• 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....

*******Happy Valentine's Day 2005!********

For those of y'all with a husband, wife or sweetheart: Realize that you have one of the very finest things life has to offer. Realize, too, that a good relationship takes work, and committment, and love. A really enduring relationship is one where the participants show their love each day of the year, not only on Valentine's Day. That being said, almost everyone likes being fussed over, so go do something special today for your special someone: Roses, chocolates, or if you are on a tight budget a hand drawn but sincere card expressing your love and affection, and telling your special someone how truly special they are.

For those of y'all who would like a special someone but are not so blessed at the moment: Take the time to reach out today and express some loving feelings to those who might need them. There are many sad and lonely people on earth; make some of them happier today.

From little kids to old folks to grocery store sackers to cops, give everyone a smile and a greeting today and every day. There is a someone out there for you; but the way to a truly happy existence is to find a way enjoy your own life, and help as many other people as you can as you are travelling along the path of Life.

If there is a special someone you have your eye on, take the time and courage today to be the first one who breaks the ice. This is not always easy; I speak from experience: I am single and shy and sometimes it takes me a while to tell someone they are special to me.

Today would be a good day to take that first step. Give a rose, or a card, or a heartfelt email, or something to let someone else know that you are thinking of them.
Happy Valentine's Day!!!! :)

My wish for you this year, is that you find happiness for yourselves, and bring happiness to others.....
