My Rules

• Comments

Comments are encouraged but I reserve the right to not post any comment that may be deemed in opposition to the purpose of this site (which is to be inspiring, uplifting, and informative).

WordPress uses Askimet® in an effort to filter spam; however, WordPress also allows the blogger to “mark as spam” any comments deemed spam at the blogger’s discretion.

• Guideines

I will seek to give you a blog free from foul language, evident ridiculing of another person’s politics, race, religion or personal preferences.  No hate themes and no words that might belittle and hurt people.

• Quotes & References

Quotations are cited with author information and are not my property.  HOWEVER, any posts, comments, photos or data other than that which is cited from others are my property and should be considered unavailable for your use without permission.  You may inquire via e-mail:  vthess@att.net
