• 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....

A friend of mine came over today (Tuesday) and we decided to take a walk in the woods. He asked me where my property line was, so I took him to an area that I knew roughly where it would be. There was a bit of old metal parts and such there and I had commented earlier that this seemed like a perfect day for a diamondback to be out sunning itself. Sure enough, this little one was laying next to an old piece of junk. Only had a little button or two on it's tail so a pretty young one. Didn't seemed disturbed by out presence there and only flicked it's tongue a few times curious about us.
