• 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....

Forum game! Answer the question, then pose your own question that starts with "Would you rather..."

To start:

Would you rather have a retic or a burm?
 
The country. Less people, more freedom, more nature, less stress, simpler life, etc.

Would you rather believe in God, die and realize there was no God
OR
not believe in God, die and realize there always was a God?
 
not believe in God, die and realize there always was a God.

Would you rather take a vacation to the mountains or the beach?
 
Bonnie, in spite of the fact that I'd make a terrible woman.

Would you rather be happy and deceived, or miserable in your knowledge of the truth?
 
Clyde. I am happy with my biological sex.

Would you rather walk or run to your nearest exit in case of a fire?
 
Would you rather be happy and deceived, or miserable in your knowledge of the truth?
Having been both, I will pick happy and deceived.

Would you rather have a traditional dinner at Christmas, such as turkey or ham with all the trimmings, or something different like sushi?
 
I'd rather have pizza, Nature's most perfect food
Would you rather walk or run to your nearest exit in case of a fire?
 
I would rather briskly walk.

Would you rather be able to turn invisible, or be able to read the minds of the people around you?
 
I would rather be invisible. I could sneak around and observe, without being seen.
I have no interest in reading people's horrible thoughts.

Would you rather have a large herp collection, with little time for field herping, or have lots of time for field herping, with only a tiny collection to take care of and enjoy?
 
I would prefer to have a small collection and spend more time exploring outdoors.
Would you rather have a dog or a cat?
 
I would rather have a dog.

Would you rather your company hold a holiday party, or give every employee a $100 gift card?
 
A gift card. I like get togethers but company Christmas parties alway felt like a performance, not like fun.

Would you rather fall in love and break up, or never fall in love at all?
 
Never fall in love. The idea of not having my wife anymore is unbearable. Would be easier to never experience it (forget the whole better to have loved and lost line).

Be unhappy but go down in history for something great, or be blissfully happy but completely forgotten.
 
Be unhappy but go down in history for something great, or be blissfully happy but completely forgotten.
Be blissfully happy. My father pushed us kids to be overachievers and do great things, and really I love helping people but I now think for me some personal happiness is good.

Would you rather be a pit bull or a chihuahua?
 
Chihuahua, unfortunately lol. I would hate to be well behaved and still misunderstood and mistreated.

Would you rather keep a tegu or a redtail boa?

Tegus look like a lot more work to set up and keep appropriately so I'll stick to keeping red tail boas.

Would you rather have a large Christmas celebration with generations of extended family, or would you rather attend a smaller get-together with just the immediate family?
 
Small one with immediate family. Although the few times I've attended a massive family holiday it was always a good time.

Would you rather have artistic talent or be a science wiz.
 
Since I already am a science/math whiz it might be fun to find out what it's like to have artistic ability, because I have none.

Would you rather give up alcohol for a year, or give up your Smartphone for a month?
