• 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....

I am at another computer as mine is out. Sunday morning we got a snow storm in and it dumped over two feet in the first couple hours and hasn't let up until today.
A tree fell and took out my powerlines, phone lines, cable TV, and internet.
I've been without heat or lights or communications Sunday morning.
Its kinda tough sleeping in a house that is about 18F.
The entire city shut down until today. There is hope that in the next few days, I'll have power, the rest is unknown as there are widespread outages throughout the entire western portion of Washington state.

I am using those rubber water bottles to keep the critters warm, but am running out of hot water, so I am boiling snow on a BBQ grill.

BTW, cold water sure can wake you when used for bathing. Also makes things go into hiding, too.

Anyway, I did get some nice pictures and as soon as power, internet and telephones are on, I will post some.

Hope to be back soon.
