    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....

Seriously, don't make this recipe

It's around time for a recipe so that we can keep this forum up. In a roundabout way, the subject of spiders came up elsewhere, and I found this recipe.
I can't believe anyone would actually eat this.

There are plenty of deep fried recipes that are unusual yet delicious, like when the big rodeo comes to town here once a year they make and sell deep fried oreos, fried ice cream, and stuff like that. But this? No. Just no.

For some reason, the picture of the fried T makes me sorry for the poor spider. :(
But I read an article about eating crickets and did not feel sorry for them. Odd that there should be a difference. Not that I would eat either unless in the dire straits of starvation.

So what is the most unusual thing you've eaten?
 
I have eaten crickets, dubia roaches, hissing roaches, superworm, mealworms, ground squirrel, fish head, rattle snake,and frogs. My favorite when younger was these little black ants in are yard, a tarantula is next on the list.
