    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....

PONCE INLET -- More than 1,200 young sea turtles, who had washed back ashore during the recent stormy weather, were released Monday in seaweed patches several miles offshore.

The green sea and loggerhead turtles had hatched this summer, but were forced back to the coastline by recent tropical storms.

The hatchlings were rescued from Duval, St. Johns, Flagler, Volusia and Brevard counties and had been temporarily housed at Volusia's Marine Science Center in Ponce Inlet.

On Monday, county officials, with the help of the U.S. Coast Guard, released the turtles into the seaweed patches found 20 miles offshore.
