    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....

Yvonne's statement and your quote of her statement differ by a couple words, just those few end up making a GREAT difference to what the quotes mean to me.... :D

All I did was add the comma...and correct a minor error in word sequence.
 
oh hell no!

Yvonne, I guess I this is where I get tossed out of the competition...submission??? not happening. the flogger fits too well in my hand to turn it over...Now onto the subject of YOUR poses. I have a wonderful set of lined leather restraints for you to model :dgrin:
 
OK this thread is getting sorta derailed, let's leave it for pix and how about Yvonne you start another thread on this endeavor you mentioned :) Maybe in the 18+ Lonely Hearts Forum.

I want folks to be free to post their family pix here and the conversation is getting too far afield....
 
:unhappy: I'm scared of the lonely hearts forum...

I want to look at PICTURES when I get back from work :wavey:
 
not for me either - where are all the bearded dragon people? and how come nobody posted a pic with a big rock python

"Wow, those Lemur pix were amazing. Do you work for a zoo or something?"

I worked at a zoo durring my "time" in Florida. I was the Dietician, and I was also incharge of the Binturongs and the Coatis, as well as the enrichment for the primates (which ialso ncluded the human guests on occasion). Here are a few more pics.

pch, I totally missed this post of yours...sorry; I didn't mean to ignore you! Wow, was it scary being in with those big, powerful animals? I couldn't beleive it; one post here showed a smallish woman in with this TIGER... I actually am more circumspect of the animals that can pull rank if they wanted and send you to the morgue...
Is it true that those primates are many times stronger than we are?

Well, I'll post one with one of my nice Kammerflage chameleons. This is the Charlie, my oldest. He is half Ambilobe, half Nosey Be locale. His sire is Diovalana. I have two younger ones sired by Isildur (Ambanja), but they both are always sleeping by the time I get home from work, and I hate to wake them.

Don't have many pics of me. Always wanted pics of others, not Myself. Others have plenty of pics of me though. LOL

Ciao,
Rick
 
She is AMAZING, what a gorgeous animal. Wow. She looks like she is ready for smaller rabbits, maybe?

AURORA is a rescue? My god, some ppl have more money than sense. The owner she was rescued from had to spend a lot of money before losing interest...

She's had a few of those. :) Soon, I hope, it will be ONLY rabbits.
Thanks for the response. I got better pics in My Gallery
But a lot are rescues with new homes, not just Aurora. :)

:rofl: No. I saved for 2 yrs for her. Bought her from Pete Kahl in 99
She's the only reptile I ever actually paid for though.
 
Hey Richard,
I thought you were gonna pose in a thong (I know - "how do I know you weren't wearing on")
Nice "baby" pic, btw

Ah, okay. It was this post that I totally misread, whoops!
It WAS hard to beleive a rarity like Aurora was unwanted.
I see you named that gorgeous male in your gallery after Kahl. The one pic of the hawk looking for prey from the "watch for animals" sign is GREAT
 
"Is it true that those primates are many times stronger than we are?"

Yes, some of them were very strong. The Simang Gibbon pictured here was considered to be quite dangerous. His name is Jeff and he did not like trespassers on his island. He was very protective of his wife (Taylor).

I once saw this smallish, female orangutan outpull a Sumo wrestler in tug of war with no problem. This is impressive to me, because I know that people who weigh more have more 'oomph' behind their movements; that sumo wrestler was no pansy. I am positive that Sumo wrestler outweighed her by at least 50 lbs.
