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.

IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!! About the Google Adsense ads being displayed

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.....
=====================
Addendum: 01/10/2026
=====================
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....
What do y'all look like?

Me with one of the locals that was in my care for a few days.
Nice C. ruber Cathy! I've never encountered one quite that big. (Of course, I haven't encountered ANY in like 15-20 yrs.) LOL But, I always found small ones. Thanks for showing that Pic. It was real nice to see one. Brings back good memories.
Must say, this has been a pretty interesting thread so far. A huge variety of people to go with the huge variety of herps out there.
Ciao,

Well...
based on the most "popular" stereotype, I guess I fit the bill.....Tats,beard,bikes......The bike pic is me & my son getting ready for our 11 day, 7 state, 3800 mile road trip. No destination,no reservations just rode for 11 days....it was great! It was a dream of mine for years to do this with him. How many other 16 year olds get to ride a Harley, let alone a trip like that.
The other is his graduation.....he did the Mohawk just for graduation...thank god his hair grows back. Soon to be all gone again though, he just signed up for the Army
Dennis, glad you like the BRB's, if I can figure out how to post a trader rating for you without paying to join,I will.

Bob, Great pictures.
Nope, you have to be at least a ten-dollar member to use the trader rating.
It is part of the verification system put into place. It should be I giving you credit anyway. Thank you

LOL, that's a great pic Lucille!! Now why on earth did you not want to post a pic??? I wouldn't say you look like a "lawyer" persay, but I'd say you loook very much a "professional".
Ok, putting up pics of the younguns....I gotta add one to this! Here's one of my son....he's 12 years old, 5'6" and 168 pounds...he plays center, right tackle, and is the starting kicker for his football team (who happened to just finish an undefeated season, winning their last 2 games 18-0 and 36-0!!!)
(Yeah, I MIGHT be one of those annoying "football moms" too, hehehe....)

Now see, Lucille, that wasn't so hard, was it?...and I'm pretty sure you didn't send even ONE person running from their computer screaming! 
Congratulations on overcoming your shyness!
Marcia, what memorable day that must be for you~ Ivory balls, alligators, and unless I'm mistaken, Mark O'Shea!
Matt, you're exactly as I had pictured you....the kind of young man I wish my single daughter would bring home
Now, if we're going to post kids....well here are mine!
1. Last Christmas, before my grandson is born...my oldest daughter, my son (holding my granddaughter), my youngest daughter and her husband
2. Our brand new grandson who arrived after a very long night last March (you can tell Granny had been up for awhile!)
3. A better picture of what the Easter Bunny brought last year

Thanks Lucille. That's a nice pic too. You look like your at home with all the books in the background.
Would have to say I would not peg you for a herp person if met in public, but would not be surprised to hear it either.
Man Cat, you grow 'em BIG don't you. HA HA
I am the runt of my family at 5'11" and 160 and lean head to toe. The rest of my family hit over 6' and 220 plus.
Nice pics everyone. It's nice to see the faces behind the words.
