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.....

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....

Hello
I know you have had plenty of response from the other Michiganders. So anyway, Hello, I am in Grand Rapids. Not that far but just as much a duck out of water here. Drop me an email sometime we can discuss Western Michigan weather....or at this point how hot and humid it is.....

looks like I'm pretty late to the conversation, but I grew up in Kentwood (SE side of Grand Rapids) and now live in the Ypsi Arbor area.
I spent the 02 03 school year in Austin, TX at UT, and it made me really appreciate Michigan, especially considering how much I HATED living here before I went to Texas. Looking back, Michigan - even the Detroit and Ann Arbor scene - is pretty boring compared to Austin and Houston, but I really like the kindness of the people that live here. The whole "each man to himself" mentality really got me down, I don't think I could live in the south unless there was a strong northern transplant like in Florida or Arizona.
Besides, its not really a friday night unless you go to Meijers now is it, eh, eh?

Kalamazoo area here!
It's great to see how many other Michiganders post here!!
It's also nice to know that SOMEONE else feels better about Michigan after moving to another state. I lived in Indiana for 1 1/2 years and Florida for 3 years. I am staying in Michigan for the rest of my life....winter isn't THAT long.
We need a monthly reptile show in a more central location so all of us can meet chat and buy reptiles. I go to the Valparaiso, IN show every month to buy live feeders and chat up people. Casey Hulse suggested the Taylor, MI show, but I haven't made it over there yet.
I didn't know they don't salt in Lansing! They do over here.
Who but a Michigander would understand the importance of Meijer???????
Thanks for posting Melle! It took me a long time to find this thread, but it put a smile on my face!!

It's good to be home!
I just moved back to SE Michigan this past fall after living in Chicago for the last 5 years. I've lived in many parts of the country, but I always return here. There must be something...
The Taylor show is pretty descent and it beats the old East Lansing show if anybody remembers that one (even though Jerry is a swell guy). It is definitley up and coming in my opinion. Cheers to all the Michiganders!

The Taylor show is pretty good. I attend every month. Feel free to stop on by and introduce yourselves. Just look for the long haired hippie. I'm usually across from Casey. Though I don't live there now I used to live in Michigan (Livonia) for about 20 years. Go WINGS! [There better be Hockey this year!]

Where was Melissa yesterday?
I met Nate and Shelly yesterday, but no Melissa.
Nate, it was nice meeting you. I'm sure I'll see you at the next show.
Shelly, again, it was nice meeting you. If you don't make it to the next shows in Taylor, it's looking like I'll be doing the one out by you in November, so I'm sure I'll see you then.

I see how you are! You reply here but don't post on MY thread!! LOL
I'm sure we will meet again. I'll probably have a table at the Kalamazoo show, if for no reason other than to have an excuse to hang out
MELISSA!!! There is going to be a show in Kalamazoo on November 19!
I'm sorry guys! Melissa had to work the day of the show It sucked! BUT, I'm gonna write off the next one so i will definately look for everyone! Just have your names somewhere so I know, since I have not a clue what you all look like, lol
OOh, a Kalamazoo show? I'll make sure I go to that one too

Hey Melle,
The people I know are easy to spot. I am the tall blond amazon with the tattoos, Casey is the tall sandy blond (short-haired) mustachioed fella with the short blond (cute) wife called Darla, and Dave is the long haired hippie who is usually across from Casey...LOL Dave is the long (dark) haired guy with the long (dark) goatee and the huge dark brown eyes. You'd know him if you saw him. Although a picture would help....hint, hint.....
I'm hoping to be at the next Taylor show if for no reason other than to be annoying. It's a hobby
I'm pretty good at it. That and I might need some Tokays. I might need a couple depending on whether or not my male is a male.
Later!

Ya know, now that I think about it i'm sure i've seen you before. And, I bought my savannah monitor from casey and darla about a year ago.
I *think* I might possibly know who Dave is, but yes a pic would help, hehe. i'm just tryin to picture what you mean by "across" because I know exactly where nature's spirit's table always is, is he behind them across, or next to them across? Bah, Im sure i've seen him. Probably even talked to him, heh.

YES! That is exactly how I remember you!
No wait.....no eyes. I WANT EYES!!!! And legs, and.....well, just submit a real pic.
Can't be any worse than this one! (Don't ask a 10 year old kid to take pics, they have no sense of timing. Of course, if I was AWAKE I'd probably be more photogenic.) I love my big dark snake..

That's not fair, Dave! I need a face pic. Cause I think I recognize you, but then again I dont know.
What a pretty snake, Shelley!
Here is me and that savannah monitor from the Hulse's. I just woke up, he just woke up, hair's still not brushed from after my shower (so its cropped out, haha), not the best photogenic moment either, heh. And, I had to take it myself.
We need a better pic, Dave!
