2002 Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt

Submitted by Casey Trauer on

Yes, the medallion has been found, but there's still lots to talk about. Feel the need for more than virtual discussion? Then join the Re-Hash Bash, Sunday, Jan. 27, at noon at Merriam Park in St. Paul.

Iris - I spent so much flipping time there last year BAHHHH

Merriam would be nice. I also hate Phalen because I don't know it at all.

TMK - good luck with the quilt, you are a keeper.

Thanks Leela. I'm hoping if I could get the hang of it, I could do more with it.

Of course I'm missing the point Scribe. I'm a guy. What is the point?

She's had him toiling away, doing her bidding. Not easy caring for a 300 lb guy.

Just wait, TMK, once you marry your girl friend you will see how right Scribe is.

What is the point scale? Tell me now, while there is still hope?

Sun, 01/06/2002 - 11:14 PM Permalink
Scribe

OOOOO the point scale! I only touched on that with Kids!

You don't get extra points for trying....this is because you were SO wrong that it doesn't even matter what you were TRYING to do!

Maybe I should have John explain it when he sees you - you know, man to man.

Sun, 01/06/2002 - 11:15 PM Permalink
ThoseMedallingKids

Why do I have this feeling that in my man to man talk, John will say "Save yourself! Don't do it, don't give in! Be strong man, while there is still a chance!"

Thats a good idea Lee,THX will be there for ya too Kids.It'll be fine,just remeber that whatever they tell you,it is wrong because they are guys too!

Nah, you are too young for that talk.

He will just tell you about the point scale.

As a preview - you are always so far in the negative you can never catch up. Everything good you do, no matter how good, is worth one point.

Sun, 01/06/2002 - 11:17 PM Permalink
Scribe

And everything bad you do is worth negative three.:)

ThoseMedallingKids

So I could take care of the kids, let her go to a day spa, go shopping, eat out, have fun with her girlfriends, and come home to a clean house, and that would just be worth one point?

Scribe

Good job on the phrase Kids! Just remember that and you'll be just fine.:)

Thanks Scribe. And I didn't even have to refer to my notes!

I see that Scribe and THX have a healthy relationship and that they completely understand the point system.

TMK, you are right on the money. Now you get it.

Sun, 01/06/2002 - 11:20 PM Permalink
Scribe

Actually Kids,You will probably lose points on all of that.You won't clean the house right(what you think is clean and what she thinks is clean are two different things),the kids will be cranky(this is because you got them all riled up),the appointment at the day spa didn't include a french manicure(and thats your fault because you made the appointment),eat out(thats because you didn't cook a gourmet meal).

THX, where are you on the point scale?

THX 1138

I vacumed the kitchen rug tonight. Took out the garbage. Fixed the washing machine (And put a load in when I was done). Did the dishes twice. Played nintendo two different times with all three of the kids. Cooked dinner and fed the cats.

No kidding, true story.

Scribe says, I didn't vacum the living room. Playing nintendo with the kids doesn't count for points. She says I should be in bed with my wife. Since I'm not, I'm loosing points and am at -47.

That's where the point system gets ya.

Just wanted to tell everyone something pretty funny... On my way home from grocery shopping I stopped by Phalen (It's close to my house.) and took a quick drive around. In one of the parking lots was a Mini van with a Pioneer Press logo on it and a man standing out side of it with a PA jacket on. I thought to myself this mustn't be a sign this park would suck!I I am not implying at all that it was someone scouting it out, like a spotter or anything. It was probably just a paper delivery person or something. I just believe in signs and stuff like that! You know like when you ask yourself should I do that' and suddenly lighting fills the sky. (Call me corny.) Anyway that's it!
