Cuckoo Clues

From: psycomommy2003 (ktborrelli@hotmail.com) | Date: 2002-09-25 12:39:18 UTC
I've put a lot of thought into this. Should I announce a cuckoo
clue find or not. Since it is my first time I decided Heck Yes!!! I'm
so excited! I remember reading about them in the FAQ's page. Since
I'm not saying where I found it, or when, or where it's going I
figured it was O K. Yippee!!!!

Please, could you at least tell us which State you found the Cuckoo in
?? Are you going to the 'nest'? I am so happy to hear about it, as I
was the first to find it and haven't heard anything else about it. I did
go peek at the nest recently and saw only one person had been there.
[besides me] It was the best fun to find it and hope others will find
it soon

Thanks, again, SpringChick. I must be really dense, because all the
variations on the cuckoo clue are still clear as mud to me. I guess I
will just have to be patient until I experience my first one.
