• 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....

OK, this is one of my few serious posts, so please accept it as a serious gift from me:

Hopefully, many Fauna members and visitors here to the site will visit this little forum and at the very least, participate in some of the funny polls and read and respond to some of the threads.

Some look the site over from curiousity or because it is fun (and I hope it is, I have spent many hours trying to make it that way), but others are genuinely trying to reach out and find someone.
This post is for them:

If you are young and inexperienced, sometimes you are unsure of what the future will bring. There are all kinds of people in the world, and you dream that perhaps you will find a special one, just for you.
If you are older and have had relationships before, perhaps some did not work out the way you had hoped; you may even have experienced a breakup or divorce. You have felt the pain of a failed endeavor, and may be anxious about starting a possible new relationship. You may be lonely at times; but yet wonder about the safety of venturing out into a world which has already dealt you misfortune.

People need people. Life holds no guarantees, but if you treat others the way you would be treated, and work hard to keep a positive outlook despite memories of the past or anxieties of the future, you may very possibly meet up with someone who needs you as much as you need them. Life has never been an easy journey for any generation, but it is easier to face hand in hand.

Be kind, take a moment to reach out and help someone you meet or talk to, or see on this board, every day. If you truly make an effort to reach out and help others, you will be blessed yourself.

Above all, believe in yourself.

Yes it is beautiful because its from a beautiful person.

I am so bored this morning that I have read about 40 pages on the internet regarding detecting explosives compounds in soil concentrations. LOL. Anyone care to join me in this neglected, but important endeavor? You may even learn how to blow up a landfill? LOL.
Some of us need a life I guess.

I've always wanted to go collect sulfur...from what I understand, you can just go pick up "rocks" off the ground. How cool is that! LOL!

...ok...you all are going to think me very weird now. Oh well.
