Notice ~ Kate’s Window is my personal web log, written and edited by me, reflecting my own views and opinions.  Since I’m over 50 – no way I’m saying how much – my views and opinions have often changed, and I hope will continue to do so.  Back in the late ’60’s, I had a conversation w/an ophthalmologist, hoping for something other than HARD contact lenses.  He avowed that that would never happen in my lifetime.  By the early ’70’s, I was wearing, tah-dah, Softlens.  The lesson learned – never say never – ever.

I am the Master of My Own Domain; content and comments will live here civilly – or else.

Concerning content ~

  • If I opine about something you find disturbing – please leave a comment anyway. 
  • If an opine contains content which might present a conflict of interest – I’ll identify that.  
  • If I accept any form of cash, advertising, sponsorship, paid inserts, or other forms of compensation – I’ll identify that. 
  • If I accept any products, services, travel, event tickets, and other forms of compensation – I’ll identify that. 
  • If compensated to provide an opinion – I’ll identify that. 

Comment Policy ~ Comments are welcome and encouraged, but please stay on-topic and be civil.

  • To leave a comment, you must use a personal, non-commercial URL or leave the URL field blank.
  • I will keep the commentator’s contact information confidential.
  • All comments are the views of their authors and my posting them does not imply that I agree with them.
  •  I will determine, by the code of civility, what comments I will post.
