I'm Not Hooked ! Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

MsDelilah: Unfortunately there has been no response regarding this geocache, and sadly I am forced to archive it at this time. If at some point in the near future the cache is determined to still be present or is replaced, please e-mail me via the link on my profile page. If it still meets the current guidelines, we can discuss unarchiving it at that time.

Thank you,

MsDelilah

Geocache Description:


This is a real cache

Do you have a problem with geocaching?
Only you can answer that question for yourself. However, taking the following quiz may help to put your relationship to geocaching in perspective for you. If you end up answering "yes" to three or more questions, you may want to take a good look how your life is affected by geocaching.

Have you missed classes or work because of geocaching?
Do you have trouble refusing geocaching?
Do you need geocaching in order to have fun at a party?
Do you use geocaching to build up your self-confidence?
Do you use geocaching to help you relax?
Do more people know you by your caching name than your real name?
Have you tried to give up geocaching and failed?
Do you crave geocaching as soon as you wake up?
Do you get into trouble because of geocaching?
Do you crave geocaching at a definite time daily?
Do you lie to others about how often you partake in geocaching?
Do you support fuel companies by driving around looking for geocaches or hiding spots?

Do you check geocaching.com web site more than once a day?
Can you drive past a Dollar Store without thinking about geocaching?

We're here to help.
This cache is a test to see how addicted to Geocaching you really are.

Your goal is to not find this cache. We all know that there are those among us (and you know who you are!) who, when they look at the page showing their 20 nearest caches, see nothing but a perfect page full of finds. Then that new cache comes along and spoils your pristine page. It sits there at the top of the list. Taunting you. Staring at you like a giant unblinking eye. It calls out to you. "Fiiiind meeee..." You comply, even though the sun is barely peeking over the horizon. If you're lucky, you score a First Find, and then race back to log it in and remove it from your top 20 list.

Ahhhhh. Order again.

The question is, how strong are you?
Can you resist searching out this cache? You have nothing to gain from finding it.

There is no invigorating hike.
There are no breathtaking views. (Maybe a little bit)
There are no cool first finder prizes or other cool pieces of cache swag to trade for.
The idea for this cache is not even my own.
Even the text is blatantly plagiarized from several similar ones.
The only thing you have to gain from searching out this cache is just adding another find to your total. Show the world how strong you are. You can stop Geocaching anytime you want. Really you can...

"Fiiiind meeee..."

To post a find here…

The FTF MUST post a 50 word essay as to why he/she is NOT hooked on caching.

ALL other cachers MUST post a 30 word essay on why he/she is NOT hooked on caching.

Logs WITHOUT essays may be removed.
