• 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....

Be aware! I lost 6 of my babies!

When I got home from work, I smelled fumes in the front of the house. I never realized the Village was spraying for the bug problem we're having and my windows were open slightly. I missed the notices...my mom passed on Mother's Day and I've been dealing with a lot of things...All of my Neodesha cages got fumigated because they face the sides of the windows. I've lost Ayasha and Twister (corns), Bernie (rosy boa), Coco (AHS) and my spotted pythons Barb and Gary, named for my Mom and Stepdad.
A lot of people spray their lawns for weed and pest control. Be very careful around your windows, especially when it's windy.
I am devastated.
 
Thank you. We pulled everyone else out of the room, made use of bins (Walmart must love me by now), quarantine rack, a couple of empty racks I had...I'm tossing everyone's plants and vines, open bedding. Cleaning every inch of everything ...curtains and walls... I'm so glad it's a 3-day weekend.
 
That's awful, I'm so sorry to hear.

They sprayed for mosquitoes around our road last night, and I was running around shutting windows, but was never sure if it was really a threat.

It's a dreadful thing to happen.
 
Years ago I had an unstable relative poison my arachnid collection. Horrible feeling. Sorry to hear this.
