    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....

GUELPH, Ont. -- A teenager who helped his friend kill geese and ducks to feed a giant monitor lizard will be performing 40 hours of community service.

And the judge who sentenced the teen recommended that those hours be spent at a humane society branch or similar organization that cares for animals.

The 15-year-old had earlier pleaded guilty to stealing several birds as well as killing a goose and a duck at Guelph's Kortright Waterfowl Park.

Court heard that staff at the park saw an intruder walking around the property on Feb. 1 and saw the intruder remove an emperor goose from a pen. By the time the park manager approached the man, he had decapitated the goose.
