    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....

I gotta say it, THEY SUCK!!! I've had insurance for my SMALL construction company for several years. Ten years to be exact. Never once have I had to use it untill this past year. Back in the end of November I was ripped off for about $1500.00 or so on a job-site. Then again in December, I was stolen from again. That time, someone broke into my work truck and stole every power tool and nail gun I owned! Now both times there were several other thefts around our area. This was noted by both officers who responded to my thefts. Here's the pisser....
After turning in first claim, which with my deductible ($250) and the depreciation, They got me down to $610.00! The second claim was for roughly $3000.00, of which I don't know what they're going to pay yet.
Now my point of this post..... I was kindly sent a letter from my insurance company of ten years telling me they will not renew my policy when it is time for it!!! They said since I have had two losses in one calendar year of which they superceeded my premium, they will not renew mt policy!!! What the hell do we pay incurance companies for??? If this isn't intimidation, I don't know what is! We have insurance so when there is a problem they help us right? Wrong, they just dig in the knife a little deeper!!! Bottom line----Insurance companies--Theives without a gun!!!

Sorry, Had to rant!!!
