Legal Schmegal Stuff

(Please read before lawyering up!)

Warning:

This site provides a sanctuary for Oxford Commas. This, Old, Lady, believes, in, commas, as, enthusiastically, as, Captain, Kirk, does.

With apologies, exclamation marks (!!!) are often used in this blog much more frequently and enthusiastically than is absolutely necessary!

Old Lady Otts (c’est moi!) occasionally tends to add two spaces instead of one between sentences.  Old Lady Otts has an Old School brain - it prefers to do things the way we old folks did “back in our day.”

Cookies:

We use ‘em! Not the glorious chocolate chip kind - the blog Tiny Perfect Things uses a hosting service that engages cookies (small files) for security purposes, PR purposes, and such.

If you, cherished reader, don’t approve of cookies, you might be able to encourage your browser to disable them. Otherwise, you may wish to back far, far away from the blog Tiny Perfect Things, and run for the hills!

Privacy:

As a grouchy old recluse, nobody values privacy more than Old Lady Otts does. Unless I become a lot more productive and coordinated with this blog than I am now, I don’t plan to start up e-mail subscriptions, or ask for your personal data - unless you’re Henry Cavill. Then, I might ask for your personal data.

Affiliate Links and Promotions:

Some blog posts may include affiliate marketing links. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. If you make a purchase through an Amazon Affiliate link, I may (at no extra cost to you) receive a small commission. (So far, I've made enough to buy myself a taco.)

I love to talk about places I've visited, restaurants I've eaten at, and adventures I've had along the way. Sadly, at this time, I don't receive compensation for providing reviews about good eats, fun places, and whatnot.

If and when I do receive compensation (through affiliating marketing), I will include a disclaimer in the blog post.

Ye Olde Comment Section (Aaaahhhh!):

Old Lady Otts very much enjoys her own personal rants, but (once she’s had her coffee) she tries very hard not to unleash her grumpiness on innocent bystanders. Old Lady Otts dreams of a Comment Section that includes civility, humor, deep thoughts about life, and afternoon tea.

Old Lady Otts warns that Agitators, Negative Pot-Stirrers, Spammers, and Blue Meanies shall be banished forthwith to the Cornfield (insert The Twilight Zone music here). Mean comments will be removed with great haste and much teeth-gnashing. Warning to all PooPoo Heads: Stay off Old Lady Otts’ lawn (insert vigorous fist-shaking here).

Copyrights and Whatever:

The written content of this blog, and the photographs provided, belong to me (unless otherwise stated). Please don’t make off with an old lady’s property. That would be oh-so-very-wrong and might kindle my Only-Child-Refuses-to-Share wrath.

Use of said content without express and written permission from Old Lady Otts is strictly, big-time, don’t-you-dare prohibited. Short excerpts and links to this blog are permitted, provided that full credit is given to this blog’s alluring yet modest author (yours truly).

I confess right now - no one else bears responsibility for whatever strange content might spring forth from this brain of mine. The only other person who might bear some responsibility for the processes and outpourings of my brain would be the person who dropped me on my head when I was a toddler (true story).

My blog posts contain my own thoughts, opinions, and personal experiences. I do not speak as a great authority or expert on any topic (except maybe naps). I’m just a nosy busybody who loves to jibber-jabber about everything under the sun.

My ideas, philosophies, and recommendations are for entertainment purposes only. I do my best to be truthful and authentic, but sometimes (not all the time, mind you, but sometimes) I make mistakes. If you, dear cherished reader, catch me reporting an inaccuracy on any topic, please contact me forthwith (survivingwithflair@gmail.com) and give me a good finger-wagging.

As someone who loves to travel, and eat, and eat, and travel, I tend to enthusiastically share my personal experiences about attractions, restaurants, recipes, etc. I can’t guarantee everyone will be as pleased with these offerings as I am.

For example, I may enjoy what I consider to be an excellent meal at a restaurant. I may gush without restraint about the food and the attentiveness of my server.

Some poor soul might read my blog and try out said restaurant, store, attraction, etc. That someone may show up on a day when the main chef is out sick, or the place is short-staffed, or the servers are unusually grouchy. I hope that’s never the case, but I can’t be held responsible for those bad days, or Mondays, or such - though my heart goes out to those who end up being disappointed.

To continue that thought, I try to stay updated with my recommendations. But there may be instances when I recommend a place, only to have it unexpectedly go out of business without my knowledge. If that happens, please contact me at survivingwithflair@gmail.com, and I will update my information.

I recommend directly checking the website of a restaurant or attraction to make sure of its current business hours, location, etc.

Now, I forgot to mention earlier: I do consult with fellow mischief-makers from time to time. I also interview interesting people (well, I think they’re interesting). The recommendations and opinions of my guests are expressly their own. They do not necessarily represent the views and the opinions of this blog. Old Lady Otts likes to hear all points of view, whether she personally agrees with those views or not.

I may include YouTube or other video links, as well as website links to restaurants, hotels, travel attractions, etc. I try to keep on the side of caution and safety, but please be advised that clicking on those links will take you away from this blog’s site. Old Lady Otts has no power or influence over what happens out there in the Matrix.

Changes:

Old Lady Otts reserves the right to change her mind about anything and everything, and to make changes to her blog content whenever she darn well pleases. Old Lady Otts’ friends and family members have to deal with this sort of thing all the time. You, too, dearest one, may be subjected to Old Lady Otts’ mercurial whims and flights of fancy.

You have been warned.

Bottom Line:

My intention is to show folks a good time, and then send them on their merry way. I really hope you enjoy this blog.
