    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....

For me, heart to heart talks frequently take place in the kitchen.

I have a good friend, she is 70 and does not care for reptiles, and she invites me over to her usually cluttered kitchen in her tiny house and she makes me coffee and often buys treats like cheesecake to share, and we sit and talk as friends.

My son visited here the other day, he did not need anything but to just 'touch base', we sat in my kitchen and he shared his life.

When two people are ready to talk, I suppose wherever they are is a good place, after all what counts is the feelings and friendship; but somehow during my life, my most personal exchanges have taken place at modest kitchen tables.

How about you? Are there any places you feel are more conducive to others for heartfelt exchanges?
Where have your most important talks taken place?
 
Either in the bedroom or on a barstool.
 
With friends and partners its usually the bedroom where I feel safest about real heart to hearts, the local barstool for the smaller heart to hearts. With my parents it was always the dining room table with my mom or the pool table with my dad.
