Did I miss … Do Not Fold, Spindle, or Mutilate?
Happy Holidays Judy
It’s there, Keith!! Look in the “Dealer participation” paragraph!! Happy holidays to you and yours too!
Now those are terms of service I can accept – nothing left out, nothing extra promised, nothing to worry about. Thanks for all that you do to keep us safe, legal, and merrily finding our ancestors. Merry Christmas.
ROFL….
Merry Christmas ‘Cuz.
And to you too!
It takes a lot to make me literally “laugh out loud”, but you’ve done it! I know how long it took me to read it, so I can only imagine how long it took to write! I’m printing out a copy to bring to my family’s Christmas gathering later today…when things get stressful there I’m going to bust it out! Hopefully that’s not copyright infringement but the old folks barely know how to turn on their computer, still have a dial-up connection and wouldn’t know how to click on a website if their life depended on it! A very joyous holiday wish to you as well!
Share it in good health, Debi! (I think I may have to roll this one out every year…)
Definitely one of the toppers, Judy! And the little clipart of a person… you’re definitely much better-looking… really! Thank you so much for a wonderful year of legalities to learn and places to search. Have yet another wonderful year in 2013. Cheers!
Thanks so much for the kind words, Celia. Have a wonderful Christmas!!
You forgot to say that you should not try this at home and that this should only be tried by true professionals.
I’ll add those next year, Jeff! Thanks (and thanks for the card too!). Merry Christmas!
This blog may contain flashing lights which may potentially trigger seizures in people with photosensitive epilepsy. A very small portion of the population have a condition which may cause them to experience epileptic seizures or have momentary loss of consciousness when viewing certain kinds of flashing lights or patterns that are commonly present in our daily environment. These persons may experience seizures while watching some kinds of television pictures or reading alarming legal explanations. People who have not had any previous seizures may nonetheless have an undetected epileptic condition.
Rolling on the floor!!! These will be added next year! Thanks, and Merry Christmas, Barbara!
LOVE this! After a very long day, my family heard me laughing aloud at my computer at this….and quoting some particularly comical pieces. Since they rarely hear me laughing when I am hot on the trail of our ancestors (moan, curse, yell, shout with joy, cry — yes — but not laughing). Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the kind words, Barbara! Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Usually when I see a disclaimer that is as inclusive (and restrictive) as this, the “Please wait until the ride comes to a complete stop.” clause is left out.
Congratulations, you DID include it.
However, you missed one projectile: tomatoes.
Happy New Year.
Dan
Added to the list for next year, Dan! Happy New Year to you and yours as well.
