    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....

OCALA, Fla. -- A 42-year-old woman is recovering after being bitten by a poisonous snake while shopping.

Emergency medical workers said that the woman was shopping for plants at a Lowe's Home Improvement store when she noticed a stinging feeling in her leg. Medics discovered she had been bitten twice on the right shin.

Employees killed the 1-foot-long dusky pygmy rattlesnake with a yard tool. The snake is one of six poisonous varieties native to Florida.

Lowe's spokeswoman Karen Cobb says it's not clear where the snake came from. She says store employees scoured the area but found no other snakes, and the company isn't aware of anything similar happening in Lowe's before.

I don't know why people are so surprised when something like this happens. Snakes have the ability to get into almost every man made object. Especially stores with vents and air ducts that are open to the outside. Especially in the plant section of stores.
