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....

Critical bill Appreciation Thread. :)

Maggie,

Words cant even express what I would like to be able to say to you. Sometimes sorry just isnt enough. You and your family are in my thoughts as well as my prayers. Im not a religious man by any means but Chuck has brought out the spiritual side of me and I wish him the best.
 
This has got to be one of the toughest threads to read I have ever encountered............ The most minor good news lifts my spirits far more than I would have imagined, yet the bad news absolutely crushes me......

Just got home from the hospital - I got a call at 3:15 am this morning that he flat lined again - they were able to bring him back, but his kidneys and liver are pretty much done - the skin on his toes is now drying up and falling off - can't express the tears that I have right now typing this. They have him on a very high amount of blood pressure meds and they keep putting higher each time I talk to them or go there. Don't know.....been up since 3:15 am and don't even know how I'm typing right now and have to go to work in the morning - girls are close to killing each other, but I'm managing and trying my best with all things to deal with right now.

Thanks for the love and support and I'll update again when I have more info.

I am SO sorry that you must go though this. There comes a time when the next step, the next decision on the journey must be made... I am PRAYING for God to give you the strength to bear whatever life has in store.
 
There simply are no words that can convey the sorrow I feel for everyone enduring so much pain and anguish.
 
I've followed this thread first with shock, then varying mixtures of hope and dismay. It's such a roller-coaster to read; I can't imagine how it must feel for you, Maggie. Just wanted to finally "stop in" to say that I have been, and will be, holding you and your family in the light (as we Quaker say).

I know it's to early to check for an update but I did anyway.

Chuck you're on my mind and in my prayers multiple times throughout the day. Come back to us. You're family loves and needs you. We - the fauna family love and need you. The hobby needs you! Please God bring him back to his families.

I was also told today that his kidneys have failed and he will need to be in dialysis (sp?) for the rest of his life.

Are they able to cross type him? I mean... we all (well, most of us) have 2 kidneys... and livers can regenerate... these are organs that a living donor can give - find out if we can get tested to match, okay?

I would be one of the first to volunteer..but I think she said other organs are failing too? That is more drastic and a simple kidney donor will not do much??

If it will, put my name down for testing for compatability.
