I have taken every effort to design my Web site to be useful, informative, helpful, honest and fun. Hopefully I’ve accomplished that – and would ask that you let me know if you’d like to see improvements or changes that would make it even easier for you to find the information you need and want.
All I ask is that you agree to abide by the following Terms and Conditions. Take a few minutes to look them over because by using my site you automatically agree to them. Naturally, if you don’t agree, please do not use the site. I reserve the right to make any modifications that I deem necessary at any time. Please continue to check these terms to see what those changes may be! Your continued use of this site and all subdomains of this site means that you accept those changes.
THANKS AGAIN FOR VISITING!
