    **************************************************
    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Almost done for awhile

Had my physical done last week. Mostly good. Had scan for liver cyst that has not grown and no concern. Blood work came back pretty good and heart working properly. I was put on meds for enlarged prostrate. Seems to be working. Only getting up once a night to pee now, lol.

Tomorrow I take wife in for esophagus surgery. Her 3rd in 5 years. Hopefully 3rd times the charm. Between wife and I we have been going for surgeries and doctors since March. I am good until March 21. Need a psa blood test before I go in.

Hoping 2021 is kinder for all of us!
 
Sounds like you and your wife are really driving over a rough patch of road, Joe. Hope things smooth out for you both real soon.
 
And, of course, all the best to your wife for her surgery. Just be glad she can even get to the hospital at this time - my relatives in the UK have had surgery delayed ever since the Covid thing started backing up the hospitals...
 
Yes Helen we had that here also. I sat at home for 5 weeks waiting for open heart surgery. Luckily she had no wait. She just got home yesterday. 6 holes in her stomach area. They found a hernia also and repaired that. Doing well, just sore and grumpy cause all she can eat is jello and very soft cooked fruit. I told her I'd add some bacon fat to it and she called me a jerk!
 
Hopefully by Thanksgiving y'all will be ready willing and able to eat a real meal.
 
Sorry to hear about all that, Joe. It sounds like everything is on the up and up now, COVID screwed everyone up as far as surgery schedules, you're right. May you and your wife have a speedy recovery!
