• 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....

DHL screws up again!

They sent the package I shipped to the wrong airport on the opposite side of the country. Now it won't arrive until maybe tomorrow. All they can say is "sorry, we put the package in the wrong bin but we'll try to expedite delivery".
This sucks. I really hope the little guy makes it. I only had a 40 hour heat pack in there.
He was in a deli cup and there was insulation in the brand new box but still, I am freaking out now over this.
 
He should be ok , I've had packages shipped to me by bad carriers that didn't gaurentee delivery and it showed up whenever . They came out ok. If its a well packed box the styro should hold the heat for a bit. Hope it turns out for the better.
 
He arrived!
I got the email that he was cold and not moving too much but is now more active since warming up.
