• 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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

So, I Watched the News Today.

That's what I saw.

So, I say, climb on a roof, put on some sunglasses and your favorite Hawaiian shirt. Get a glass of your favorite beverage, put a small umbrella in it, and sit back. Watch the world continue it's downward spiral.

Then get yelled at by your wife/husband, and stumble back inside to clean dishes. Ahh, the good life.

Maybe I should stop watching the news.
 
Make sure to take it with a grain of salt.
Think of the reports of reptiles. It's never "Police found a ball python and three cornsnakes". It's always repesented as "Police stumbled across MULTIPLE exotic reptiles". Think of that when you watch all the other news reports too.
Also know that they don't report good stuff. Doom sells. Nice don't.
There's plenty out there that's going good. Just because the rest of the world media focuses on the bad, don't give it up.
Wash those dishes, then kiss your wife and think what a good thing it is that she's not ill, or gone. That's good right? You got a roof. You got a hawaiian shirt. You're set!
Smile at the world, you might make a positive impact on someone, and the rest will wonder what you're plotting.
