    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....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEBSLAVE!!!

Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday dear Rich!
Happy Birthday to you!
 
Happy birthday, Rich! Hope you and Connie are enjoying to the fullest!

And thanks for all you do :thumbsup:
 
Thanks guys!

Hit the big 66 today, so I'm officially eligible for FULL retirement benefits through SSA. Sheesh, social security, medicare.... You would think I've gotten old or something.... :hehe:

Connie made me a cake. Got a few dozen live blue crabs and steamed them up. Ate a BIG bowl of ice cream. That right there made it a GREAT DAY.
 
Well, I'm still kicking.... But the penalty is that I have to see so many others that have fallen along the way, and I'm sure more are in the future. I found a website for my high school graduating class (1968), and that was a depressing read. So many that I had hung around with back then are now gone.

I'm still not used to not having my mom call me on my birthday.

But what I want to know is, WHERE are all those personal rockets and spaceships and ray guns that I read about in Popular Mechanics magazines when I was a kid that SHOULD be in everyone's garage and hot little hands by now? That's the main reason I wanted to stay alive this long........ :hehe:
 
We have hand-held communicators (cell phones), phasers (lasers and stun guns), actual drones, actual hover boards (but they aren't any good yet), self-tying sneakers, nanobots that are manmade electronics but are somehow alive, and AI. Give it another decade or two and space travel will be cheap enough for the "regular rich people" instead of just the billionaires. Make it to your 90's and I'll bet there will even be someplace in space that's fun to go to!
As for the other, I get it. My HS friends were a group of 7, now down to only 4, and I'm only 52. It's rough sometimes. But still well worth the ride!
 
Very belated but happy birthday WebSlave! 'Tis a shame we don't have all that fancy, high-tech stuff yet!
 
Gave my mind quite a jolt! Thought I had had another birthday this year. :face_palm_02:

Well, I am now officially collecting social security. Got my first "benefit" a few days ago. Getting money from the government just for being old. Who'd a thunk it?

Thanks for the well wishes. Wonder how many birthdays I have left?

I hope you enjoy your "benefit". I think it is one of the few nice benefits the government actually provides. So, please, enjoy it.

I would guess probably fifteen or more. My father is way older then you. So, no worries. :exactly:
