The only time any request for payment is made is if you choose to opt-in for a higher membership level, and that is done SOLELY through PayPal.

My guess is that this is coming through Google Adsense, but when I can get someone to send me a screen shot of this sort of request, I will know more.

Family and snake issues

Steve,
My husband is really cool around Bu. he still isn't fond of snakes though. I'm really proud of him for trying. He understands that background, people's views and even their part in the Eco system, he is a very smart man and open minded. He just doesnt like them. He is trying though. He has touched Bu and set up a wonderful tank for him. He still get uncomfortable if I have him out "too long" for a man that is skeeved by snakes, he is doing well and is very supportive.
As for my mom, I do believe she is set in her ways. I don't know what caused her to view so many things in such a way but I do want to make bridge at least. Things took a turn for the worse in my family this week and I'm letting that settle first but eventually I will be trying a sit down with my mom. This is such horrible timing. I just want to understand what is going on her world.
 
Sorry to hear about the bad turn Jamie.

Its good that your husband is trying to get used to having Bu around. Snakes are so misunderstood.

I hope things get better with your mom, and you can figure out why she doesn't like them. Fingers crossed that everything works out. :)
 
Jamie, you have all our support here at Fauna. Your Mom may never understand or agree with your love of snakes. What is important is that you love her (it certainly shows), and I am sure she loves you as well.
 
It's good that you have a community to go to that understands and shares your love of snakes. :)
