Dixie’s football pride


Poppy: Mommy, I’m sorry your computer can’t compute as fast as your old computer.
Me: Thanks honey.
P: Maybe we can make it go faster!
Me: Yeah? How would we do that.
P: My store — where someone lives, called The Panic — has faster cartridges. We will use a faster cartridge from my store.
I would be worried about someone named The Panic living in my daughter’s store, but I happen to know that The Panic is the name of the store. I’m not sure who lives there, but I know they used to sell jewelry. I asked her why they were selling “fast computer cartridges” now, and she said, “They’re all out of jewelry.”
So! The FTC has decided to crack down on bloggers and their pesky little money-making schemes. I’d kind of been ignoring this altogether, because I don’t really make all that much money off this site. But I do make a little bit — and I’ve always tried to tell you when that was happening, such as the rare compensated review — so I probably ought to pay attention. Fortunately, I have Mir at WantNot and Mom-101 in my Google Reader, and they posted handy reminders that today is Disclosure Day!
What does that mean for us? It means I wrote up a Disclosure Page and that I’ll have to remember to add a line of hover text to any affiliate links I use. Everything else will stay pretty much the same, because I’ve always been up-front with you about freebies and giveaways I’ve received.
