    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....

in your mind
1.. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

2. People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually.

3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". Damn right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?

4. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they? Gonna Kick their asses!

5. When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor.

6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?".... Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?

7. When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.

8. When people say "life is short". What the hell?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?

9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?". If the bus came would I be standing here, dumbass?
 
Yes, our fellow man has a tendency to state/restate/overstate the obvious.

Who was it who said they thought humans ran their mouths to keep their brains functioning then discovered the opposite was true....humans run their mouths to AVOID thought?

The original expression, and the one that actually makes sense, is that you cannot eat your cake and have it too. If this makes no sense to you quit running your mouth for a bit to see if the old brain kicks back in.

I lost my car keys the other day and I looked through my entire apartment for them. I found them on the floor behind my nightstand. Just for the heck of it I looked under the couch cushion on my way out and they were not there.

But did you leave them behind the nightstand, go look under the cushion, then go back and pick them up from where they actually were (thinking perhaps they would move on their own after you found them)?

Just curious. If they can't relocate of their own accord I won't bother with the experiment.

No, I'm not on drugs....should I be?

Yes, I can visualize you doing just that.

Can I ask you a question? (Thanks for the mental pic, nice view.....)

This is a good one because it offers a variety of answers.

Here are a few of mine.

"No." Which is then followed by making the dumbass invisible.
"Yes." Which is followed by me looking at them and waiting for the question to be asked.
"It lies within the realm of possibility but my answering does not." Which either insults or stupifies them. Sometimes both but rarely at the same time.

There are many others of course but these are fairly standard.
 
:( No mental pic of Wes walking away....

I usually just look the questioner in the eye and say "no".
