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....
OK, I'm next....my BIRTHDAY PRESENT....

Damnit. I'm always so good about watching for people's birthdays, Cathy. Don't you have yours in your profile? Well, Happy Herpy Belated Birthday just the same!
And as far as b-day beverages... I reckon I could deliver one next time I'm out in Iowa. Just so long as that you have them put up about 2,548,932 more ROAD SIGNS before I have to drive through there again. sheesh. lol j/k
No, seriously... there are little signs that say "No driving on the shoulder" every 15 feet, but only one sign calling out the next exit, and it's 3 feet before the turn off!
Cali looks great, by the way! She has that "maternal glow" (or whatever it's called)

Okay, no complaining about Iowa's coldness in my forum. lol I live in Wisconsin, remember. Last time I drove to Iowa, it was 59* there and only 40* back here in cheese land. So if Iowa is the "frozen tundra" then Wisconsin is the "deep freeze".
(Just wait, someone fron North Dakota will probably start hounding me on that one! ...or better yet, ALASKA!)

Not North Dakota but from Michigan where the weather changes ever 5 minutes. Three inches of snow this morning, below freezing, windy and cloudy. Now its in the upper 40s almost 50 and sunny and barely a breeze but transformers in the area are popping. I still have electricity though!

Linda, the weather here is just awful too. Plenty of sunshine, nice breeze. The temps are running between 70s - 80s. I tell you it is real hard to deal with.
varnyard said:Well, how about warm and toasty Florida. Cold here is a mild 30 degrees, LOL
I had my share of the cold stuff, I like it here just fine!
My great aunt lived in Clearwater, FL and we would stay with her pretty often when we were kids. The most memorable trip though was when I was 4 or 5 and we went there for Christmas--because it snowed while we were there. Everyone blamed us for bringing it with us! lol
I'm so glad that Spring is finally chasing Winter out, but it's been teasing us lately. We've had days that get into the upper 50's and low 60's, but it's supposed to snow again either today or tomorrow. No fair!

LOL, it's already in the upper 40's here, but it's been raining and storming, and we're under flood wathces and all of that good stuff. April showers are fine, but DANG, enough is enough already!!!! And then comes tornado season........ 
And Bobby.........quit rubbing your beautiful Florida weather in, lol. It'll get to those temps SOMEDAY here.....I think.
