While I can’t imagine that the government actually cares or reads what is written in this blog, in the interest of staying square with the powers that be as well as clearing up any potential legal (copyright infringement, implied expertise, etc.) issues, the following disclosure is apparently required:
This is blog written and edited by me, several members of my family and select friends. Please remember that unless otherwise noted, the stories written here are personal accounts of our lives and relationships. If you use our words in part or entirety, please give us credit.
Same principle applies to photographs. In most cases, the photographs contained in this blog are family heirlooms. While they may just be another photograph to you, they’re priceless to us. If you use one of our photographs, please give us credit.
*The exception to this is the photographs taken by Elizabeth. Since she is a photographer, many of her images appear in published works. Therefore, her photography is subject to copyright laws where applicable. You will be able to tell which are hers because they will likely contain a watermark or trademark symbol. You will need her express permission to copy, reproduce or otherwise use her work. You may contact her at the following email address: blue skies sunshine butterflies at yahoo dot com.
Each contributor to this blog is unique and will therefore have various opinions and expertise. I write for the same reason I bake: to keep from stabbing people. I am influenced by my family, pets, life experiences, religion, political affiliation, background, occupation, the weather, and by my coffee addiction. The opinions expressed in my writings are purely my own and are not meant to imply any expertise whatsoever. Any claims of expertise are hubris on my part.
Example: Somewhere in this blog there is (or will be) a home remedy section. If you use the garlic oil recommendation on your earache and it causes you to smell delicious, I cannot be held responsible if your husband bites your ear in his sleep thinking he's at Olive Garden and you’re a warm bread stick. I am not a medical doctor, nurse, or any other member of the healthcare community and do not represent myself as such.
I, nor any contributor, is currently compensated in any way for this blog. There are no advertisements, paid insertions or sponsorship from outside sources.
This blog abides by word-of-mouth marketing standards. If we decide to take compensation, in the form of cold hard cash or trade, that content, advertising space or post will be clearly identified as paid or sponsored content. This blog does not contain any content which might present a conflict of interest.
Any plugs, good words, honorable mentions, or promotions given by any of us in any of our writings are entirely personal opinion and are not intended to be advertisement for those organizations, companies or industries. Trademark infringement is not intended in any case and neither we nor the company have been compensated for their use.
For example: When I say Krispy Kreme donuts are the best donuts on the face of the planet and are responsible for at least 10 of the inches on my hips and thighs, I, nor Krispy Kreme, have been compensated for the use of their product name. However, my opinion that they have the best donuts on the face of the planet still stands and I am fairly certain is actually written in a Book of Factual Opinions somewhere. If they’d like to start paying me to eat their Hot!Donuts!Now! I can be had. When it comes to donuts, I’m a cheap date.
This blog contains material about people who are living and dead. Their stories are true to the best of our knowledge. No slander or malice is implied or intended in any way, shape, or form. In most cases, the subject people contained herein are our family members or direct descendants. As such, we have inherent permission to use them as source material for our writings.
Unless otherwise noted, any recipes listed have probably been handed down through multiple generations of our families and their origins are likely unknown by us. However, if you can supply legal proof that you are the originator, author, or creator of any recipe contained herein, I will either remove the recipe from this blog entirely or will give you credit; whichever you prefer. Copyright infringement is not intended in any case. If you copy any of our recipes, please give appropriate credit.
To contact me, you may email me at flour sack dresses at gmail dot com.
