    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....

Took a walk to take a look at our temporary pond yesterday (Sunday) and found a couple of box turtles breeding at the edge of the pond.

While Connie and I were walking around our trail, we spotted another box turtle just soaking in some rays. High got to 82 degrees, so I guess this one wanted to take advantage of the warm weather.

The poor last fella probably was told 3 is a crowd & was sent on his way, lol. That is pretty awesome you seen a bunch just walking around & a good sign more may be on the way in the future. I remember running into a few up here when I was younger but it doesn't happen much anymore. Awesome photos!
