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.

    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....

$25 for the picture.

Im looking for someone who can supply me with a picture of an adult ploughshare tortoise. It will be going in the Helix series children's picture book. At the end of the Helix books, i write education the readers on the characters, which are based off real tortoises. You will get credit in the book. This is what you must provide with picture.

-proof that you took the picture. i will do a reverse image search. I will not pay you until i am 100% certain that the picture is truly yours.
-need to sign a photo release form (basic form saying that you're giving me permission to use it in a book). This is required by the publisher.
