• 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....

GREAT - More Legislation!

Blumenthal, the attorney general, sent letters to legislative leaders and DEP Commissioner Gina McCarthy, asking them to support a proposed law that would ban all potentially dangerous exotic animals, such as chimpanzees, crocodiles and poisonous snakes, from being kept in a residential setting in Connecticut.

From this article related to the chimp that was killed here the other day.

When are they going to legislate people that circumvent the law, whether directly (by hiding illegal animals) or indirectly (i.e., being "grandfathered in)?" I mean, I have a dog that I love to treat like a baby, but when company comes over, he gets kenneled to give everyone peace of mind. He is, after all, a dog--he can't speak & I can't read his mind. I respect others enough to alleviate any fears they may have, even though I feel they are unwarranted. Lots of people are intimidated by big dogs and I am considerate enough to realize that. Shoot, he's big enough to knock me over (and has on occasion), so I take care that it doesn't happen to anyone else.
Now, I am in no way comparing my dog knocking me down to a chimp mauling a woman to the point of being unrecognizable, but come on people--USE SOME COMMON SENSE WHEN IT COMES TO OWNING ANIMALS!
STOP regulating the animals so much and START to focus on regulating the people that own them!
