• 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....

Well, I have to admit, I NEVER would have thought of this myself. Talk about a niche market.

But you do have to wonder about the targeted clientele they are after. :shrug01:

Have axe, will travel.

Houston has several indoor axe throwing ranges but the mobile services are more popular. They book for all sorts of events including birthday parties. :shrug01: Hopefully they do not have throws where (like the old party game of pin the tail on the donkey) the person is blindfolded first.
 
Well, who knew? The axe has just seemed to me to be a tool that I really didn't want to lose control of by having one slip out of my hands. I guess this stems from when I was a kid, one of the local neighborhood kid's dad cut open his leg severely from an axe he was wielding getting out of control. I can still remember them hosing the blood out of the stationwagon when they got back from the hospital.

I suppose that left a BIG impression on me. To this day when I am using an axe, I have a bonafide death grip on the handle.

And heck, if I were going to use one as a weapon, darn if I would think throwing it at someone would be a real great idea. At the very least, the "bad guy" would now have the axe, and I wouldn't. Feet don't fail me now!
