    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....

I know this does not seem to relate to leopard geckos and is quite off topic, but please bare with me on this one.

Sometimes in life things happen that perhaps should not, we have to be strong and move on in life. Drastic changes in life certainly throw a curve ball at you, just know that others are there to support you through your darkest moments, in face of your worst fears. Enjoy the time you have spent with those around you, praise everyday you shared, and they will be with you forever. Why you may not wake up from this dream, you will come to terms with it.

I have always believed that Character is forged through adversity and change and the day we stop changing is the day we start losing character. Support is a valued friend that always seem to show up just in the nick of time!
 
There have been very few moments in my life when my heart has skipped a beat. I just had one of them. Justyn thank you for sharing what I am currently feeling.

Justyn, I know why you posted this. I am at a complete loss for words. For those of you who found this thread to be unusual, just stop for a minute and TRY to feel what was said. Today, Kelli lost her son, Hayden.

Oh man. Kelli, there is nothing I can say that can make you feel better. Few of us know what you are going through now. But I will be praying for you.
 
yes, and for those of us that knew and now know may we all offer our condolences. In whatever religion or belief you have may we all just wish the best for our friend kelli.

Kelli- you are a crutch for us and have made great impacts on many lives. I am glad to have met a person like you. My prayers and thoughts go out to you.
 
My heart is in my feet. I am so very sorry to hear this. Just know we are all here for you Kelli.
 
Kelli,
Although I don't know you very well, I was reading through this thread and when i got to the post from Marcia My heart literally fell down to my stomach. It gave me that feeling thats so unexplainable but everyone knows what it is. The one where you get the worst chills ever and you just want to sit and think but your mind just fills with blankness. I wish i could express to you how it made me feel to read that and I wish you the best.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Kelli.
 
Kelli, as I read this thread I felt my throat tighten and my heart skipped. You and your family will spend a lot of time in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh my god! I've got tears rolling down my face as I'm writing this. Even though I've never met Kelli in person, I've delt with her on numerous occasions. She has always been there for me in answering whatever question I had. I just don't know what to say right now. I'm totally heart broken by this news. My family's thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Kelli.
 
What can anyone say that would help relieve the grief?

What could be offered that would build a bridge over the newly opened, seemingly bottomless void?

When prayers are too late to change the event, can they at least help to ease the heart crushing pain?

Everything we have to offer that we can only hope will help is yours to have, Kelli.
