• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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....

UPS screws up AGAIN!

UPS has no idea where the package is and the place I ordered it from says it was delivered weeks ago. No it wasn't.
Now I have to deal with a claim with UPS, put in a tracer on the package, and hopefully after 8 buysiness days be able to get a reimbursement from UPS.
This should not be my problem. It should be the shippers problem.
Here is the info on the package.

Fed Ex may be no better.

I had trouble getting reimbursed by Fed Ex a week or so ago. I sent out something I sold on eBay via Fed Ex and they lost it. So I go to file a claim and they did not want to honor it because I am a known reptile shipper with Fed Ex and I did not even ship on the account that I am approved on. It took some cussing and discussing but they finally paid up.
