    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Yo ed, I too have asked SEVERAL times if you ever told the crazy ape that you had sent him payment.

Buc buc buckawwwww, comeon chicken little, answer the question.

Ed won't answer the question, Wes, because in order to do so, he has to either be honest, or lie. Since being honest is not an option, and lying is like bringing a water pistol to a gunfight, he hides his sorry little butt.

Of course that could have also been a clever ruse to get a less clever person who had made threats of violence to leave the property and give him time to get the police on the case. A very good tactic actually.

Yes, that was a clever tactic. Not as clever as you think it was.
 
"Nick"

is Ed's imaginary friend I think. It's kinda hard to know when he's telling the truth. I think Ed still has the snake judging from how bad he told me he wanted one.

You seem to be a very insecure person. This is undisputable because you seem to have nothing better to do in life than to sit behind that little keyboard and call people names. This has been your MO since you joined this site. You brag about being banned x amount of times, but I would think you would learn after once. But, I guess making donations to this site for your incoherently out of control actions makes perfect sense. It seems a lack of intelligence keeps you from learning a lesson. Grow up man, we are talking about the issues, and all you have to add to the conversation is name calling.

What's next? Do we compare shoe size?

You do realize that you're not the brightest bulb in the pack and that I'm mocking you, don't you? I just want to be sure that you're sure because I'm not sure you're smart enough to understand that I'm making fun of you.
 
Likewise

I am making fun of your stupidity to learn from your past typing. I was going to say actions, but I doubt you would ever man up to someone who you continuously chastize.

Hey crazy ape, was that a threat?

You've been here for almost 6 months. I've been here almost 6 years. Do you suppose it is within the realm of possibility that what passes for brains in a crazy ape would not be able to comprehend the past and its context to the future, which as of now would be the present soon to be past?

You keep alluding to my typing. Do my busy digits make you jealous? Or do they just make the ape crazier?

Can you define "man up" for me? You see, being a man myself, and NOT a crazy ape, I am usure just what you are upping in the men you man up on. I'm really flattered if what you're suggesting IS indeed what you're suggesting but, as I have told those with crushes many times before, I prefer women who were born as women not you poor souls who misconstrue my kindliness and goodnature for more than it is.

Do you go to specail places when you "man up?" Are there guys there in cowboy hats and boots? Assless chaps perhaps? Because that's the image I get whenever I see one of you cretins (www.dictionary.com) use that phrase. I mean, it's cool and all, for you and those who are "into" that, LOL, I just swing a different way, as it were.

Maybe you should try a different approach, other than that of a whacko primate thumping his chest. You see, I really don't care how hard you can thump your overgrown manboobs, stomp your ruby slippers, or flap your witless lips; really I don't.

You, on the other paw, seem to have a great deal to say about what I care about and how you think what I do looks to other people. Have you considered how YOU look to those other people you have such consideration for in regards to myself?

Buffoon comes to mind readily when I consider a one word description of you, as does Bugs Bunny's favorite, Maroon, as well as assclown, dipthong, buttdart, dumbass, and a myriad of others. Nothing in any way positive comes to mind though. Don't you think that's odd? When you manage to think at all I mean, I know you tend to just say whatever it is that first comes to mind, giving you credit for having a connection to your mind at all.

Nevermind, it makes no difference anyway. I just don't care, though I do wonder if you would if you were smart enough to know what a fool you kept making yourself appear.

You MUST be new or don't KNOW Wes very well. Wes doesn't have a prob showing up , wanted or not. Even going out of his way to recover animals personally for a couple to a few folks.

You do realize that you're not the brightest bulb in the pack and that I'm mocking you, don't you? I just want to be sure that you're sure because I'm not sure you're smart enough to understand that I'm making fun of you.

Seriously dude , he is telling you what he's doing and you fall for it every time. By your own actions you make the first line of that quote true.
 
ed, you cowardly turd, at least the crazy ape is here trying to give as good as he gets.

Come on eddie, tell us the truth, did you or did you not tell the crazy ape you were making a payment to him?

Here chicky chicky chicky, here chicky ......
 
Peace here. I think Jody and Wes are reading the same novel, just on different pages.

That said, pay up, Ed. Life is a large arena.
 
While most of the evidence available is circumstantial it seems to indicate that Ed Braaten has demonstrated a history of behaving more or less as a parasite living off of his family, the taxpayers and maybe those that he can take advantage of. He also, like Wes ,could produce the reaction that he desired from Jody by thinking as a chess player considering 3 moves ahead while Jody continues to react like a checker player. To be predictable is to be controllable.

Truthfully, I think that you're giving Ed a little too much credit. He is not exactly what I would call "smart." ;)
 
there is nothing left here to accomplish. Ed is a thief and Jody has a hard time not being goaded into these antics. maybe Ed saw an easy mark in how easy it is to frustrate Jody. Either way one (Jody) can't think before leaping and the other (Ed) is a waste of human flesh. sorry to see anyone get ripped off. as to the where the mojave really is, only Ed knows for sure and it would not be in his best interest to clarify any of this. no matter what he says it would contradict some previous statement he already made. Just for the sake of conversation why did you want to make another deal with someone who has threatened the lives of yourself and family ? you realized what you were doing was wrong from the start but proceeded anyway. why, only you know. maybe you had a financial issue that you felt conning someone was the only way out. regardless of why you did this is not of concern anymore. what you do to make it right is what counts. remember your phrase to live right ? what set of morals are you demonstrating to your children with this type of behavior. they learn what they live. also you put their safety at risk when you do things to bring crazy people upon you. that is not caring for your family in anyway. you put them in the path of your doing.
 
I am afraid that I would concur.
All that is left now is to see if Mr. Barnes actually has the intestinal fortitude to take this to Small Claims Court where no bullying will be allowed, he will not be in control of the situation and the person who states his case best will win.
I doubt we will ever know the outcome but it is my hope that should Mr. Barnes take this to court the winner will come here and notify us all on who was found to be in the right.
That may or may not be the real Bad Guy since a slick talker can often beat out a person in the right but it would be interesting to learn the final outcome.
 
Well seeing as these two are about as slick as a used piece of Gum on a hot day, if it ever gets to small claims it might be interesting to watch.

Ed, where ya hiding at ??? come on out I mean worm on out and speak up for yourself here. Lets see some photos of that snake.

I wonder if he has ever posted photos of it anywhere, newbies tend to post lots of pictures of their animals...Randy

I tried to warn you Jody. :shrug01:

But you can keep on going if you want. From the sidelines it is most entertaining, in a peculiar sort of way.

Rick, if you can't get some entertainment out of life, what is the point?
Ed still needs to make this right. Saying any more would get me booted off Fauna.
 
Wow...just...wow

When did whipping someones @ss for doing you wrong become such a bad thing? I know, at least from reading this train wreck (another one for the BOI recordbooks) that there were threats made, blahblahblah but still. Small claims court for a coupla hundred bucks? Making a point and all, I know I know. Guess the mom in law isn't placing too high of hopes of recouping her 6 grand. What kind of turd do you have to be to screw up that fast? Really, it can be like watching a reptile-themed version of the "Beverly Hillbillies" here sometimes. Jody. Get some anger help, dude and quit dealing with dumb@sses for animals; research man, little research.
