+Puppy Galore Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 This one came up in the car the other night, after I left work early because someone had just placed Interception Bug 2 in a cache close to us. Basically, I rushed home just after 5, and we then set off to the site without any tea... We started playing the game of 'You know you're addicted to geocaching when...." The best ones we came up with were : ...when you pack the lunchbox for your kids for school, it contains, a logbook, pencil, sharpener, a rubber duck, a yoyo, some bootlaces, a G:UK keyring and a mini torch. or You leave a scrap of paper in your workmates lunch box, saying "Took ham sandwich, left egg+cress sandwich, couldn't find logbook" and, finally when you sit through the entire "Blair Witch Project" spotting hollow logs and rock crannies....

+DomHeknows Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 funny that...... We were just talking about how addicted you were getting - I hope you are still taking your dog for the therapy walks. Quote Link to comment
+Puppy Galore Posted September 15, 2004 Author Share Posted September 15, 2004 (edited) funny that...... We were just talking about how addicted you were getting - I hope you are still taking your dog for the therapy walks. Lol! Yeah, we were down at Astbury Mere a couple of hours ago, giving her a theraputic swim. I think that she's fitter than we are now! She did about 7 miles on Sunday (but we did end up with two cache finds to show for it!) Oh, and while we were around the edge picking up that bug, our poor sick limping doggie took it into her head to take off after a bunny for the first time since her operation. She didn't catch it, though (hehe) Edited September 15, 2004 by Puppy Galore Quote Link to comment
davester Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 You know you're addicted when............ After spending half an hour talking to your missus on the phone, you discover that you've actually been whispering sweet nothings to your Geko 201. Quote Link to comment
+Daisy&me Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 I have a feeling of de-ja-vu see here. A Markwell... Andy. You know you're addicted to caching when you can remember all the forum post that went before. Quote Link to comment

+mongoose39uk Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 You know when you're addicted to geocaching because ... you've been out of bed for 30 mins and you're already reading the forums and checking for new caches in the area ... and you haven't even had a cup of tea yet!! 30 minutes? 1) Log on before getting out of bed. 2) After drinking large amounts of red wine etc. You go back to your hotel room (3 in the morning) and plan eight caches on your route home with a 40 mile deviation of route. 3) When your recptionist knows who to put calls through to when somone rings up and says is mongoose there. 4) You have caching kit in the companies pool car Quote Link to comment

Guilty - and its 4.30am and you are checking forums before driving 100 miles to go up a mountain on a cold and wet saturday. 3) When your recptionist knows who to put calls through to when somone rings up and says is mongoose there. or all the local caches know your ddi line or just ring you on your mobile. 4) You have caching kit in the companies pool car the company car IS your cachemobile and you have more holders for pda's and gps's than carphone holders by a 3:1 ratio Quote Link to comment
