    **************************************************
    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....

Happy Birthday, Sammy (shrap)!!!!!

Thank you everyone!!

Until 2:30 this afternoon I spent my birthday doing the most AMAZING thing in the world.... catching up on lost sleep!!! Slept from midnight til 5 this morning, drove my daughter to school at 8:15 and came back home and slept til 2:30!! Have not had this much sleep in weeks. Forgot what it felt like to be well rested. Dont think I could have asked for a better B-Day.

Well, except for these last four Pieds to leave the egg today. :)

Happy B'day, Sammy.
(the smileys I could post are no competition for the pic Beth put up there, so I'm not going to bother)
 
Thanks everybody....

Just finished cooking and eating my birthday dinner. Just me and the kid. 1" plus thick ribeyes on the grill, sauteed shrimp in garlic and butter and some steamed asparagus in garlic and butter!!

You know what I did today? Nothing, absolutely nothing. And it was everything I thought it was going to be!! :yesnod:
