Geocaching is an on-line game for gps users. Individuals and organizations set caches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on the internet. GPS users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches. Once the Cache is found, the Geocacher 1. Take something from the cache 2. Leave something in the cache 3. Write about it in the logbook and reports it on-line
Today I planted my first Multi-cache - The first cache gives coordinates to the next location which gives coordinate to the final cache.
The Greenbrier Martyr
by StarGazerGal
N 37° 48.090 W 080° 26.628
This is a Pleasant Stroll through Downtown Lewisburg and two graveyards
This Cache Honors Mr. David Creigh known as the Greenbrier Martyr. In November, 1863, a straggling camp follower, or marauding Federal soldier entered the home of Mr. David Creigh near Lewisburg, West Virginia, and attempted by force to enter the room of his , when Mr. Creigh interposed and attempted to eject him; he sought the life of
Mr. Creigh, who believing himself in great danger killed the man.
General Averill in the spring of 1864, on his retreat with Crook from Cloyd's farm, had Mr. Creigh arrested and tried by a drumhead court martial, which sentenced Mr. Creigh to be hanged, which sentence was approved by General
Hunter.
Additional Hints ( Encrypted Message that is Decrypted for the blog )
General Spruce Goes To Africa to Meet Stonewall.
Actually - The First Cache is a magnetic card on a metal box in a Dollar General Parking Lot which gives the Coordinated that lead to a Spruce Tree in the Old Stone Church Graveyard which lead to a Stone Wall Formation in the African American Graveyard where the final Cache is. If there are any cachers on SFF, I just made it easier for you all.

I asked my to suggest a name. My is a lover of heavy metal music and suggested the name of Sid Vicious. I am not sure I want my cat associated with the word "Vicious" I thought of the name "Bocephus" which is the nickname of Hank Williams Jr since I am a lover of country music.
I googlesearched Sid Vicious and discovered that he was arrested for murdering his girlfriend but died of a drug overdose before he could go to trail. When I was checking out Celebaty Mug Shots. There was the smiling mug of Hank Williams Junior aka "Bocephus" among the rich and famous who made it to the pookie. He was arrested in April for assault, battery and choking a waitress. Most likely alcoholic stupidity. I told my what I discovered about Sid Vicious and he commented "Yeah! but I liked his music. I like Hank William Jr's Music too. Too bad, Sid Vicious and Hank William's Junior are both schmucks.
'Cause when you're a celebrity, it's adios reality.
You can act just like a fool;
People think you're cool just 'cause you're on TV.
I'll get to cy to Barbara Walters,
When things don't go my way.
An' I'll get community service,
No matter which law I break.
I'll make the supermarket tabloids,
They'll write some awful stuff.
But the more they run my name down,
The more my price goes up.
Aw, where's my coffee?

George W Bush Solar Return Chart
July 5, 2006 - 0706PM EDT
Capitol View, DC
076W55'54 38N53'22
The Solar Return is the Birthday Chart which is when the Sun returns to the exact degree of the Sun's location at Birth. This is the Birthday Chart and gives insight about the kind of year that George W Bush is looking forward to.
The Twelfth House Sun is keeping company with a Retrograded Leo Mercury - This year starts out with information that has been kept in the closet coming into the limelight. Sensitive Confidential information leaks to places where it is not suppose to will result in some individuals connected with the President becoming guests in the Federal Bed and Breakfast Facilities (incarceration). Somebody should have kept their big mouth shut and didn't.
The Ascendant on the fifth house is in Sagittarius keeping company with Pluto. Immediately on the horizon are issues with the proposed Constitutional Amendment Defining Marriage. Sagittarius promotes understanding. A prominent religious leader or perhaps a or of someone closely associated with the President will 'Come out of the Closet' on same gender relationship issues. This summer will have a lot of focus on the definition of marriages from both schools of thought.
By Early Fall, A Sudden Unexpected Major incident regarding the War on Drugs will bring National Attention and a new direction.
In January, A woman associated with Bush comes into the limelight with communications that bring new insight and by March - some folks will be doing time.

Astrology - In Love With The Wrong Sign According To The Stars - Maybe Not
|
Posted:Jul 1, 2006 11:32 pm
Last Updated:Oct 12, 2018 11:51 pm 3631 Views

Logically Speaking - Fire (Aries, Leo, Saggittauius) blend best with Air (Libra, Gemini, Aquarius) While Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) blends best with Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)
As the saying goes a fish and a bird can fall in love but do they live in the water or in the air.
Thus would Dreamy Pisces (Water) and Spacy Libra (Air) be a love connection. If there is a mutual attraction, you can bet there are planetary energies saying Yea.
It takes more than just the sign where the horoscope is read to determine if you and your honey are a love connection.
The Daily Horoscope is only the beginning of the mysteries of of astrology. Folks who investigate futher will learn more about themselves and soon discover that 12 horoscope signs in newspapers and magazines are less than the tip of the iceberg in a vast in an intricate system of splendid cosmic order.
Folks seeking astrological consultation ask about family, job, health, and what the purpose in life. The most common questions involve love and relationships.
The most frequently asked questions of astrologers regards compatibility like this: "The Native is Leo and her partner's is Taurus. They are not supposed to get along very well, but they do--why?"
The answer is simple: Folks are much more than their sun signs. There is also the moon, Venus Mars, the fifth HOuse and the Rising Signs to comsider. It two people are attracted to each other there is a connection to be found in the charts.
The truth is that any two signs can get along with each other because 'synastry' (a.k.a. understanding how charts relate to one another) involves comparing and analyzing all of the planets involved in both charts.
The Moon represents the home, security, and inner life; Mercury represents communication; Venus represents affection and taste; Mars represents physicality and competition; Jupiter represents philosophy, religion and travel; Saturn represents Karmic responsibility and "time" contracted to spend with one another; "Uranus" represents electricity and instant attraction; Neptune represents psychic attunement; and Pluto represents transformational potential.
Other points to consider are the ascendant (rising sign), descendant, the Midheaven and the IC of the chart as well as the Moon's nodes and Vertex (a point of fate).

On the Topic of My Feet! Yeah Baby! Yeah Baby! Yeah!

In the Magazine a member quotes
miss astrointellegent did you find them belloons that looks like feet at WallyTrollyWorld too? or maybe the Circus in town agen? lol
Thus the Topic of FEET!!!!!
Most women think they have ugly feet. --Sharilyn Abbajay, general manager, Elizabeth Arden salon (Chevy Chase, Maryland; Roberts 1995 1)
Some folks have narrow feet, some folks have wide feet. In Ancient Chinese culture, a feet were binded to prevent them from growing. This was suppose to be a turn on for the guys. Gadzooks!
Thus a member of the magazine feels the need to insult my feet. Granted they may be as politically incorrect as my boobs, but they serve me well.
The ancient Chinese man would look at my feet and run. My feet are wide and would unlikely fit into Cinderella's Glass Slipper. My heritage is Blackfeet Indian. They were called so because they wore moccasins with dye that left their feet permanently colored black. That is cool with me - I like my Native American Heritage.
My feet are good for standing, walking, dancing, and displaying footwear. They are also very very sensual. In my younger years I studied Reflexology.
Reflexology is the belief the foot to be divided into a number of reflex zones corresponding to all parts of the body, and that applying pressure to tight or "gritty" areas of a person's foot will stimulate the corresponding body part and cause it to begin healing itself.
In a few weeks, I will be going on a 77 mile hike with a gentleman that I met on this site. It will take a few days so we will be camping. Can you imagine at the end of the day after much hiking, we have a romantic campfire blazing and one or the other declares. "Honey can you massage my feet?"
Yeah Baby! Yeah Baby! Don't Stop! Yeah Baby! Yeah!
These feet are made for walkin and that's just they'll do - One of these days these feet are gonna..........
Are you ready feet, Start Walkin........

Greenbrier River Trail and Whoopee In The Wilderness
|
Posted:Jun 24, 2006 4:09 am
Last Updated:Jun 27, 2006 2:29 pm 3499 Views

Thursday, I received an e-mail from a gentleman on the site asking if I would accompany him for a hike on the Greenbrier River Trail. I had plans to hike on Kate's Mountain on my own with Ferlin the Mutt. Sometimes, Plan B is good, so I left Ferlin at home and met the Gentleman.
Ferlin and I have been all over that trail at one time or another. The Greenbrier River Trail is a 77 mile long former turn of the century railroad used to serve the timber industry of that time. The trail passes through numerous small towns and traverses 35 bridges and 2 tunnels as it winds its way along the valley. Throughout much of its length, the Trail is adjacent Greenbrier River and is surrounded by the Allegheny Mountains.
The Caldwell Section of the Trail tends to be busier than the rest of the trail with bicyclist, joggers, and folks walking their dogs. My hiking companion noted all the women alone on the trail and commented that they should be concerned. I laughed and told him that I hike on my own all the time. There were huge boulders in the river. I told him that I wanted to sit in on a rock surrounded by the rushing water. It would be romantic. Maybe in a more secluded place, he commented.
If we wanted secluded, we could have gone to Kate's Mountain or another section of the Greenbrier River Trail. Eventually the conversation got on the subject of whoopee in the wilderness. He mentioned being recently divorced, he wants to do the things he should have done at Eighteen. I advised him that even though he is eighteen in a fifty-something year old body, I am still a women in a fifty-something year old body and like my creature comforts. Whoopee in the wilderness is out of the question. After about four miles. We headed back. That's an eight mile hike. Not bad for a geezer and geezerette.
I do want to hike the entire 77 mile trail. Perhaps take a few days and camp along the way. When I do, I will take Ferlin along.
Whoopee in the Wilderness indeed.

A Tale of Two Cats - Name My Kitty!!!!!!!
|
Posted:Jun 23, 2006 10:32 pm
Last Updated:Jun 24, 2006 9:58 am 3231 Views
|
Earlier this week, my ex-hubby called to tell me that his new kitten was tormenting his dog. We arranged for the kitten to live someplace else. I suggested that he consider adopting an adult cat with a mellow disposition. So we took a trip to the doggie jail. I didn't not want a cat but now I have a cat. The kitty needs a home, life on life's terms. My ex-hubby found a georgous black long haired male cat. He was paying the fee and was advised that he could adopt another cat at a 50 percent discount. Thus a male cat that kind of sort of looks like Garfield will be coming home with me. The Black Cat will be Merlin. My ex-hubby names all of his cats Merlin. I am not sure what the Garfield lookalike's name is yet. I though about Chango but maybe not. I really didn't want a cat but after holding him, I decided - "he's cool, he can come live with me."
The cats get neutered on Tuesday and move to thier new homes on Wednesday. If I had a bigger house and more $$$$$$ - I would have taken more cats and a few dogs home.
I wish it were that easy to get a man to bring home. Life on Life's Terms.

Beautiful Soup So Full Of Cabbage
|
Posted:Jun 22, 2006 12:42 am
Last Updated:Jun 23, 2006 2:41 pm 3397 Views
|
After reading Ola6000's Blog - I decided to give this a try. I realize that this is only a jumpstart - Permanent Lifestyle changes are required. Exercise is also required in order to speed up the metabolism. Diet alone puts the system in a starvation mode and the metabolism slows down causing the body to pack even more weight.
Basic Fat-Burning Soup
Modified by Dr. Michael Tierra L.AC., O.M.D.
Ingredients:
6 large green onions or large red onion
1-2 cans of tomatoes
1 large head of cabbage
2 green peppers
1 bunch celery
rosemary & tarragon for flavoring
shitake mushrooms for flavoring
1 hot pepper
2 or 3 cloves of chopped garlic
1 4 inch piece of kombu seaweed
vegetable bouillon (such as Bioforce's Plantaforce)
Spices such as rosemary, sage, thyme, tarragon or oregano can be added as desired toward the ending of cooking. Season with salt, pepper, parsley, bouillon or hot sauce, if desired. However, with the bouillon added, it probably requires little or no salt.
Cut vegetables in small to medium pieces, sauté in olive oil & cover with water. Boil fast for 10 (ten) minutes. Cut to simmer & continue cooking until vegetables are tender. This soup can be eaten any time you are hungry. Eat as much as you want, whenever you want. This soup will not add calories. The more you eat, the more you will lose. Fill a thermos in the morning if you will be away during the day. If eaten alone for indefinite periods, you would suffer from malnutrition.
DAY ONE: All fruits except bananas. Cantaloupe and watermelon are lower in calories than most fruits. Eat only the soup and fruits. For drinks - un-sweetened tea, cranberry juice, or water.
DAY TWO: All vegetables. Eat until you are stuffed with all the fresh, raw or canned vegetables. Try to eat leafy vegetables and stay away from dry beans, peas and corn. Eat along with the soup. At dinner time on this day, reward yourself with a big baked potato an butter. Do not eat any fruits.
DAY THREE: Eat all soup, fruits and vegetables you want. Do not have a baked potato. If you have eaten for three days, as above, and have not cheated, you will find you have lost 5-7 pounds.
DAY FOUR: Bananas and skim milk. Eat as many as 3 bananas and drink as many glasses of water as you can on this day along with the soup. Bananas are high in calories and carbohydrates and so is the milk, but on this particular day your body will need the potassium and the carbohydrates, proteins and calcium to lessen your craving for sweets.
DAY FIVE: Beef or lamb and tomatoes. Try to select high quality range fed animal protein free of antibiotics or hormones. You may have 10-20 ounces of beef or lamb and a can of tomatoes or as many as 6 fresh tomatoes on this day. Try to drink at least 6-8 glasses of water this day to wash away the uric acid in your body. Eat the soup at least once this day. You can substitute either wheat gluten (seitan) for the beef or lamb or aduki beans, chicken or fish.
DAY SIX: Beef or lamb & vegetables. Eat to your heart's content of the beef or lamb and vegetables this day. You can have two or three steaks if you like, with green leafy vegetables, but no baked potato. Be sure and eat the soup at least once today. You can substitute either wheat gluten (seitan) for the beef or lamb or aduki beans, chicken or fish.
DAY SEVEN: Brown rice, un-sweetened fruit and vegetables. Again, stuff yourself. Be sure to have the soup at least once today.
By the end of the seventh day, if you have not cheated on the diet, you will have lost 10-17 pounds. If you have lost more than 15 pounds, stay off the diet for two days before resuming the diet again for day one.
This seven-day eating plan can be used as often as you like. As a matter of fact, if correctly followed, it will clean your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well-being as never before.
After only seven days of this process, you will begin to feel lighter by at least 10 lbs., and possibly 17. Having an abundance of energy continue this plan as long as you wish and feel the difference.
This diet is fast, fat burning and the secret is that you will burn no more calories than you take in. It will flush your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well being. This diet does not lend itself to drinking alcoholic beverages at any time because of the removal for fat buildup in your system. Go off the diet at least 24 hours before intake of alcohol.
Because everyone's digestive system is different, this diet will affect everyone differently. After day three, you will have more energy than when you began, if you did not cheat. After being on the diet for several days, you will find your bowel movements have changed -- eat a cup o bran or fiber. Although you can have black coffee with this diet, you may find that you don't need the caffeine after the third day.
DEFINITE NO-NO'S - BREAD, ALCOHOL, CARBONATED DRINKS INCLUDING DIET DRINKS.
STICK WITH WATER, UN-SWEETENED TEA, BLACK COFFEE, UN-SWEETENED FRUIT JUICES, CRANBERRY JUICE AND SKIMMED MILK.
The basic fat-burning soup can be eaten anytime you feel hungry. Eat as much as you wish. Remember, the more you eat, the more you will lose. No fried foods or bread. You can eat broiled chicken (absolutely no skin) instead of beef. Vegetarians can use aduki or mung beans, seitan.
Any prescribed medication will not hurt you on this diet. Continue this plan as long as you wish and feel the difference both mentally and physically. If you prefer, you can substitute broiled fish for the beef on only one of the beef days. You need high protein in the beef the other days.
One of the best herbal formulas to use during this fast is Triphala. Take from 2 to tablets morning and midday and 4 in the evening. Instead of coffee or tea use a grain beverage. A very good fasting tea is a combination of nettles, chickweed and fennel seed which also helps in weight reduction. There are many excellent green drinks and soya protein powders that can be used to supplement as needed and replace meat.
To keep the weight off, replace one meal a day with soup, eat more vegetables.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This diet is derived from one given at the Sacred Heart Memorial Hospital for overweight heart patients to lose weight rapidly, usually before surgery. Modifications have been added by Dr. Michael Tierra, Acupuncturist and Herbalist.
