(Today I received from a brokerage firm an email with news about Treasury yields, employment data, crude oil supplies, a Federal Reserve meeting etc.  The accompanying CYA boilerplate was so classic that I couldn't resist adapting it for the blog, changing only a very few words to disguise the company and to adapt the sense to the blogosphere.)

Today's other blogiversary - and also the sixteenth, belongs to..


... Madame Jujujive's Everlasting Blort, which today offers the discovery of three poison Skittles, and a gif of this totally appropriate video  to celebrate her sixteen years of blogging:

  4. I've always had a disclaimer on the "Welcome" page of my blog. It isn't so verbose, it basically welcomes comments but states that my blog is not an open forum. It seems to have worked, I don't often get bothered by trolls, on those few occasions when I've had some, I've referred the trolls to it and they go away.

  6. I feel pretty well covered using my horoscope and Dear Abby in conjunction with this blog to cover most of my big decisions about life. So far I have not ended up in prison or a psychiatric ward, but I am also no closer to a comfortable retirement. Maybe I read the Tarot cards wrong.
