    **************************************************
    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....

Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year

There is, apparently, an ancient curse that says 'May you live in interesting times'. There is no doubt that for many reasons, these are interesting times indeed, for many.

But no matter when or where you live, traditional holiday happiness transcends those interesting times and focusses instead on family, togetherness, friends, good food, peace and happiness. It is those traditional blessings that I wish for all of you, now and throughout the year.

Wishing a Merry Christmas to you too Luciille and to everybody else,
What Christmas means to me is a time to be thankful for what I have been been blessed with.
Our family, our health and all that we have been blessed with.
It also means compation and love to those that need help.
Our clan shares our blessings but it is never mentioned.
Christmas is a bit different to us than most other holidays.
Most of our other celebrations like harvest parties,thanksgiving and such we bring in a bunch of people but for Christmas we “circle the wagons “ tight and just have the family hanging out.
I love Christmas.
Merry Christmas to all.

Hope you all have good holiday. I'm not much into it. 18 and snow today but sun just came out. Shoveled and cleaned cars off and froze. 4 days off with not much to do so kinda looking forward to going back to work.
