I know I have been gone awhile...

[Nymph]

but damn. Going through my old sponsor lists, and I can't believe how many are belly up now. I might have to end up combining some of my cats for lack of sponsors to use.

[Greenguy]

What niches you need more for? I might be able to help :)

[Pagan]

I agree Nymph. I have quite a few that I am changing out as well. Seems the tubes and torrents have also hurt the sponsors. It's really okay because it makes the survivors stronger. I never worry about looking for sponsors -- I just look at Link-o-rama!!

[Nymph]

I was already planning on sniffing around Link-o-rama... it can only be good luck to sign up under the green one ;)

Webmaster Referral $$$ |thumb

Over the weekend, when I got pissed off with database hunting, I started to redesign the pages of ClitPass. Some categories I no longer have active sponsors for. So the first place I looked was here, thinking you might as well get the ten percent (but what ten percent of bugger all is worth, I don't know). However I find that you have taken down your list of sponsors. Why is that? I doubt if everyone is as shit at selling porn as me, some might actually be worth being the "referring webmaster" for.

[Greenguy]

I have hard enough time managing LOR & Chubby Links these days. I wish I had more time & resources, but sadly...

Webmaster Referral $$$ |thumb

You got it oh mighty green one!

[Pagan]

I find that if Greenguy is still promoting it actively on his site, it is worth checking out. No need for a list to depress all of us.

[Greenguy]

...No need for a list to depress all of us.

Too bad my list of links depresses me |lol|

Seriously, I do try to keep up with what's active/updating and the affiliate program is actually up & running...and paying! But I do miss a lot by not having the resources I once had at my disposal |mml|

That being said, if you see a site on my world famous Greenguy's New Links (http://www.link-o-rama.com/greenguy/newsites.htm) page, it's safe to assume they're on the up & up |thumb

...but I wonder often how many places give you a Webmaster Referral credit via a link to one of the paysites, so if you're not in a hurry, post or PM me real quick & I'll send over the proper coded link |shake|

[Nymph]

I'm still getting rid of dead sites/links. Holy shit I can't believe how many are dead.

I'm thinking about changing scripts too if I can find an easy way to transfer a flat file database.

I will let you know which ones I am interested in before I sign up.

Welcome back. I've been gone a few months myself.

[Nymph]

Welcome back. I've been gone a few months myself.

Welcome back to you too!

I'm wondering how many of us are coming back to roost LOL

[Greenguy]

Welcome back. I've been gone a few months myself.

About time you got back!!! |bananna|

[CD Smith]

Limped back is more like it. ha

It was supposed to be only a 3-5 day thing, one back surgery -- spinal fusion + tissue removal around the sciatic nerve -- but it ended up being two agonizing surgeries and nearly two months in the hospital, with several weeks in between surgeries spent bed-ridden and in nerve pain agony down my left leg.

Just glad it's all over now. :D

[Nymph]

Damn, I feel for ya CD. I have sciatica issues too, I am sure not as bad as yours though. That shit hurts!

[CD Smith]

I hope yours never get as bad as this was nymph. Wouldn't wish it on anybody. For nearly six years I had it, at it's worst it would go right down to my left foot, and if I kept walking or standing my leg and foot would go numb yet with incredible pain. Something had to be done. The first surgery went okay but then a screw they put on my spine later came loose, thankfully BEFORE I was sent home. I was still in the hospital when I suddenly could no longer walk again. Over two agonizing weeks later a second surgery was done to fix it, but it left me gimpy.

Now I'm just hoping my ankle starts working again. Nerve damage can take up to 2 years to regen, so I may be walking with this cane for some time to come.

[Pagan]

OUCH!!! What a nightmare!! At least mine is at the easy stage. No matter how bad I hurt, the doctors just say to lose weight. Nice part about being retired is I can make my own schedules now.

Hopefully you will get better very soon, and not have to wait 2 years to get rid of the cane!

Thanks.

My cane is kind of badass though. |loony|

Docs don't really get it, but they're right. I found a way to lose that weight by adjusting the way I eat since I too haven't been able to exercise at all lately.

and not even remotely the coolest. sigh.

[CD Smith]

Okay not as badass as that. :D

Mine has a metalic dark green snakeskin finish to it, with an extra big grip for my massive hands, and a 4-wheel-drive type grip at the bottom for extra stability.

It's quite the shin-whacker.

If I ever need a cane (which may not be long now) I want one with a silver wolf's head, like in the Lon Chaney Jr. movie (or for the younger audience: like in the Benicio del Toro/Anthony Hopkins remake).

Which one? This one? http://www.fashionablecanes.com/117.html

This cane is an exact replica from the popular 1970's soap opera "Dark Shadows".


$589, I like it too.

ga sorry, the hardcarved one.. which seems cheap:

dammit now i want one

[CD Smith]

$150 for hand-carved art like that does sound cheap. I wonder why it's so cheap?

Wait... "Please Note: This Cane is designed for users that weigh up to 200lbs. and up to 6'2"in Height."

"The finest oak in the Ukraine" must not be all that sturdy. Lets me out, I'm a good 30 lbs and 2 inches over that limit.

I won't complain. Like I said the one I have now is a really badass dark green metallic snakeskin finish, fully adjustable aluminum, even guys three or four hundred lbs and a few inches taller than I can use it. And it was only $30.

Not cheap for hand carved art if you know where to shop. I collect hand carved netsuke, and I rarely pay over $20 for a good new one (ironically often a lot more for second hand ones - but they are antiques) and over 50% of the new ones I have, I got for under $10. The trick is to buy from China, the Chinese work for a lot less per hour than we do, and will often carve wood/bone/etc in the evenings for extra pin money, then sell for peanuts!

Weirdly the most expensive netsuke style item I ever tried to buy was at auction, and went way over what I could afford to pay. That one was not hand carved, it was mass produced plastic and given away in a box of Crackerjack!

[CD Smith]

I'm just thinking that if I were to sit down and start carving a piece of hardwood into a new wild-looking cane, and then after umpteen hours of working on it and sanding it and staining it and varnishing it I decide to sell it, I think I'd be wanting more than a hundred and fifty bucks.

There's mass-produced churned-out so-called 'art', and then there's unique hand-carved art.

Well me too, but with my talent I doubt if anything I carved would be worth even a hundred and fifty cents!
