Fine Print

Y’all, I’ve put all the “boiler plate” below, so that I can be in compliance with Google and every other entity on the internet. But, let me break this down in plain “Texan,” which is close enough to English that you can probably understand it:

• I accept paid advertising on this blog. I know it’s crass, but a gal has to eat. I have no control over the BlogHer ads that you see, and not much control over any Google ad-sense ads that you see. Anything else that gets put on this space is only there because I endorse it.
• I welcome comments, but I expect you to play nice. Spam is not tolerated. I prefer that you keep profanity to a minimum. Like my Papaw always said, “Cusswords just show a lack of imagination.”
• I don’t give out your personal information to anybody.

That said, here’s the boiler plate:
