    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....

-and ladybug I suppose. I hear that was added because my mother always refers to me as her bug.

Anyways I was talking about birthdays and it reminded me that I've been meaning to share these "snake cake" photos with Fauna. :D
Mine was last Sunday, I turned eighteen (getting ooooold right? ;)) and my mother's coworker was so sweet - she took it upon herself to make me an amazing cake! It was all done from her imagination alone, my mother had only described my gophers to her briefly one time, but I think it came out beautifully! I was absolutely thrilled with it! :yesnod:

and here's the girls that it was based on. Carmen is the albino pacific and Misty is the ghost sonoran. Such quirky things, I love them so~ :p

Tragically their frosting counterparts were both gobbled up without mercy. Cake-Carmen's head popped right off! :eek: From the way that they were rattling at me later, I feel that my real pets don't take kindly to this sort of display. They had a bit of a "watch your back" aura that night, I wouldn't be surprised if I find them devouring an effigy of me someday in return... :erm:
 
Happy Birthday!!! And what a FABULOUS cake!!!! It is so intricate and the bug on top is so cute!!!
 
she did a great job on the cake, especially for just hearing a description of them! nice!
and happy belated Birthday as well!

Thank you! :)
I agree, I was real impressed. She didn't see them for the first time until after the party. :yesnod: She wasn't a snake person though, said she could only stand the icing kind. :rofl:
