Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Dale,
Would like to be sympathetic to someone with four kids, works 14-16 hours a day, etc. I have four kids (or "had", as three or full grown and outta here). Not a fan of David either, but you introduced your kids etc into the thread clearly looking for sympathy. In the end, how hard is it to come here and say "I am responsible for the screw-up on sex. I owe her some compensation, but I do not have the means right now. I will fix it as soon as I am able. Jessica has been very patient. I thank her". Then that's it. Leave the thread. Communicate straight-forward with Jessica, as in "don't make promises you can't keep", and move on. Even if it takes six more months. Its better than the excuses. Again, I speak from enormous experience gained in my ignorant youth. Good luck getting things better. I know some west coast folks who are to die for, btw.

I stand by what I said. You used your kids as your excuse for not living up to your end of the deal. I am questioning YOUR parenting skills, not bashing your kids, although, I can see where you might think that by the way I wrote my post. As a parent, you are supposed to teach your kids the right way to do things, which is not always the easy way to do things. It has happened here before, kids get brought up, parents get called deadbeats, and they go off on a "Don't bring my kids into this" rant. If you cannot take care of probably the least expensive Ball issue ever, on the BOI, what the heck are you doing selling snakes in the first place. I have lived all over the Country ( Alabama, Rhode Island, Mass., Virgina, New Mexico, Washington State), and abroad, (England) but I tell ya, California is amazing, expensive, but a great place to live. Dog it all you want, but I just got out of my pool. I can swim probably 5 or 6 months out of the year, comfortably, and I love swimming. You cannot do that outdoors in most States. I love how you use scammer 101, section A, subsection 1.3.12, and try to make it about me bashing your kids. Nice try, take care of your business, and I will mind mine.

Dale,
You did say you would take care of it by the end of the month in your last email. I missed that part. You type in dense blocks of text with no punctuation and it's hard to read, but i went back and looked and it is there. I probably wouldn't have sent the last email i did if i had understood you correctly, and i'm sorry for my mistake.
You have to understand that you've been giving me promises with self-imposed deadlines over and over again this entire time. I'm having a really hard time believing that i;ll get any kind of refund, but if you do it, i will of course tell everyone that you did.
I've told you before that i don't want to wreck anyone or make any enemies, but damnit - i also don't want to be taken advantage of. I feel like i did everything right (except perhaps selling the snake, but even then i didn't feel i had a choice). I was patient and good natured until i reasonably felt i was just getting shafted, and i'm still willing to forgive and forget, just ... fix the problem you sold me and it's done.

$hit, you guys even got me laughing. I must be genetically inferior, cause not only do my walnuts turn into peanuts, but my python turns into a ring-neck. This is pretty crass.
