    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....

Snake Repellent?? Huh?

I guess because the sulfur in it makes it smell bad and that repells them?

Claims 91% effective rate "As snakes move around, they use their tongues to pick up chemical signals in their environment. The signals pass through a sensory organ called the Jacobsen’s Organ, which interprets them and sends them to the brain to help a snake navigate. Upon encounter, Snake-A-Way temporarily disrupts the function of the Jacobsen’s Organ, which disorients the snake and causes it to slither away in search of fresh air. "
