    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....

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Think back to the time of the first Thanksgiving, the settlers had absolutely nothing compared to us. Dieing off, left and right from disease, fighting winters with no shoes and farming for food. All that being said, THEY GAVE THANKS.

We get upset if our happy meal takes to long, the light doesn't turn green fast enough or if someone else is doing better than us. WE SHOULD ALWAYS TAKE TIME TO GIVE THANKS, not just on one day of the year. Food for thought, just saying.

Be safe in your travels everyone.
 
Happy Thanksgiving to all, I am absolutely giving thanks for my many blessings this year.
 
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

No turkey for us today.

Kind of a good news, and bad news sort of thing.

The good news is that we are spending all day outside in the beautiful weather we are having here.

The bad news is that Connie and I are painting the porch. Spent the last week scraping, sanding, and filling in holes with spackle after I punch nail heads below the level of the wood. That didn't seem to bother us the first time around.

Been painting for the past 3 days, with probably 4 more to do. Can only do so many sections a day so we can put on a second coat. We start around 10 or so when it warms up, and finish up just after dark. I had to bring out one of the shop lights from the garage and set it up on the porch to give us enough light to finish up for the day.

Honestly, I will be THANKFUL when this is done. I think I would rather have a root canal than do painting.
