DISCLAIMER ON THE WAY

The good thing about this blog is I get to vent.

The bad thing is it's not NEAR as good as venting to someone. Why?

Because HERE I can't name-names. Even if I substituted a name, I mean c'mon. The person would know. And not like they are necessarily reading this every day, but I'm not stupid. And neither are they. If it's interesting enough for me to write about...it's not going to be hard to decipher the person(s).

I've already gotten questioned by friends with late night texts saying, "Were you talking about ME in that post you wrote today?" My answer is always, "If I was writing about you, I would have said your name." What have I got to hide?

And I'm getting more and more...I don't know...'brave' as far as talking about some things. My new mantra is: If you did it, claim it. If you're embarrassed to claim it, you shouldn't have done it! Okay, one of my new mantras. Seems I have many. You know, I like to diversify. Cover everything.

In fact, in my job whenever I design an ad, flyer, marketing brochure...anything...at the bottom, I write a disclaimer. Just to cover anything I may not have covered or something someone trying to find a loophole actually finds. I think it's time this blog had a disclaimer.

I'm working on it, but something along the lines of:

Any defamation of character in this blog is completely accidental. Unless it's true, in which case you heard it here first and you had it coming. Names used are fictional but rhyme with the person's real name. Writings are based on real events. You know who you are and you know what you did so let this be a lesson. The writings contained herein express the opinions of the author and how you may or may not have affected her life. Warning: Mess with her kids and it's Game On. I'm talking name in all caps and boldface type. Otherwise, sit back and enjoy the read.


It may be a work in progress. Or I may just use that. The first thing that came to my head.

So to my new readers...welcome. Make yourself comfortable. Feel free to comment, ask questions, whatever. You never know, YOU could be the subject of my next post. Oh settle down...I've probably already written about you in code anyway. :)

Love, love!



Next post...yeah. I think we're going to have to discuss the Fifty Shades trilogy because OH. MY. WORD.
