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.....

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....
Flooded in again.

I know this scenario well. I grew up in a rural area along a river, and our driveway essentially went through a swamp. About one year out of three, we’d have to park on a township road, and cross the low stretch (canoe or waders) to get to and from the house. Our driveway was long, and the low spot was a half mile from the house.

We can always go up our back hill to get out if we had to. But never have had too.
Years ago, the rescue would come down in a boat and offer us to leave. Tge very first time they came in their boat, they ran off the road and hit the cable post under water. We died laughing. Told them we much rather go up the back hill than to get in the boat you just wrecked. We made the news. All family or good friends right here, so we party when it floods.
Too bad about how far you have to walk up. It’s a good 1/2 mile up our back hill to the top. And another 1/4 mile to the rd. All clay too.
This isn’t to bad. We’ve had it up to our door during one of the hurricanes that ran up the coast and we got 8”-9” rain. That was once since 1962 ish.
