    =====================

    I am still waiting on my developer to finish up on the Classifieds Control Panel so I can use it to encourage members into becoming paying members. Google Adsense has become a real burden on the viewing of this site, but honestly it is the ONLY source of income now that keeps it afloat. I tried offering disabling the ads being viewed by paying members, but apparently that is not enough incentive. Quite frankly, Google Adsense has dropped down to where it barely brings in enough daily to match even a single paid member per day. But it still gets the bills paid. But at what cost?

    So even without the classifieds control panel being complete, I believe I am going to have to disable those Google ads completely and likely disable some options here that have been free since going to the new platform. Like classified ad bumping, member name changes, and anything else I can use to encourage this site to be supported by the members instead of the Google Adsense ads.

    But there is risk involved. I will not pay out of pocket for very long during this last ditch experimental effort. If I find that the membership does not want to support this site with memberships, then I cannot support your being able to post your classified ads here for free. No, I am not intending to start charging for your posting ads here. I will just shut the site down and that will be it. I will be done with FaunaClassifieds. I certainly don't need this, and can live the rest of my life just fine without it. If I see that no one else really wants it to survive neither, then so be it. It goes away and you all can just go elsewhere to advertise your animals and merchandise.

    Not sure when this will take place, and I don't intend to give any further warning concerning the disabling of the Google Adsense. Just as there probably won't be any warning if I decide to close down this site. You will just come here and there will be some sort of message that the site is gone, and you have a nice day.

    I have been trying to make a go of this site for a very long time. And quite frankly, I am just tired of trying. I had hoped that enough people would be willing to help me help you all have a free outlet to offer your stuff for sale. But every year I see less and less people coming to this site, much less supporting it financially. That is fine. I tried. I retired the SerpenCo business about 14 years ago, so retiring out of this business completely is not that big if a step for me, nor will it be especially painful to do. When I was in Thailand, I did not check in here for three weeks. I didn't miss it even a little bit. So if you all want it to remain, it will be in your hands. I really don't care either way.

    =====================
    Some people have indicated that finding the method to contribute is rather difficult. And I have to admit, that it is not all that obvious. So to help, here is a thread to help as a quide. How to become a contributing member of FaunaClassifieds.

    And for the record, I will be shutting down the Google Adsense ads on January 1, 2025.

Ok well i have thought of a couple phrases that i have experienced and used myself, tell me if thier are anymore that you guys have used these are just the "originals"
Eric Weintraub
 
WHERE is our friend Brian? He has got to be the one in our group that has used these lines the most, he has a new gf every 3 weeks or so...lol
 
I've usually used the "we are just growing in different directions..." approach...but the "need more space" lends itself to that too...never an easy way to do it...
One lady camped out in her car in front of my house for three days while I was in Mexico, to see who I got out of the car with when I got home...she didn't take the "growing" line too well....
 
Hmmmm, Katrina, you are young and have many potential breakups. You and I need to become good friends lol......
 
Haha this is kinda sad but i've only broke up with someone once and i have experienced all the lines above :rofl:
 
When one continually closes one's thumb in ones car door one has but two choices:

Cut off the thumb or get a new car.

One could of course try to learn the trick of FOLDING the thumb inside the hand along the palm, but that is quite intricate and not within the ability of all.

Good luck with your thumbs in the future, may you learn when to fold em.
 
lol it took me about 5 times of wat you wrote wes to get wat ur saying...i need to learn how to fold my thumbs lol

Young? Oh, I love you to death for that one, Lucille! Especially considering I turn 32 tomorrow...not as young as I use to be. And I hope I *don't* have that many potential breakups...sheesh, this last one was damn expensive! (divorce)
 
"i dont feel the same way about you as a did 2 days ago.."..

that was used on me last year by a girl i thought i'd be with for at least a year..lasted 5 months..


but i've used at least 4 from that list :D lol
 
robin - ok please leave
guy - if i leave i aint coming back
robin - ok, leave then
guy - if i roll on out this door I am not coming back
robin - roll on and on your way out don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya
he left
 
I prefer the honest approach...... "I am not looking for a temporary relationship, I want to find someone I love passionately and will spend the rest of my life with. Someone I will grow old with. I just don't see our relationship going in that direction. But we can always hop in the sack until I do find that someone."
 
"I said no relationship means no relationship!! What did the implants take up your brain functions also??"

That is the last one........
 
Another one for a "winner"

"You have no redeeming values at all so why in the world would I want a relationship with you besides the occasional sexual favors you offer to come over to my home".........
