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.

IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!! About the Google Adsense ads being displayed

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 Thanksgiving.
That is awesome. I tend to do something to our Turkey each year ( usually using lemons to give it knockers) but this is way better.

If you could convince Connie to cook it, I would take a bite..... But good luck with that convincing. 
Hope everyone had a pleasant Thansgiving, and this COVID stuff didn't put a cloud over your holiday.

Not me!!! The only picture I remember seeing of Connie was one you posted years ago of her prone and shooting some gigantic gun that was so large it had to be propped up. Probably the only rational response if she says something would be 'Yes, Mam'

That was probably one of my Barrett 50 caliber rifles. I have my shooting range all cleared up and screened in the gazebo down there I use to shoot from, so I really should take her shooting with me sometime.
You know, I hear people moaning and groaning about becoming retired and getting bored, but I just don't see it. Still not enough hours in a day to do everything I want to do. Of course, it probably would help if I didn't stay up till 4am and not roll out of bed till 10 or so every day with these short days we now have.
I have all sorts of projects to do, so not bored, and becoming quite the accomplished baker/cook as one of my hobbies since I am avoiding going outdoors much near people until a reliable safe vaccine is available.
I do miss cycling very much and look forward to doing that once I get the vaccine. Cycling in the neighborhood involves stopping and yakking with like minded cyclists. There seem to be a number of people taking no precautions around here and I am not taking chances.
