    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 was reading an article the other day that said that if a turtle is moved out of it's territory (say from one lake to the next) that it will spend the rest of it's days trying to find it's way back to the original territory forgoing food or even mating until it either finds it or dies trying.

I thought this was a bit extreme. I mean, many turtles adapt very well to captivity... why not the next lake? The article also alluded to this being the reason for many of the declines in population (the removing from one territory to another, not captivity).

I'm wondering what ya'll think on this?
