, don't know that I can send you links, but I can certainly send you photos of bashes past.

It's past bedtime by quite a bit, so I've got to head that way, but I'll be back soon. :)

i'm pretty sure me2 and i met her that night, aw. i know we met someone who'd been reading through yahoo, and i'm pretty sure her name was karen.

welcome back, mom!

Artemis The Huntress

Hey! I saw the woman with the little boy when I was spying. Didn't someone say they thought the little boy was a "lil digger"? (Actually, the lil digger that posts here is chris diggers daughter)

THX- I love your new tag line!

I'm up N and its pouring rain! Yuck! I wish it was snow. I'm praying the power doesn't go out, but I've got my contingency plans ready just in case.

ATH, thanks. I don't remember where I heard that, but thought it was funny.

aw, i'm pretty sure that the woman with the little boy's name wasn't karen.

mornin' ralph. i caught your email that you got it downloaded. now i've gotta get it onto my laptop. a certain icy poster here has more or less challenged me to a duel of ms. pac man. apparently she thinks she's some sort of ms. pac man goddess or something. i need to brush up my skills because its been a damn long time since i last played it.

I remember a woman hunting around Mears that night, and she didn't have a child. I can't remember too much about her though. There definitely was a second person on the grassy knoll though.

Ares, I think that icy poster thinks she's a goddess period.

got any evidence to back up that accusation, kids? :)

Wouldn't the sister of a goddess logically also be a goddess?

Just checking to see if you're around.
I have successfully cleaned out my IN box - until I put every thing back that couldn't be handle today. I am considering making files for it all and hiding it in the file cabinet in my desk instead of facing that damned box again tomorrow morning!
Your day going any better than mine? :)

ares

oh i'm always around. day's not going too bad. haven't quite gotten as much done as i'd like to have but i don't really care since i'm counting down the days till the end of the work year here. as for your in box, i think you need to take the advice in the stress relief email i sent you once upon a time. hide the box, and set a trash can labelled "in" on your desk in its place. :)

Who knows AW, maybe your secret admirer is actually a Carl instead of a Karen.

slams THX's head on the desk just for the fun of it and to save him the trouble of doing it himself. ;-)

Hey Mom! Good to see you here again!

Allison - Way cooler! A secret admirer that isn't quite secret. She knows where you live and how to send stuff to you. Isn't that sweet?

We are now done with gift buying and wrapping!!! Onward to planning the meals and grocery shopping for the Christmas festivities here.

Only two more wakeups till my son is back home for awhile. I can hardly wait.

Artemis - Hope your power doesn't go. Is it freezing rain? Icy? I hate that stuff!

We bought our pack of Winter Carnival buttons tonight. The cashier was fascinated about the hunt. Says her parents are big hunters but she's never done it.

Better get myself tucked in for the night though at the moment I'm wide awake. I won't be in the morning however.

Goodnight and SCDs!!!!

It's not exactly a secret admirer. I know her name and where she lives. She's married so it's not a romantic sort of thing. It's just that I didn't think we had ever met, yet in the postcard she included she said she was in Mears Park that night, so I was wondering if maybe I did meet her. I know she said she's talked to other people from here during my Mock Hunt. But of course I didn't get out much back then to meet people lest I give too much away.

Otherwise spent the night cleaning mostly. Going to be wrapping presents tomorrow during the day. Possibly going to dinner tomorrow night. Friday I need to clean some more and go get my Christmas tree from my Mason Lodge. Then my singles club is going to downtown Minneapolis to see the Holidazzle parade, go to dinner, check out the Dayton's display, and then go see the new Lord of the Rings movie at the new Block E theater. And then Saturday is my singles club big Christmas party. I should have 25-30 people coming over I suspect. And then Sunday up to Blaine for some D&D. Boy, I need to get a job so I'll have some time to rest! hehe

Well, I still have power, no problems so far! Last night it drizzled then poured, then sleet and repeat. But it wasn't frozen and the roads weren't too icy today. Its still a misty drizzle outside, and just warm enough not to freeze. I was hoping to get some cool ice pics today, but no such luck everythings just wet and soggy. We'll see what happens when it freezes.

Have a groovy thursdasy!

Good Morning!

Glad to see you still have power Artemis. Hope you get your ice pix.

Woke up once during the night with a horrible banging headache. Thank goodness its gone this morning.

Only one more wakeup till Finally Friday and my son coming home!!!

Have a way cooler day everyone!
