    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....

My dragon putters around my garden most days and all too often samples fare I wouldn't normally put on his menu. I don't worry overly about kitchen herbs like rosemary and basil...I do try to keep him away from nightshade family plants like tomatoes and eggplant...but what about petunias and purple star (wandering Jew)? And how about the crown of thorn leaves he seems determined to snarf?

What have your dragons scarfed down and lived to denude another day? And what common garden or house plants are KNOWN to be truly dangerous? For instance, lantana is reported to be toxic to dogs, but it came up wild in my garden and the mutts eat it like salad. Clearly the threat is overstated for canines in that case.

What about dragons? What do we KNOW is seriously dangerous? And what about Winston getting repeatedly stung on the tongue by bees, his favorite junk food? Dang y'all, I live in AZ and these are Africanized honeybees - but he simply will not give them up!

:dgrin: :ack2: :NoNo:
 
Daffodils are toxic. I used to remember the more common houseplants that are toxic but now I have to use Google to check. So your dragons enjoy a tasty bee like mine have at times. :) Mine have never been stung , maybe they are too quick to be stung and yours probably are , too. My guys enjoy white clover [ the green leaves more than the flower] and I've seen them eat creeping charlie as well.
 
Oh, he gets stung! He shakes his head and pokes his tongue out repeatedly, but he never spits out the bee. Maybe bees for them are like jalapenos for us - the burn is part of the charm! ;-)
