• 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....

Last Update on my package.

WATERTOWN,
CT, US 07/30/2007 4:15 A.M. OUT FOR DELIVERY

It is now 7:20PM.

Where is my package! It takes about 1/2 an hour to get from Watertown to Seymour. So far it has been 15 hours!
 
The sad part is, that unless it is designated for early delivery, it doesn't matter. I have witnessed UPS trucks passing my house 4 times while I was waiting for a package that was "OUT FOR DELIVERY"...and I am not on a main thoroughfare.
 
UPS is bad at that unless it is early delivery. I had a banner sent to me once and I had to go pick it up lol. It missed the truck they said.
 
UPS is totally incompetent. I have never ONCE had a smooth transaction with them, and I tried for several years.
