    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....

Bad Guy Nicole Norton/Howlinn gale dragons,Bad guy very bad guy.

Gees Nicole can you be any more dramatic?

You :censored: how dare you!!! You told me it was because I Stink at taking pictures you where editing them the whole time!! :angry: Why would you do that!! Why would you put me at risk like that! Now I know all you ever did was use me! :hot: I never met anyone that would do such low things as you do! What is wrong with you? :mah:

Payment has been declined as Ed has no owner ship of the dragon In question :) I will post Screen shots of his AIMS in a moment

Can you wait till I can make a fresh pot of coffee.


On a less serious note,

Put Nicole and Ed in a mud pit and make it pay-per-view and let me have 10% of the gross........:D

I'm all out of popcorn :(
 
Ed, I am curious about something. On your Bad Guy Thread (the most recent one), you state that Nicole has a copy of the breeding contract. In that contract, you stated it reads that Nicole was to return Prince.

Now you tried to pay her 150.00 to return him when you have a contract? Makes no sense. I know you'd never pony up cash if there really was a contract, so why pay the 150.00?
 
I guess she is backing out of yet another deal she made with me. the offer was made here on the BOI, she will deny the offer like all the other deals with me I guess? I'm trying hard to resolve things with her.

I've seen she posted a cost but $150.00 was for boarding then there was other cost for meds etc. I don't know if it's in this thread or in one of your other bad guy threads, can you provide a link?
 
Ed, my first Photoshop edition was 5.0 and although it was set up with graphics in mind more so than photography, anyone with a little time can still do almost anything they can do with the later editions. The later additions are just more user friendly in regards to photo manipulation. The most commonly used manipulations to make animals more colorful, like saturation, were just as easy to find on 5.0 as they are on cs.

That said I don't recall seeing any of your photos that looked off. And until complaints come in that animals are more colorful in pictures I don't see how your use of Photoshop is any different than any other crop, contrast, and sharpen software. I have no problems on using Photoshop to accurately depict an animal but it's use needs to be limited to manipulations that do not enhance an animals colors or other selling points.

The main thing that made me pay $99.00 for that pic program was to be able to post a clear pics so that anyone could see what the animal actually is. most pics that look good have been edited in some way. I had a newspaper photographer show me how to take good pics, he showed me how to edit pics like the pics of his in the news paper. something so small as lightening up the background makes a dark pic look much better, even tho nothing has been changed but a lil background light.I do not have the photoshop program just this small elements 5.0 that really is wonderful.all you do is enlarge and crop.:)
 
Here are 4 of 7 screen shots more to come

Ed also called me and told me he made a contract to discredit me; I unblocked his email to try to get the fake contract but instead he tried to pull the pay pal thing which has be returned to him :rolleyes:

Ed do not call or email me anymore you are one of the most childish people I have ever met. And If I find out you tried to fake my signature on a contract you just made I can get you for Fraud do you really want to go there? :shootfoot


And now I have to go to the barn my Farrier will be here in a half hour I will post the final screen Shots as soon as I get home.

It makes alot of sense. I want this resolved...she offered to accept $150.00 to send him back. thats alot cheaper than filling papers in Erie county,N.Y. court then driving up there for a court date. I would rather resolve it quickly and move on.:)

She is bitter, I am trying to resolve this mess.

I'm sorry, but I have a hard time believing that you would swallow your pride. I believe you would go the distance pushing a contract if a valid one existed. Please post the contract.
 
I don't know about anyone else but if i had a legal document proving my ownership i would at least post it and maybe try to go to court. why settle if you know you are the rightful owner?
 
Nicole, please go read through those messages yourself. You change your mind and demeanor every five minutes. In order to be in business you must be level headed. You are far from level headed. Every time you snap and curse and yell and stomp it makes you look even less mature and capable of conducting any business.

And I 110% do not buy that Ed edited your pictures. Just because he's an awful person doesn't make you a victim. Your word means absolutely no more than his. If I were you I would drop this and sort out your personal life privately.
 
This is why I just sent Nicole $150.00 she asked for it to send my Dragon back to me.

I agreed to her demand so now we will see if her word is any good and if she will do the honorable thing.

Ed please don't use the "honorable thing" line its too hypocritical . if you truly own the animal and Nicole does owe you the $ and you have proof just sue her in small claims court and be done with it . I highly doubt this thread or the other will get anything done.
 
She would beat me senseless!

How can one beat one into something one already is? One can't have any sense if they think anyone would believe the line of crap to follow:

To answer anyones question about my pics.

I do have a small pic program called photoshop elements 5.0 it is very limited what can be done with it. I use it to enlarge and crop pics so they can be clearly viewed in detail.

I would never post a small dark pic that some do, after all you can not see what they are selling with that type of pics.

Oh horse crap Ed! Software from just about any camera can do the things you use as excuses above for using photoshop. :NoNo:

Here's a great idea Ed, take better pictures and you won't have to edit them.
 
Presto change O slide of hand O
I stated once before to much critisizam that when I got into herps 5-6 years ago(yes Im still wet behind me Ears I know) that I blindly looked up to you and your name without doing all the research I should have thanks for pointing that out "Steve" My question Ed lets be real for a second too why Ed why have you turned into the Barry Bonds of Reptiles?
I thought you used to have some "Morals" Ethics and passion for our Hobby Ed what went Wrong? "Tell the truth ED it will set you free confess your sins and then we as your Peers now can sort it out and Maybe just maybe put back some of the pieces to your Business!
 
I just got back home sorry about the delay here are the other 3 Screen shots from my AIM with Ed being a child as usual; I guess I should not expect anything but that. :shrug01:

He is not the rightful owner hence how he grasping to any string he has he actually told me he has made a fake Contract If he did he would burry himself in court as I would be able to counter sue for forging my signature on a document I never saw or had part of. :rofl: I tried to get him to say he made the fake contract on the AIM but sadly he is not unintelligent enough to put that in writing as he knows I would post it.

And Ed swallow his pride :rofl: please don't make laugh so hard I will feel it tomorrow!

Sorry the screen shots are kinda blurry I can send the full size one by email for anyone who would like it I have Dial up :ack2: so I try to keep files small when I post on here or it takes forever.

Also so everyone understands the part on offering him a baby lb for prince to shut him up is because I am sick and tired of his 5 year old tantrums and sick of his twisted lies I do not even have to offer this to him as I own the dragon he is trying to Steal from me.

Ed a little tip if you ever some how manage to get another women don't give any more gifts then you don't have to go through the trouble of lying and throwing tantrums to try to get it back.

You were going to use that dragon as a trade item. After claiming the critter was ill when you got him, you were going to send him back to the same environment you claim got him ill.

You've tried to gloss over this several times. You claim this dragon was your beloved pet that afternoon, but that very morning you were going to ship him as a trade.

It doesn't matter what excuse you give, and the excuse you DID give was that the entire deal was getting on your nerves, so you were prepared to sacrifice this little critter to make yourself feel better.

Feh.

I dont understand why you would offer me a baby dragon after I paid you the $150.00 you demanded from me?

As long as you are posting our Ims go back a lil further and post the one with a link to the CDC you sent me.

Will Prince be back with his daddy soon Nicole?:)
