Something for the parents

[The Seeker of Good Songs]

We discovered a great activity to do with the kids this past weekend.
It's called "Letterboxing". It is kind of like treasurehunting.

"Letterboxing is growing hobby that combines elements of hiking, treasure hunting and creative expression into an activity that the whole family can enjoy. Participants seek out hidden letterboxes by following clues that are posted on the Internet (see the Web sites listed below), and then record their discovery in their personal journal with the help of a rubber stamp that's part of the letterbox. In addition, letterboxers have their own personal stamps which they use to stamp into the letterbox's log book."

We found two this past weekend and it was fun. The kids kept saying "lets look for more."

Just passing the info in case anyone is looking for things to do with the family.

Do a search on "lettterboxing" for more info.

Here are a couple sites to start with.

No I don't. I'm a loner. :p Though I just wouldn't be me without frequent awkward situations. Girlfriends scare me, like, a lot. :o

That is my favorite song. Great to belt out REALLY loud, especially that ending part with "bored before I even began" and etc.

You know "Josh's Mu" lives in Chicago as well... you should see about meeting up with him when your bored and he is not hanging out with his G/F.

[Kuiper]

I know he lives in Chicago, he's nice.

Pft, "girlfriend", good in theory, bad in practice.

[BoyRacer]

soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo what else is going on?

[Kuiper]

Where is the video in your signature from?

[BoyRacer]

I have No Idea....a guy I know at my work emailed me one day and had it attached to his msg, so i copied it and emailed it home to use here. I know, i know.... not very original.......but would you expect anything less from an eccentric bastard like myself?

BR

[Kuiper]

You are a cool bastard. You uploaded a Cure bootleg for me, remember?

[BoyRacer]

your the one that wanted one from the pornography tour?

[Kuiper]

Yes I am. It was really good.

[BoyRacer]

i got a ton more old stuff uploading as we type. Ill post it allup inthe other music forum. Grab it if you have an interest.

[Kuiper]

Okay thanks I will. :)

[BoyRacer]

[Kuiper]

To me this is the end of the night, I'm at home till morning, but okay.

[BoyRacer]

And I am a procrastinator...and should be doing school work, but I have been struck with a severe case of laziness.

[Kuiper]

Well I'm feeling lazy because I've done enough today, but I don't feel like going to bed. I like the original idea, going out drinking til we get courage.

[BoyRacer]

you will know your bored when you log on here to upload random crap off your hard drives.....................aka my world.

[Kuiper]

Funny I'm watching Live in Dallas on my computer right now, King Leer specifically. "You'll never guess, I'm bored now" :D I should upload that, but if Introducing Morrissey is anything to go by it will take 2 hours, by which time I hopefully will be sleeping.

[BoyRacer]

either that -- or -- until i bore you to sleep with my mindless rambling.

[Kuiper]

either that -- or -- until i bore you to sleep with my mindless rambling.

Or I will also mindlessly ramble. It will be a mutual posting lullaby.

[BoyRacer]

And if i didnt have such a problem falling asleep I would try to use it to sleep. But................ no joy.

[Kuiper]

I like this painting (mindless rambling)
