    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....

Sorry, I posted this is in the general discussion forum, but then realized this is a much better place for it...

My best guess is that we didn't sift through her spaghum moss well enough, but we've used it for quite some time with no problems before. She has what really looks like a splinter in the very tip of her tail. It is in the last 1/8 inch, and sticks out some. We discovered it yesterday afternoon. We dipped her tail in peroxide (she LOVED that... really...) to try to kill any germs, but were hoping she would just take care of it herself. It is still there today, so I think its time we try to help her. Anyone have any suggestions for how to remove it without having her drop her tail and causing her the least pain possible?

Thanks!
