    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 LOVE this idea:

Zoo will name a rat after your ex, feed it to a snake on Valentine's Day


The San Antonio Zoo in Texas said it will name a rat after your ex and feed it to a snake on Feb. 14. The zoo is charging $25 for this service, but there's a cheaper alternative that's just as spiteful.

For only $5, you can name a cockroach after your ex, and the zoo will feed it to a bird or another animal.

Even if you (or your exes) don't live in Texas, you can still participate in this "feeding frenzy" because the zoo will be live-streaming the event on Facebook.

You must submit the first name of your ex on the zoo's website by Feb. 13.

To submit a name or learn more about the event, click here. You may also visit the zoo's official Facebook page here.

Brilliant! They will be raking in the money -- this is a much needed service, I think.

I imagine that a fair number of people will be donating in honor of someone who is not (yet) their ex...
 
I still remember from many years ago sending a boss I didn't much care for a dozen dead roses in a black box with black tissue paper (there was an actual company that did this) it was funny.
I did spring for a roach because it is such a great idea. If I find any of my exes paid for a rat for me I'll up my donation.
 
Hmm, I don't have any ex-wives. I picked the right one as my first choice. :)
 
This is clever. I have no ill feelings about women in my past relationships, but with the frequency of less than amicable dissolution of partnerships, this provides a meal to the animal that would need it (even if it would get the meal anyway), some funding to the institution (even if they were not lacking), and some cathartic effect for the payer. It is a good idea.
 
as much as I may dislike some exes, I find this in a bit of poor taste.
I see the humor, just not my cup of tea. Maybe it's because I like rats.
lol

Can we just have the rat/roach sent directly to the ex?
Click to expand...

Great idea, I actually considered sending several thousand roaches to my second ex. But I'm sure there will be some conviviality in the reading of the list , paving the way for the same next year for the zoo's benefit. Plus there is the publicity factor, although they only announce first names, 'Lucille' is currently an unusual name and I'd get a kick out of it if that particular ex of mine watched the proceedings.
