    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....

Just thought i'd post my pic and tell you all a little about myself, I've been intending to do this for some time, but just now got around to it.
I live in Ames, IA and attend Iowa State University. I'm finishing up my Animal Science/Microbiology degree and am going to vet school in the fall. I keep many Uromastyx and some Beardies. I also enjoy hunting, the Chicago Cubs, and the outdoors.

That's me doing my best "Blue Steel" impression from Zoolander. Ladies Beware! :D

What do you think if Iowa State? And where do you plan to go to vet school?
 
I'm planning on staying here, In state costs so much anyway, i don't know how I could afford out of state tuition.
I really enjoy Iowa State, the campus is gorgeous (except Nov-March) , the faculty in my department is world class, there's a huge variety of courses, and there's always a lecture, athletic event, or interest group meeting to keep you busy.
 
That's awesome. I go to KU. When I used to live on campus, one of my neighbors in the dorm was from Ames. She said KU is exactly like Iowa State. I'm not sure what exactly she meant though. Our campus is huuuuge, and it's got big hills too. We don't have a vet program, but we have one of the only herpetology programs in the country.
 
Really? I don't know, i think it's quite a bit different from Lawrence, at least the town, but I guess we are an agricultural school as oppostive to a liberal arts. Lawrence always struck me as more down to earth, you know with the nice main street of small shops and neat restaraunts. I guess I would say our campus is more of a city within a city because it's rather set off and compact within Ames. Perhaps you should visit, I hear your basketball will be good this year.
