With Connie passing away, I need to simplify my life for this unknown future I have ahead of me. I am changing all PayPal payments to go to my main SerpenCo account instead of have two separate accounts.

Responding to email notices you receive.
**************************************************
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....
Life simplification in progress

In case anyone is wondering what the heck I am talking about here, I just need to simplify and uncomplicate things in my life right now. Connie used to take care of all the finances for the household, and now that she is no longer here to do that, I just need to make it easier for me to pick up the slack. So payments that used to go to my FaunaClassifieds paypal account will now all go to my main SerpenCo account instead. I had a separate bank account for FaunaClassifieds at a bank up in Tallahassee that yesterday I closed down and transferred what funds were in there to my SerpenCo account at a more local bank.
So that removed one account that I had to keep track of and manage. Not to mention it will make doing taxes a little bit easier on me too.
I also had to rearrange the IRA and HSA accounts we both had, and believe me, it was no fun at all having to drag out that Certificate of Death for Connie to show proof of her passing away. Up to that point, I had never even looked over that document as it was too painful to even think about.
Anyway, just felt and explanation was in order as I was likely a little cryptic with the original post.
