    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Bad Guy Nick Lillis

This whole thing just keeps getting weirder and weirder......and everyone involved seems shady and dishonest and puts enough doubt that I wouldn't deal with anyone if my life depended on it (and that included Linda, Traci, Nick, and any of their "buddies).....one thing I found odd, Linda can't even spell her friend's name correctly......the whole thing reeks.

DavidBeard, I am sick and tired of you making accusation about me being dishonest and shady and other conspiracy theories. I came back to post the little that I know and am not coaching or conspiring with anyone. Lucille asked me to come back and post and help find the truth and so I did. I am not the best writer. Sorry if I misspelled a word, am sure you will find other spelling errors as well. People like you are what stop the truth from coming out. I would never call you any of the names you have called me and accused me of because I do not know you and you do not know me.

I make statements based on facts......you've tried to speed rumors via email about people and attempted to play some major manipulation games in this thread. No "theory" has been put forth. You have your own actions to blame for what others think of you.

I disagree sometimes when people are pressed they change stories or slip up. You might not like what he has to say or agree with how he posts but he isnt keeping the truth from coming out

The 29th of what month?
Click to expand...

Excellent question as I can see why you may have asked.

I looked it up and the only New England Reptile Expo, scheduled for the 29th (year 2017), was/is January 29th.
I believe that the New England Reptile Expo is the only reptile show that takes place in Manchester.

Re. my last post, it brings to mind another question.
The screenshot, allegedly of a vet's message, does not show the year (year is covered by ***).
Is there a screenshot, of same message in existence, that shows the year it was sent?

DavidBeard you are a really piece of work. I never tried to manipulate this thread. I saw sknks that did not look good and spoke my opinion. Any message to what I believed at the time and now know differently, was to an admin to actually slow down what was happening here as there was a person that had accused Nick of something (with no proof) and I was letting Lucille know that that person may have wanted to come forward. I let her know that the accusation was from a 3rd party. I also apologized to Lucille for being short with her and told her I meant no disrespect. That is all. In beginning, I was truly worried and that is all and did want to know the truth. I have since called Nick and am truly surprised. It is true that I had Nick on the phone in a very pleasant conversation and I asked him if he wanted me to message Naomi and ask for proof. He said yes and with Nick on phone, I did just that. About a minute and a half later, a report came in. I sent it to Nick for him to investigate. Nick thanked me, then shortly later messaged me back with some other info. Again, you do not know me so stop calling me names please.

:iagree:


The process of posting while it does get heated from time to time, is the process that encourages the truth. David is tireless, and fearless.
He may not hit the bulls eye 100% of the time but he gets pretty close a lot of the time.

I do think this thread will be relentless in its search for truth and facts and I do believe that as those involved post more and others come forward, readers will get a clearer idea and be able to better judge for themselves what they believe.
 
Another question, if Nick's version of events is accurate &/or to be believed, why in the world would Naomi want to get the brother, of the critter they purchased, ~after~ the one, that they purchased, had, allegedly, tested positive for crypto?

If I was in Naomi's alleged position, Free or not, there would be no way, in hell, I would get another critter from Nick ... much less the brother of the critter they had purchased.

While the search for the truth is important Lucille, I do not feel like I did anything wrong. I was letting you know that a 3rd party made accusations and was only letting you know what they were and letting you know that she might come here. I do not ever repeat rumors publicly and feel it was ok to let you know (as a moderator) that there was a widespread rumor that was NOT proven. You asked me to ask that party to come forward and I did. But she seemed like taking time and by then, I also had my doubts. You asked me to come back and use my own words... so here I am. I am not the best writer. I am not in some scheme with anyone. I am, like you, in search of what the truth is. I believe a person is innocent until proven guilty and I would not want anyone saying these things about me unless they had concrete proof, which I have never seen.

If that is true, I agree.

Linda, what date did you talk to Nick?
Click to expand...

If my old phone is not messed up, it says the 13th, however, we talked on 2 days I believe. On my tablet I see I sent Nick the report on Tuesday at 6:29 pm my time and was on the phone with Nick at the time. We even discussed my old truck that was heating up and his opinion was that I either have a blown head gasket or a cracked blocked. Then we messaged back and forth in a friendly way. He looked up the vet and messaged me about it.
 
Linda, stop playing the part of a victim......nobody has called you names, I have just described your behavior. Don't like it? Change your behavior.

You "tried* to play some angles with Lucille privately in email and got butt-hurt when she posted about it here. Your attempts to be sneaky & help your dishonest friend Traci fell on deaf ears and it obviously upset you.

You're right, I don't know you. I have no bias. I am objectively commenting on what I see about you. No emotions, and also no filter. If you want something sugar coated, go see your baker.

Please DavidBeard, I was only letting Lucille know that there was a rumor... not that I believed it, and told her a 3rd party wanted to come forward. She then asked me to ask that person to come forward and that is what I did. If you really want to weed out the truth as Lucille said you are good at, then why not let Lucille ask me questions and I will try to help? This is why I dont like to post here, but Lucille asked me to come forward and help with questions and answers. So can you please let me do that now?
 
I'm not stopping you from doing *anything*.....stop making excuses, and AGAIN, playing the necessary part of a victim. Nobody is buying the act.
