    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....

Sorry

Well, we do have a problem here. Your profile on this site is showing your name as "Michelle prescott", however that letter is signed "Michelle Cutler".

Which one is your REAL name, please? It is a rule of this site that your REAL full name must be in your profile.

I thought that had already been brought up and dealt with in her ty park thread if i remember right?
thought it was along the line that she had both cutler and prescott as names?
will have to trawl through the thread to find it if Michelle does not reply first
 
I noticed the discrepancy in the other thread, here was her reply

Sorry, I only started following these threads very recently. :face_palm_02:
 
Yes my married name is cutler
I am divorced.
And am in the process of changing it back to my maiden name

Can I edit my profile? Do you want me to put it to cutler
 
YIKES! That letter from the IRCF is simply sad. Please do not cash that check from them. I still would let both States know what happened and allow them to figure out how they may want to handle all parties and how they're dealing with fraud.

both States

There are 4 states involved, I am contacting 3 of them, Michelle has contacted several as well.
Massachusetts- Where Michelle resides
California- Where the IRCF registered
Arizona- Where the IRCF has a place of business and where the raffle took place
Florida- Where Ty, the organizer of the raffle, resides
 
I agree cashing that check would leave you potentially liable for any unknowns and it wouldn't suprised me if Ty is behind this as well, knowing there's some type of legal implication if you cash it, and are setting a trap. The fact that it isn't legal inYour state and the fact that you would technically be compensated in full as far as the raffle was concerned, may be enough for a lazy judge to throw the case out. If you do have an attorney and he tells you it's safe to cash without researching for at least a day or two I wouldn't take the advice either I can only imagine how much time you and Lucille have spent researching and to throw it away on a technicality would be painful to watch.

Ty prob thought I'd cash it seeing that he had stated that I "needed the money"
But I'm not a sucker.
Well I take that back I was suckered into a scam/fraud once ;/

The main, perhaps only, problem, if the check is cashed, is that it would be viewed as Michelle's acceptance/agreement of a settlement.

Wow, I've been keeping a pretty neutral opinion of IRCF since I believe it was Ty's actions that got them sucked into this. But that letter they wrote has me NOT liking they way they are acting. They still want to claim it's all out of their hands and they aren't involved? Well, state courts and the IRS may have different opinions on that and what a crummy way to treat someone who has been screwed over by their benefactor.

SHE WON THE RAFFLE! Why does not only Ty, but now IRCF think they can simply award the prize, or not, based on their own personal whims? Like someone said, I would love to see them win at a table in vegas and be told "I don't like you. Here's your money back, but you don't get to keep the prize you won". As far as I'm concerned, IRCF has gone from a sort of bystander to a full participant with that letter and the choices they are making. I think they are going to get some unpleasant legal and tax scrutiny, and I'm not very sympathetic anymore. Doing good overall is not carte blanche to step on other people when it suits you.
