    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....

How old are you?

could be worse

my dad started balding in his early 20's i used to tease him all the time think it is going to come back to haunt me lol :bawling:

Turning 30 is a breeze - you're finally at the age where people figure you know enough about life to be able to believe and trust you. :)

40 is no problem either, it's still on 'this side' of over-the-hill. Heck, even 50 was no problem at all. Since turning 40, I'd spent a decade preparing myself for the big Five-Oh. The day came and went without any problems. Nothing to it. Easy as pie. Trouble is when I hit 51!! I never thought to prepare for that, spent so much time on 50 and celebrating how easy it was, patting myself on the back for surviving it, blah blah.... suddenly 51 up and hit me in the face! Completely unprepared, still living in the past celebrating 50.
If you can get over 51, you're freed forever from the "I'm another year older" worries.
Now that I'm fast approaching mid 50's, I think I was more worried about turning 21 than any other age except 51.
 
I just turned 22 in December. Personally, I'm sorta looking forward to 30 myself. Everyone makes such a big deal out of it, but I think it would be nice going to work, talking to people etc. without them all giving me that look that says, "Oh look she's 22 and she has a degree so now she thinks she knows stuff and had a new idea! Isn't that cute?" People seriously stop just short of patting me on the head.
 
33 going to be 34 on the 6th!!!!! :?party: :?party: :?party:
there is absolutely nothing wrong with being in the 30's. i found it to be the best time of my life. if it wasn't for me deciding that 30 was old enough for me to grow up and not settle for less, i wouldn't have the great guy i am with now and the gorgeous daughter i'm proud to have. can't wait to see what 40 looks like. :thumbsup:
