No, this will not be a blog post full of American flags, fireworks and apple pie. If that is what you are looking for, I apologize. (No, I don't.)
Lately, I've been getting a lot of requests from different on-line sites that want me to become an affiliate. This means that I put up a link on this blog, to their site. If you, my readers, purchase something from that site. I make money.
Many bloggers do this, some even make ends meet this way, but I have decided that it's just not right for me. When I mention something that I think is great, it is because I have personally used it. I'm not going to refer you to something that I have no experience with, even if it might make me money.
I may change my mind, I don't know. But for now, I don't want to be "owned" by anyone but myself.

Thank you. It drives me crazy people that push their ads...
put some sparkly blue faux fur on those handcuffs and I'll buy them...
what? I mean, um, way to stick it to the man, yeah!
Am I still independent if I [sort of] created the stuff I sell at CafePress? Probably not. Sometimes I have no shame.
But you - you rock the sticking-it-to-the-man thing :D

bubble: I'm not condemning those that do, just saying that I don't want to.
lilac: Oh reallllyyy? Good to know.
stephanie: Yes, very much so. I'm fine with someone showing off their own stuff or even recommending stuff, but when it's some random thing that they have nothing to do with, it irritates me.
holly: Yeah, right. Like you let your husband have control over the money in your household...
Nicely said and nicely done!
