    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 purchased two Japanese Fire Belly Newts several months ago. I keep them in a freshwater tank with a built in filter behind a false rock/log wall. The newts would sometimes get in back and we would find them and get them out. About 2 months ago one of them disappeared. I tried to find him in the filter area and didn't see him. Today, I found him back in the tank just outside of the return screen. He is very emaciated for obvious reasons. I tried to get him to eat, but he didn't give the bloodworms a second look (or a first for that matter). Any and all suggestions on what to do next would be greatly appreciated!
