    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....

One day an old German Shepherd starts chasing rabbits and before long, Discovers that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices a panther heading Rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch. The old German Shepherd thinks, "Oh oh! I'm in trouble now!"* * Noticing some bones on the ground , he immediately settles down to chew on The bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the panther is About to leap, the old German Shepherd exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious panther! I wonder, if there are any more around here?"


Hearing this, the young panther halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of Terror comes over him, and he slinks away into the trees. "Whew!," says the panther, "That was close! That old German Shepherd nearly had me!" Meanwhile, a squirrel who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby Tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for Protection from the panther. So, off he goes. The squirrel soon catches up with the panther, spills the beans, and Strikes a deal for himself with the panther.


The young panther is furious at being tricked, and says, "Here, squirrel, Hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine!" Now, the old German Shepherd sees the panther coming with the squirrel on His back, figures out what happened, and thinks, "What am I going to do Now?"


But instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, Pretending he hasn't seen them yet. Just when they get close enough to Hear, the old German Shepherd says... "Where's that dang Squirrel? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me Another panther!" Moral of this story... Don't mess with the old dogs... Age and skill will always overcome youth and treachery! Cunning and brilliance only come with age and experience.
