• 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....

He called me and told me he would call me back with the tracking #, this is the e-mail I responded too.

Pat,

I haven't heard from you with a tracking number, and just wanted to make sure that you sent the money. I tried to call and fax you at your store but I get a disconnected recording. Please make contact with me ASAP.

Thank you
Valerie

Valerie,

I will pay $2000 for your animals you listed to me.

UPS - COD
When they come to me with your packages before I can even open tehm they require the $2000 check written out to you.
Within in 10 business days (usually less) you recieve your payment.
The reason it takes so long is when I hand UPS a check, they deposit it into their account, and it takes 3-days for the check to clear their account then they mail you an offical UPS check cashable anywhere...it still takes 10 business days to receieve.

OR,

You mail the shipment not COD and I mail you a Cashiers check immediately upon receipt....I am a verified distributor...I have a store front, two full time employees, many part time employees, have been in this business for over 5 years...sell to the top distributors in the country, etc etc...can supply you with many many refrences.

Please let me know how you'd like to conduct this transaction as I would like to close this deal out by the end of the week.

Thank-You and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thanks again,

Pat Kane
