This is a personal weblog. The opinions expressed here represent my own and not those of my husband, his employers, any of my relatives, or their employers.
In addition, my thoughts and opinions change from time to time. I consider this a necessary consequence of having an open mind. This weblog is intended to provide a semi-permanent point in time snapshot and manifestation of the various thoughts running around my brain, and as such any thoughts and opinions expressed within out-of-date posts may not be the same, nor even similar, to those I may hold today.
If you have a real life relationship with me, remember that communication is very important. View weblogs as online journals, no less scared than a diary hidden between the mattresses. Let me know if you read my site, especially if I did not direct you to it personally. You are welcome to stay and read, but like visitors in your home, it's nice to know that they're coming or that they've been there while you were out. This is a very personal website in which I use to document my life and I take it very seriously, therefore the subject matter will be a very close look into my daily life, some parts of it may be those that you may wish not to know. Be forewarned that I do not censor myself or my content based on "who may be reading it."
I know certain family members have "discovered" my blog and think that I do not know they are reading it. I prefer to act like I am oblivious to that so it doesn't interfere with my ability to write here openly and honestly. Just want them to know that I am aware...and really don't give a shit.
If I write about you and you don't appreciate it, approach me DIRECTLY about it. Do not go to someone else and ask them to speak to me, or anonymously leave argumentative comments, contact me directly to discuss the situation, either by phone or by email (TeamTerwilliger At Gmail Dot Com.) You are entitled to your privacy and I understand this. There are many compromises that we can reach, from using vague nicknames to protect your anonymity, or not mentioning you at all. Regardless, I will never mention your last name or place of business, or post any pictures that I do not have permission to use. If you are upset because I have written something negative about you, be reasonable, and understand that this is my outlet, and that it's no worse than the normal gossip that you partake in at the water cooler, church, or family gatherings behind someone's back. If you still don't like what is being written, stop visiting this website. What you don't know wont hurt you.
I am very interactive with my readers who are interactive with me. I answer comments, and respond to every email received. Criticisms and reproaches are fine if you have a problem with something, but try to remain constructive and don't be an asshole. If you are an asshole, you may be exploited and used for blog fodder.
Don't be a psycho stalker. If I am cold or unreceptive to your advances, keep in mind that you are a stranger, and I might want to keep it that way.
The internet weblogs have no real code of conduct as of yet, and therefore I use language and subject matter that may offend some readers. I make no apologies for this.
I encourage links and trackbacks to my writing and photography, but I am awfully attached to my work and though the internet is pretty much an open play field, copyright is protected by law and in effect the minute something is created. Please get permission before you snatch up my stuff and use it for your own purposes.
And last, do not assume that you know everything there is to know about me simply because you read my blog every day and you've skimmed my archives. I am as honest as I can be, and I share what many deem as too much, but chances are that you still don't really know me.
