    **************************************************
    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....

St. Augustine is probably one of those life forms along with cockroaches that are sturdy enough to survive a nuclear war.
I am taking out an 'L' shaped strip of Augustine about 4' x 100' (in order to put in roses and wildflowers and zinnias) and I've been working on it for weeks.
The strip got sprayed twice with Roundup two weeks apart. I thought when the top was nice and brown and dead looking, I had it made.
Wrong.
I am having to go through the top of the dead lawn one foot at a time and pull up the still green underground runners. It is like the Borg, the entire yard seems to be connected. So that's 400 square feet I'm going through, foot by foot. The runners have roots every few inches so I can't rent a dethatcher, because that might leave a bunch of rooted bits in the soil.
