• 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....

Early spring in north Florida?

Well, the plants sure seem to think so. Here it is only mid January, and butterflies are flying around and flowers are starting to bloom.

VERY nice pics, but dammit man, what a tease... We'll probably have another couple blizzards before we see spring.
 
In a way I kind of wish that "global warming" were being caused by human intervention. I would be running my vehicles every day, whether I had somewhere to go or not, just to help warm things up a bit more. I never could see anything positive about cold weather. If I NEVER went through another Winter, that would be perfectly OK by me.
