    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....

Wouldn't it be great if this was a black eyed lucy instead of just a mineral incrusted gator?

Officials: White alligator is not rare albino
By Associated Press
Saturday, December 27, 2008 - Added 22h ago

VERO BEACH, Fla. — Animal control officials say a white alligator seen resting at a subdivision along Florida’s Atlantic coast is not a rare albino alligator.

Rather, the 300-pound, 10-foot-long adult alligator, gets its color from a coating of white minerals from untreated water pouring out of an artesian well that empties into the lake it swims in.

Officials say the coating is on the animal’s thick skin and isn’t a threat to its health.

An official says the alligator lacks a distinguishing trait of a true albino alligator: pink eyes.

If i ever have a pond with crocadilians, i'm hiring these guys to do my water. If I ever have a swimming pool, these guys are never going to be invited.
