    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....

LOL, I'm not really sure where my Josh's size comes from....but it comes in handy when hauling feed and throwing hay bales into the loft! And he's a straight A student to boot....I'm a lucky Mom. ;) He does eat as much as the rest of our family combined I think though, LOL!

12?!?! Oh my, you're going to have the girls beating down your door in a short couple of years!

They just had their first school dance of the year, and I guess he was "turning girls down" according to his best friend, and he still danced with a few.....so I'm gettin kinda "skeered" on that front, lol!!!

Thanks for all of the nice things y'all said about him, I'm mighty proud of him! :)

And again....great pics Terese, and all of you....wow, this thread has been so much fun!!

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 :uzi:

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,
You are a very handsome dude. If you ever bike in to Texas feel free to stop by and give me a ride. On your Harley.
This site is WELL worth joining, BTW. :)
 
Matt - you look like a little kid opening a gift on Chrismas morning!! New sound system? Uh huh - I know that look well. :-D
 
Im sorry, but the groom looks like Andy Dick, i had to say it! Is that a dead gator on the table?
Marcia, what memorable day that must be for you~ Ivory balls, alligators, and unless I'm mistaken, Mark O'Shea!
The Groom is Steve Sykes from Geckos, Etc., the bride is Debra Klepeis (now Sykes), the best man IS Mark O'Shea from Animal Planet, and the ring bearer was Bubba the Alligator (alive). It really was a memorable occasion, as I performed their wedding ceremony at the NARBC Show in Anaheim last month! As far as a close-up of the ball, you'd have to check with the hundreds of people who took photos or go to Gecko's Etc. website to see the rest of the wedding photos.
That rule is only for the BOI.
Whew! the website link is: Geckos, Etc.
 
Thanks for the pic Lu. See, that was not so bad now was it?
 
I feel soooo much better about hanging out here-you all seem very down to earth. I like to think I look like a reptile person. This is me in the parking lot befor the Stones concert in Pittsburgh. I'm the taller one drinking the coke (I wanted to remember THIS one!)

Thanks guys
Stefanie

In fact, it was. It took about an hour for me to get it together so I could accomplish the technical part, since I am technologically impaired, lol. And, I am shy and it did take a while to decide to really get it done.

BTW young man, when are you coming over to pick up all those vegetables you threw at me, at the beginning of the thread... :rofl:
 
we have: no tattoo's, dont have long hair, we aren't hells angels, dont own britches, no leather jackets... but we love our reptiles!!!

if you saw in a crowd you probably couldn't tell we were reptile people. unless you saw us with some of our snakes! :)

lol thanks! Don't neey anymore fussing at today, I feel bad and already got in trouble for not cooking a real dinner, but hey sandwiches never killed anyone lol
 
I guess after all of this time I am finally deciding to get into some threads. I am including a couple of pics of me and the mst important ladies in my life. Both of these were taken on my daughters first day of kindegarten. Do not ask me how I got such a good looking family, sometimes people just get lucky. And the best part is that I am married to the Vet so there is no real limitations to what I can bring home. Except for space of course. :)
