    =====================

    I am still waiting on my developer to finish up on the Classifieds Control Panel so I can use it to encourage members into becoming paying members. Google Adsense has become a real burden on the viewing of this site, but honestly it is the ONLY source of income now that keeps it afloat. I tried offering disabling the ads being viewed by paying members, but apparently that is not enough incentive. Quite frankly, Google Adsense has dropped down to where it barely brings in enough daily to match even a single paid member per day. But it still gets the bills paid. But at what cost?

    So even without the classifieds control panel being complete, I believe I am going to have to disable those Google ads completely and likely disable some options here that have been free since going to the new platform. Like classified ad bumping, member name changes, and anything else I can use to encourage this site to be supported by the members instead of the Google Adsense ads.

    But there is risk involved. I will not pay out of pocket for very long during this last ditch experimental effort. If I find that the membership does not want to support this site with memberships, then I cannot support your being able to post your classified ads here for free. No, I am not intending to start charging for your posting ads here. I will just shut the site down and that will be it. I will be done with FaunaClassifieds. I certainly don't need this, and can live the rest of my life just fine without it. If I see that no one else really wants it to survive neither, then so be it. It goes away and you all can just go elsewhere to advertise your animals and merchandise.

    Not sure when this will take place, and I don't intend to give any further warning concerning the disabling of the Google Adsense. Just as there probably won't be any warning if I decide to close down this site. You will just come here and there will be some sort of message that the site is gone, and you have a nice day.

    I have been trying to make a go of this site for a very long time. And quite frankly, I am just tired of trying. I had hoped that enough people would be willing to help me help you all have a free outlet to offer your stuff for sale. But every year I see less and less people coming to this site, much less supporting it financially. That is fine. I tried. I retired the SerpenCo business about 14 years ago, so retiring out of this business completely is not that big if a step for me, nor will it be especially painful to do. When I was in Thailand, I did not check in here for three weeks. I didn't miss it even a little bit. So if you all want it to remain, it will be in your hands. I really don't care either way.

    =====================
    Some people have indicated that finding the method to contribute is rather difficult. And I have to admit, that it is not all that obvious. So to help, here is a thread to help as a quide. How to become a contributing member of FaunaClassifieds.

    And for the record, I will be shutting down the Google Adsense ads on January 1, 2025.

Jordyn is my real name.

Laura Mims is not me, for the umpteenth time.

It does my sense Derek. I will resay it yet again.

This is my "real name" account. I am Jordyn. I told people that Jordyn was "Lena"'s twin. She isn't. She is me.

Laura Mims is not me.

I know Laura Mims in real life.

I used her info. I was on her facebook.

I deleted my facebook profile, Lena, at around 6:30 or so. Not 5.

Again, I am not Laura Mims.

Either you created a FB account as Laura Mims or you didn't. Your "excuse" for deleting it - so she wouldn't get messages from folks makes no sense if YOU created the account and then deleted it.

I don't share my login information on FB with ANY of my friends - much less so that they can delete my account.
 
Tobin, You aren't understanding me.

I, Jordyn, was a friend with Laura Mims on her facebook. I did not have her log in information.

I created a facebook account as Lena.

I deleted her from my friends.

The name is Robin - I KNOW who "I" am - thankfully.

No - I'm not understanding you, because your back-pedaling is making you very hard to understand.
 
I'm not back-pedaling.

You are thinking that when I put I had access to her account that I have the log-in information.

I meant I had access because I was friends with her. I was able to see her information. I deleted her from my friends, because I figured yall would be sending her a message letting her know of this thread/

I deleted the facebook LENA, because I didn't want to be bombarded with messages.

Deleting her from your friends list doesn't prevent people from contacting her - they just have to search her name and send her a message.

If you truly have this psychological issue, I hope that you will seek psychiatric help.
 
I know, but she can't message me.

It is humiliating, and I don't want her to be able to message me.

I am getting help.

This is what Laura wrote me.

"I have a problem where I am not happy with my life and who I am so I try to be other people and their lives. The people that I want to be. Or rather.. the lives that I wish mine were like. A nice family. Knowing their parents. A future. Etc."

Lots of people temporarily slip into other lives- there are online games where on plays a part, and people get quite involved in their alter egos. But everyone knows it is a game. How long were you planning on carrying out this charade? How could you think that friends you made here would be friends in real life if the whole relationship was built on a lie?

There is NOT ONE person you will ever talk to that does not have some painful issue in their life. The dream family is just that, a dream. Relatives and friends are aggravating at times, but you learn to love those you cherish despite their imperfections.

You build your life one day at a time, one relationship at a time. This lie you perpetrated on all of us has set you farther back from the very happiness you seek than when you first started.
 
The only thing that bothers me is that trusted people on this site claimed from the beginning to know, and or be related to "Lena".

So are there other fake accounts, or were trusted people on this site helping?
 
I'm not sure how long. I didn't think they would be my friends IRL. But I had "friends" (not really because it was all a lie) on here.. and that made me happy. I had people actually talk to me, and like me.

I know that this was the wrong way to go about things. I am coming clean now. I am talking to someone here, on my real account Jordyn, and I am confiding in her with everything.

I would like to start over. As the REAL me. But I know that that is going to be imposible on her.

I do have reptiles. But I do not sell them. Well I have a couple.
 
No one claims to be related to me. I did have "friends" on here. But like said above, they weren't real friends because I wasn't honest with them..
 
Im gonna go out on a limb , but I would say you are no older than 15 Jordyn.
 
Do not trust what she is saying here. I have known her for a while, well, thought I did, and this is exactly the way she lies. Her intentions here is nothing more than to block any blame she should recieve, and try to ease back in. The stuff she has done to this community is terrible.

First, after Chuck passed away, and Rick lost his stepdaughter, it was just a couple weeks later that "Lena" lost her father.

Second, Christine Kilroy became pregnant with twins, guess what? Not long later, "Lena" is pregnant with twins.

Third, I hate bringing this up, Christine lost her babies, A WEEK later, lena is having THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS with her twins,

It is terrible they way she has tried to tag along on other members pain just to get attention, to feel special. Anyone who does this kinds of stuff...well....I'm not gonna say what I wish would happen to them.
 
I'm not blocking any blame.

I'm not fighting it, and i'm not being rude about it. I'm listening to what people say. I am responding. And I am explaining myself. I'm not asking for forgiveness. I said I was sorry. That is all I can say

I don't really know what to say.. so I guess I will just tell a little about myself..

I'm lena, of course, I am 20. I am a pharmacy technician but currently going back to school. I am excited to further my education in the medical field. My dad always told me that I was going to be a career student.

I own a horse rehabilitation ranch. We currently have over 50 horses. We seize mistreated and malnourished horses, rehabilitate them and then adopt them out to their forever home! I strive to do this, and give the horses a voice.

I also take in a lot of unwanted animals that aren't horses. I have many reptiles, dogs, two pigs (one is an inside pig), and a parrott. I love all kinds of animals and I feel that people have to be the voice that they don't have.

My dad is the person who sparked my love for animals, and has always encouraged me to help them and do the right thing. He is forever in my memory.

I am also a normal 20 year old. I love to have a good time. I like going traveling (I just got back from Hawaii), swimming, and exploring the world and everything it holds.

I don't think I really have a hobby... Maybe helping the horses have another chance at life. I guess that could be considered a hobby.

I really don't want to post a bathing suit picture, but I will however post a picture.


This is me with Rosco, the dog I gave my dad for christmas.

This would be me just having fun.

And this is Bob, my one and only cat. I am not much of a cat person, thought I love all animals.. I just prefer not to own them.. But this little cat has stolen my heart. His name is actually King bob.

So is ANY of this stuff true?
And this apology bit, refrain. It is simply garnering you more attention, which you seem to be a ho for. You should simply disappear for a while, and should you want to return, do so in a low key manner. Work for your relationships. Just be quiet for now.
