Comment Policy
It all comes down to this: Play nice. You’re welcome to disagree and have thoughtful discussions including the whole spectrum of opinions, but I ask you to be respectful. As this is my blog, I reserve the right to delete your comments if I find them to be abusive, libelous, harassing, hateful, false, misleading, off-topic, spammy, or just plain mean. I share personal things on this blog, and I’m not about to tolerate bullies or trolls. I’m a firm believer in free speech, but keep in mind that, if you’re a U.S. citizen, the First Amendment gives you the right to express all of your opinions on your blog, not mine.

Disclosure Statement
This blog is not financially driven. In fact, any money made on here goes right back into paying for hosting and other fees associated with maintaining a website. It is a place for me to share my journey with anyone who’d like to come along for the ride. However, the FTC now requires bloggers to disclose whenever there could be hidden interests or unspoken biases related to recommendations. So here goes…
- The small amount of money I make on this site comes through affiliate programs and Google AdSense. If you click on an affiliate link or ad banner and buy the product, I get a small percentage of that sale (and it costs you nothing additional).
- Many of the links I share are just ordinary links, but a few are affiliate links. I’ll include a note in any post that contains affiliate links or if any other kind of compensation is involved.
- I only recommend products and services that I truly support and feel are valuable.
- I become an affiliate when I use and believe in the associated product or service.
- I would never recommend something just to make a buck. The recommendation always comes first, and if I can earn a few cents through an affiliate link, that’s just a bonus.
- I never let any compensation received influence the content, topics, posts, or opinions expressed on this blog.
