    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....

I recently replayed to a add I found on kingsnake.com, to find a larger female and small male so I can start breeding alligators. I contacted Dave aka " Dave Lawson " several time before making my order, after many chats on the phone. I make payment for a total of $645.00 which $90 of this was from a customer of mine which I told him that is this deal went bad I would refund his money myself.

Add: http://market.kingsnake.com/detail.php?cat=24&de=453923

1. Payment One: $90.00 MO: 10226106055 USPS
-Note Dave confirmed promptly with a phone call and sent me the following tracking number: eq 414373564 us.

2. Payment Two: $545 MO: 10412773514
-Note Dave confirmed promptly with a phone call and told me that Dalta told him that it would have to be above 20 before anythine goes out. I did later call my contact at delta to confirm this and his statement was 100% true.


I currently am awaiting the waether to clear up, and up to this point can't wait till dave's gets his next shippment to make another order.
 
I agree - totally inane thread.

What exactly are you wasting forum space to share?

Has the deal gone well and you want to report a "good guy" vendor? Nope.
Has the deal gone bad and you want to report a "bad guy" vendor? Nope.

You are in the process of completing a deal. The items have not been shipped yet (can't be done w/current temps). You are anxiously awaiting receipt of this order and excited about your next order???

I know, I know - I sound cranky....but seriously, how old are you?

I am reminded of the movie Dumb and Dumberer.

So, we now have a known criminal being touted as a great guy by someone who is questioinable at best.

Yippee.
 
Off Topic....

Wes,
I am having a really hard time reading your posts with that puppy dog avatar. Are we now witness to the "Softer Side of Wes" ?
 
Sorry - please continue

I am bored. Please tell me more about your life.

You want to eat dinner. You found a can of chili at the store. You agreed to a price of $.89 (receipt #004312).

On the way home you decided to purchase a slurpee for $1.19 using your best friend's pocket change - with the understanding that he could have a sip if the purchase goes through (receipt #67135).

You are at home now, heating the chili in a microwave. As of yet, it is not sufficiently hot. The clerk at the store told you that it would need to be removed from the can and microwaved for at least 90 seconds (this is true - you have confirmed it by reading the directions on the side of the can). You plan to eat the chili if it is hot enough when the microwaving is complete. (Please inform us if the chili requires additional time - we are dying to know).

You can hardly wait until the mini-mart gets more chili so you can make another purchase.

(sigh)

Is it silly that i had the same line of thought!? Granted.. that puppy is REALLLLY cute... :rofl: :rofl:
 
We will soon see! are there issues about this ?? So then I sure the message will be removed, Or all the above comment where a wast of time. The fact is the order is not done and so far everyting has gone good. Kyle it is possible for you to respond this?
 
I can certainly see a new warning being added to the list for "off topic posting".......... :reddevil:

That will be at the discretion of the mods....... :D

That might put the "moderators' into overtime, as I can't think of a single thread on the BOI that has not gone "Off Topic" at some point.

Point me if you must...
 
Back on topic.

I though Dave went to jail-was this not true or did they let him bail out?

Anyhow good luck getting any animals you have paid for.

thanks
