The tagline for my blog is:
British/American living in St. Louis, USA.
Live, love, grow, read,
write, knit, spin, karate,
geek, science, news, history.
This is my weblog, online journal, online diary, blog, whatever you want to call it. This is the portion of my life I choose to place online, assuming the people I would least like to read it are checking in every hour to get the latest updates. Employers, bosses, people I should have written to ages ago and didn't, people I lost track of, people who can't stand me, people who were in the blind spot of my car when I pulled out on the highway, everyone. Anyone.
You are free to comment on my blog, but once you do, I will censor, or delete your comment at will. Play nice, and this won't happen. You are responsible for your own comments, and I keep an email copy of the original comment. Honest disagreement and civil discussion are welcome, trolls, insults, and spam are not. Comments go into the moderation queue unless you've been comment-approved before. This is my site, and I decide what is acceptable. If your comment is unacceptable, it gets deleted.
I don't usually refer to people or organisations by name. I have a Hubby that I love and we've been married since 1995, two cats (Quantum and Tangle) that are cute and large for cats, and we live in St Louis, MO. I work for an employer that I like, doing geeky stuff all day.
