Various Disclaimers

I forgot that I wanted to include this disclaimer for my blog, kindly written for me by the Beccanator last week, but oddly posted on steveforpresident's web site instead of mine (what's up with that, Becca? :). Thank goodness for copy and paste.

The following is a work of fiction. None of the characters are meant to be representative of anyone I ever have known or ever will know in the future. Please do not take offense if any of the content involves stories that you think you may have been involved in and/or things you think you may have said. And for God's sake people, please take the blog in the way it's intended... great {and I mean fantastic!} stories meant to amuse and inform...'

(It's not entirely true that my posts are works of fiction, of course. But it IS true that they are primarily meant to amuse and inform, so they are sometimes fictionalized. Slightly. May I take this moment to remind everyone that after all I am a writer and a storyteller, not a historian.)

Oh, and speaking of disclaimers--please don't be offended if you don't get a Christmas card from me. Hardly anyone ever does. This does not mean I don't love or care about you. It simply means that I am lame. I usually forget to send them until, oh, mid-January. And that's a little late, isn't it? (Then again, maybe I should just do it and be early for next year.)

I think my New Year's Resolutions should include trying to be less forgetful...well, maybe not. That's a setup for failure if I've ever heard one!

Whatever. I'm going to go now, but before I do, one last thing: I want to say a HUGE "thank you" to all my faithful "frogg files" readers. I wouldn't have a reason to keep doing this without you!

Merry Christmas, everybody!

    Disclaimer noted. So you mean all those stories are not true? I thought they sounded vaguely familiar, but I guess it is just my imagination. I mean, I'm not related or anything.

    I have to say, that disclaimer is definitely meant to be in the same spirit as the 'Law and Order' disclaimers. Where you KNOW that they're showing you the latest big news story (Scott Peterson, Jon Benet) but they CLAIM that it has nothing to do with anything. So, I stand by the fiction phrase. :) Oh, and Happy Birthday Steve!!! I figure, if I write posts to you on his blog, I might as well write posts to him on yours!! hehe

    Becca =D

    I gave up on Christmas cards long ago. I send New Year's cards instead. Try it--it absolves the guilt. Besides, when people get your card, they actually read it instead of tacking it up on a wall somewhere and forgetting it.

    Where's my non-fiction post for the day?? I look for it each day as I sit at work and I've been rejected twice now. Maybe you are out of town. Maybe you are out of state. Maybe you are out of the country. Maybe you are working at Apple. Maybe you are eating an apple. Maybe you'd never name your child Apple. I had a Fuji the other night with cheddar cheese and I discovered that I enjoy fruit that is room temperature and accompanied with a condiment, be it cheese or even peanut butter.
