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

    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.

I think I just though of the reason for the probing of the Earthling's anus'. There is a large portion of the Earthlings I have encountered with their heads up their asses and probing is the only way to get to the brain to see how they tick. It's a theory. :shrug01:

If I weren't in my office, I probably would've ended up on the floor in laughter.
 
Chuck-

Please don't hate me...I had a song in my brain and had to exorcise it.

I was reading the news, and saw that one of Hollyweird's screw-balls got busted...in of all places-MARFA, TEJAS.

I hope you don't live near-by.

I've been fascinated by the Marfa Lights since the days of Unsolved Mysteries...Anywho...

Yup-Randy Quaid and his chickie-for not paying a hotel bill in California.

The minute I saw Marfa and Randy Quaid in the article, it made a connection to Independence Day...where Quaid had been abducted...yeah...the synapses were really firin' today.

And then, a very old song started playin' in my brain...and wouldn't let go...

You are my muse, Chuck, and this thread is my inspiration. God help me...

No-it don't rhyme-I ain't Weird Al-and I wasn't about to fry too many brain cells exorcising that damned song...

So without further ado, my parody of "Harbor Lights"...Just for you, Chuck.


Marfa Lights


I saw the Marfa Lights...
They told me you had been abducted.
Those same old Marfa Lights we used to watch at night.
I watched the Marfa Lights...
I knew the aliens were coming...
I knew the anal probes were being lubed for you.


I know the Greys are studying you as I cry,
But your tight ass is so important-I'll never know why.
But when those Marfa Lights
Twinkle over Texas cow herds,
I know the Mother-ship will steal your love from me.


The microchip they inserted in your neck
Keeps setting off metal detectors.
That sexy bar-code tattooed on your ass
Reminds me that you'll always be theirs,
But I pray the Marfa Lights will send you back me.


Hugs-
Donna
 
My Dearest Donna, I am so drunk right now that I thought your signature line read....

"What is man without the breasts. If all the breasts were gone, man would die from a great loneliness of spirit, for whatever happens to the breasts soon happens to the man. All things are connected." -Cheap in Seattle

I'm gonna really have to get back to you on my exact feelings about your song tomorrow. But the fact you even sang to me.....for me.....wow....just wow.
 
Hey Chuck, when you get done with that anal probe, how about posting the video........no rush........whenever they let you go. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
 
Hey, Chuck!!!

I'm still anxiously waiting for your video!!

I WANT TO BELIEVE!!!

Hugs-
Donna
 
What the French, toast? all this time has passed, you got the cable, you sent the cable back....methinks there's something going on here...
C'mon, Chuck, post the video...we've all been waiting for months!
