To Visitors to This Blog

I have had to turn on "verification" due to the unwanted advertisements for other web sites in my comments section. It has been a daily job to delete them and I do not want to worry that someone has added sites that are NOT "family friendly."

So, please read and enjoy this Blog and leave your comments. I hope the "verification" process does not turn off your enjoyment of the Blog. It is sad when people turn good sites into advertisements for THEIR sites. I have also turned off advertising our site with other Blogs. If this takes care of the unwanted comments, I will turn "verification" off again.

Thanks for understanding. I want this Blog to contain "great information," not just requests for your orders. It is my "gift" back to you for your support.

Leaving Links to YOUR site

I welcome comments to this Blog and want others to freely comment. However, due to abuse by some outside companies, leaving links to their site on a daily basis in the comments fields, I will remove ALL such duplicate links and any links that are NOT family friendly and report the person as "spamming." It is interesting that there is no "contact link" to send a message to these people.

This Blog was set up to give helpful information to anyone visiting the site. It is not for "spamming" and advertising for other sites.

If anyone reading my Blog comes across such comments, please email me so that they can be immediately deleted and reported. It is sad when people take this approach to their advertising.
