Welcome to my blog! I am the average American wife, mother and educator of life to my children. I have an interest in machine quilting and arts & crafts, in general. I have a reputation for being very direct and honest in all aspects of life. I cannot control how people choose to interpret general statements of opinion on my blog.
If you don’t care for my views, share yours with me or kindly leave. No one forces you to visit this site. I do recommend to other bloggers that they do NOT put my link on their blogroll since the backlash in being remotely associated with me may not be to your liking. (I do believe that if everyone loves you, you’re doing something wrong! 
)
All comments have been closed as the public portion of this blog is currently inactive.
I usually leave comments open on most subjects for thirty days but all comments are moderated to further prevent spam. After thirty days, the blog entry automatically closes. If for some reason you feel they should be reopened? Email me or comment in that regard to an open topic. (Comments on this page have been closed due to the expiration on “comments”. I’m still investigating how to have a comment expiration on only certain pages. Yes, I am a bit techno-challenged. 
)
Comments flaming my opinions are absolutely allowed as I believe in dissent. However, you must clearly identify yourself and be prepared for my rebuttal if I feel I have one. I don’t believe in this “behind the scenes, pansy-ass” anonymous crap and your crap had better be truthful because I do so like to vet such drivel. (Yep, that’s a grin and, yep, I do love emoticons!)
Most importantly, remember that this is MY blog (please read copyright statement) and it’s my party!
