• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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....

Somewhere in China there are people laughing every day thinking about parents who buy there kids toys that require batteries. I have a feeling every parent with young kids either knows or needs to know what a #0 and a #1 screwdriver are. Your average, everyday screwdrivers are too big to use and God forbid you misplace either... and have a meltdown / tantrum going on in the background while you are either looking for it, or banging your head against the wall, or hiding in a closet.

Oh yeah... and the occasional odd battery. I opened the battery compartment for my daughters Aurora wand yesterday and it was 3 little watch looking batteries. Seriously? They could have fit a AAA in there, instead they go for an A13 / G13 / 303 / 329, and yes... there was a 9er in there... and walkie talkies tend to have 9 volts... which are never in abundance in any home.

Wow... thanks for the venting section... I do feel a bit calmer now!
