    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.....

    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....

Would You Rather?

I very rarely drink alcohol but use my smart phone more and more, so I'd give up alcohol.
Would you rather be cute or rich?
 
Ohh, I forgot that part.
Would you rather be rich in a poor country, or poor in a rich country?
 
I would rather be poor in a rich country. It seems as if there would be more opportunity for my children, more money available for science, research, art. I am not motivated to be wealthy, I would rather be happy and see future opportunity for my kids.

Would you rather work long hours but have lots of time off between working like oil rig workers, or work the usual 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week with two days off?
 
I've worked some 16 hour shifts and it was not fun, so I'd rather have the usual 8 hours a day, five days a week.

Would you rather be deaf or blind?
 
I would rather be deaf. Kind of hard to work with giant pythons when you are blind.

Assuming the same salary, would you rather be a worker-bee or management?
 
Definitely a worker bee. I was a nursing supervisor for a while, and since I have a strong work ethic found it very difficult to deal with the few people who were always late, frequently careless (we are talking about caring for patients) and just didn't give a hoot.

Would you rather live in a simple cottage or a mansion?
 
Cottage all the way. Would be more relaxing.

Would you rather have to commute multiple hours one way to and from work, but absolutely love your job, or have a 5 minute walk from your job but you don't really enjoy it.
 
Short commute. I've done the long commute to a job I did like and the stress from driving cost me several thousand in dental work from grinding my teeth at night.

Christmas Dinner: Turkey, Ham, or Prime Rib?
 
This year will be ham.

Would you rather be the person who refers to your snakes as "snek" and "noodle", or would you rather be the person to slap the daylights (figuratively speaking) out of people who say "snek" and "noodle"??
 
Definitely rather slap the person who uses those names. the phrase "rope doing a nope" makes me want to strangle people when I hear it or see it.

Would you rather get stranded in the middle of nowhere, or a country you are completely unfamiliar with.
 
A country I am completely unfamiliar with. I feel that educated people in most countries speak a little English, at least enough to direct me to the nearest embassy.

Would you rather keep a large number of your favorite species, or one pair each of a variety of species?
 
I would rather have 2-3 critters of a variety of species. Not even to breed necessarily, just to enjoy.

Would you rather go back to the past and meet your loved ones who passed away, or go to the future to meet your grandchildren to be?
 
I would give anything for an afternoon talking with my father.
Would you rather be up at dawn every day, or sleep in until noon?
 
I would rather be up at dawn every day.

Would you rather become wealthy over time through hard work and prudent investing, or all at once by winning the lottery?
 
By winning the lottery :)

Would you rather be quarantined for some exotic disease or have your tax returns examined by the IRS?

Ugh, I was audited three years in a row. Stick me in quarantine please!

Would you rather be able to read the minds of humans, or read the minds of animals?
 
After several divorces I've come to the conclusion that I just don't know how some men's minds work. Animals are pretty straightforward with their behavior, a lot of times you can tell what they are thinking, plus they never 'hide the ball'. So I'd rather be able to read human's minds.

Would you rather have a boss who valued your time and ideas but did not pay you as much as you could make elsewhere, or a boss who gave you way more money than you deserved because you were hot?
 
I would rather be overpaid due to my hotness, as unlikely as that would ever be.

If you had an unexpected week off of work, would you rather take a vacation, or stay home and de-clutter the house?
