Here are the ones I know (or think I know):

X - stamps exchanged while on the trail (for instance if you and I
met on the trail we would stamp each other's books and each have
an "X" -- and being you are from MI, this could actually happen!)

E - Event stamps
C - I believe some people are using this one for "confiscations"
(boxes that have been removed, primarily by the NPS)
L - Lizards

As for V, R, and TS... I haven't a clue

The only other one I know is "V". It stands for Virtual boxes I
believe.

Yes that makes sense for "V"... hope to work on finding a few of
those and try my hand at coming up with a few once the snow flies.

...and I'm thinking that maybe TS could be the number of telephone
solicitors you avoided by getting out of the house to letterbox.

I think all the letters are accounted for but the R and the TS.
You'll remember a few days ago Psychomommy told that story of how she
got stuck in the mud and 14 fireman, policeman and paramedics came.
After that event she added an R to her count, the R standing for
Rescues. I don't remember who uses TS.

LOL! Avoiding telephone solicitors is an added benefit I hadn't
thought of... : )

The other day Randy mentioned Traveler's and referred to Graham
Howard's post of 3/5/01.
I guess I am the only letterboxing nerd/geek that read Graham
Howard's message, plus all the other posts that were in reference to
the subject.
Guess what- there are B's and P's that are counted by the Brits. You
can go read about them.
T stands for Traveler, or what ever you wish(transformation).
L is my son's lizard count that started at a googol.
I still say the E is an E.T. count for the group in Ohio that are
Star Wars fans.
C is confiscated, Don can tell you his sad stories.

--- The Turtle says I've gotten too complicated and says I should
just do P & F's. I'm just having fun and there ARE NO RULES. V is
virtuals, C is confiscated by NPS, R is being rescued by handsome
men, L is dedicated to my darling nephew (but are my actual reptile
counts) and TS is Firefly's very special count and it's not
telemarketers/solicitors. Scout Dogs has A for attempts. Don't you
just love a spot/hobby that you can make up you own rules? Think
outside the box!!! Loving Life, Mudmommy

P.S. Thanks to all who e-mailed me with their very kind thoughts.
Hope to meet all of you some day! :-)

I use C too but not for confiscations, but for "Carved" to keep track of how many I have carved for myself and others...

Can open...worms everywhere!

Good hunting!
