• 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.....

    =====================


    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....

Hello,

I've been snooping around this site for awhile and thought it was time to say Hi. My hubby and I live in a small beach community in So Cal. We are the parents to 3 dogs, 1 macaw, 1 conure, 1 toucan, 1 spotted turtle and 1 razorback musk. Needless to say, we do a lot of cleaning!! Our two turtles are still young, Rew, our Spotted, joined the family in January. Squirt, our Musk, came along in March. They love to rearrange the live plants and blueberry-sized gravel in their tank! I love to sit on the sofa after a long work day and watch them cruise around their tank. I know I'm biased, but I do think I have the cutest and smartest turtles in the world :D
