    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

1. To cause to become physiologically or psychologically dependent on a habit-forming substance:
The thief was addicted to cocaine.

2. To occupy (oneself) with or involve (oneself) in something habitually or compulsively

A person who is addicted is known as an addict.
Many drugs (especially recreational drugs), for example, cause a set of medical conditions that include stimulating desire for more of the drug (more Corns ), increasing tolerance of higher doses(more corns), and pain or discomfort upon terminating use,called withdrawal, (Less Corns). ;)

The word "Cornoholic" or "Corn Loco" (Corn Fiend?)
is some times used jokingly to refer to a corn snake hobbyist..

Although the term is used loosely rather than seriously, there is actually something in this, because any pleasurable activity releases endorphins, and this endorphin-rush can become 'addictive'.

Seek professional treatment if the urge to rob the convenience store on the corner for the "MooLaa" to buy more and more Corn Snake morphs becomes an issue for oneself. hehe. ;)

So many Corn snakes, so little time...
Nobody sets out to be "corn hoe"...but as the addiction grows...
:)
