    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....

The simple Wave has Vanished from Society!

I remember when going into the grocery store you might have heard such greetings as Well hello young feller!(Older Folks) or Good afternoon sir may I help you? Well now its some elderly folks griping about all the lil brats runin around or what do you need we are busy!!!!!!!!!
Life needs to slow down and enjoy the fruits of Friendships,Family,Community,and Country!
Well so take time to Wave at your Neighbor a lil more or be a lil nicer to your Mother in law,or take time to Enjoy your suroundings,Forgive and try to forget the lil things that bother you and maybe just maybe some one will pay it forward to another and another and so on!
We have or are loosing Mainstreets of America lets take them back one Wave ,one Hello how are you!, one After you Miss!, or Maybe just a Exuse me pardon me!:thumbsup:
