Time capsules

Time capsules are a pretty sweet idea. Put some loot in a capsule, bury it up, and leave instructions for the next generation to uncover it and check out your loot. The sweetest part is opening it up. Seeing all your really new/really old loot. It is sorta too bad that if you make one, someone else will open it long after you're gone. Well, not anymore. I am making the next gen time capsule. Hopefully I will have these available soon on ebay. You get the capsule, put some loot in there, and bury it or just put it in a drawer, and as early as two weeks later, dig it up. I did a two week capsule with a can of deodorant, some pjs, a pocket knife and some m&ms. In two weeks, I couldn't remember what the hell I put in there, and when I opened it, happy birthday to me! My knife that I thought I lost, an almost new can of deodorant, some pjs, my knife that I couldn't find and, hell yeah, m&ms. If you put money in there, you should prolly bury it for longer, money is more difficult to forget about. If you want to bury something and dig it up two weeks later that feels dated and old, may I suggest a copy of In Touch magazine or a picture of Paris Hilton? These next gen time capsules admittedly work best if you are either ADHD, or have short term memory loss. However, if you are not afflicted, it can still be sweet. Maybe two weeks just won't be long enough for you. Also, the more trivial the items, the more quickly they are forgotten. Try not to think too much about what you put in, just grab whatever is close that is not car keys.
