• 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....

Teenagers, a rant

The only guarentee is that there are not guarentees.

My son is 15 and 9 times out of 10 when I talk to him on the phone, and frequently though not frequently enough in person, I tell him I love him.

Every once in a while the little bugger gives me one back. But he knows and I know.

There are those I would kill or die for, as all good parents should. Knowing that THEY know that and that it will carry on to when THEY have children is a good thing. It's a slim straw, that knowledge, but sometimes you have to know that you've done what you can to the best of your ability and let it go at that, which is slightly off topic but pertinant nonetheless.
 
Well I just finished typing a big reply to this thread, and apparently if it takes more than 30 minutes you get kicked off. Maybe it's the log-in thing, maybe it's just to prevent long-winded bozos like me from babbling too much! :raspberry

Either way, you're all welcome! lol
