If that’s something you want to see happen, then contribute what you can. This is for nothing more or less than paying the minimal cost to keep Coquetting Tarradiddles alive and running for another year. If the answer to any of those questions is yes – and if you want this site to continue – then head over here and toss me a couple of pennies to pay for the hosting renewal. Did you ever find anything helpful, informative, or even just funny?.Have you ever enjoyed reading anything here?.I need to raise $250 by the 15th, or Coquetting Tarradiddles will cease to coquette or tarradiddle.

And I want to keep doing it for free, but I just don’t feel like paying to do it for free anymore. What I’m getting at here is this: I’ve been writing and paying to host this site for a little over 8 years now, and I’ve always done it for free. I’ve tried to entertain you guys with silly posts, goofy jokes, and even a few short stories ( the most successful of which ended with a pathetic SWATTING attempt by just a really super cool dude, so that was fun). I’ve helped people, and they’ve helped me. Some of what I’ve written (such as my posts on Depression) have had a significant impact on the lives of a surprising number of people, which is why I wrote them. I’ve written a lot of stuff about a lot of different things. Back when I was helping fight the good fight to fix the local school district in Beaumont, Texas, I hosted gigabytes of data for the community to access – and none of it came free. I get no revenue from this site whatsoever, so it’s all just expense. I don’t run ads here, because I think they’re annoying.
To renew my server hosting at its current level (which is pretty necessary, unless you want the site crashing every time I get a traffic spike, or whenever some jellyheaded script kiddie tries to hack my Gibson), it’ll cost me $250 clams.
So, that being said, what am I going to do with Coquetting Tarradiddles? Well, that’s entirely up to you. But that’s money that could be better spent on Trey, so that’s where I want to spend it. I could probably even pay to renew my hosting plan, if I really wanted to. We’re back on our feet and things are turning around I can pay our bills and our lawyer (because that particular nightmare isn’t over yet), I can put food on the table and a nice new roof over our heads. Things are fine now, financially and in every other way. I recently started a new job, which required a small move, which required fighting a ridiculous custody battle that I can’t even describe, which depleted any savings we had, etc… What I do have is the yearly renewal on my hosting plan coming up, with nothing budgeted to pay for it.
