• 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....

What a sad day this has been. Regardless of different religious affiliations and loyalties, Pope John Paul II has been recognized as an amazing influence on the world. While death is imminent for all of us at some point, this world is losing one of its very finest.

While many are praying for his recovery around the world, I believe that everyone has a time to go, and all the prayers in the world will not alter that. I'll just pray that he goes peacefully.
 
It was like my grandpa dying, i took it very badly. i could not stand to see it on the news.
 
This will sound pretty bad, but...

I am no longer Catholic, but I am very sad at the loss of a great man from the world, but do not despair. Remember: the pope is one of the only people guarenteed a place directly to heaven (all of Dante's bitterness aside). So though it may sound bad: He IS in a better place, beyond the pains of the body.
