• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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....

Ebates - as good as free money.

Heads up!

500 stores are offering 12% cash back through Ebates!

https://www.ebates.com/flash-sale? ...o_12cashback_start_9pm&utm_content=12-12-2017

I think that link will work, but no guarantees. I just cut and pasted from my own browser will looking through the list to see if any of the stores interest me. YMMV

BTW, Lucille pointed out to me that the URL I had originally provided in the above post somehow causes subsequent referrals to Ebates to point to my account rather than yours. :eek: Sorry about that. I had no idea it would do that. In any event, I have removed those text strings from the URL line. Hopefully I will remember this the next time I post an Ebates URL here.
 
Ebates is offering 15 percent cash back from a list of 400 stores. Might be worthwhile checking out. Supposed to be effective this entire upcoming week.
