It's true.
I've been flagged for inappropriate or objectionable content.
I'm shocked.
I have always thought that I have a good sense of what is appropriate and what is not. I am always careful to choose my words and images wisely as to not offend or upset any one of my six readers.
However, according to Blogger standards, I have committed any one of the following violations, to which I staunchly disagree with.
1. General inappropriate content.
I was going to post this picture taken from a trip Rob and I took years ago to a remote, undisclosed island off the coast of Australia.
But, I didn't.
I didn't because I found this picture offensive.
As my mother has always said, it is rude to point.
2. Copyright/Piracy issues.
I was going to post this picture of this incredibly limber man found on my sister's blog.
But I didn't.
I didn't because I knew I needed to ask her permission before using this photo. I tried calling her for weeks and was unable to speak with her due to her intense screening process. So, I just scrapped that idea.
3. Hate.
I toyed with the idea of posting about my deep distain for mayonnaise
and bananas
But I didn't.
I like to keep my blog as positive as possible so, I left that idea alone.
4. Violence.
Now I may be guilty of this one.
In August 2007, I posted a story about Rob's encounter with this beautiful, yet aggressive bird.
I can see where this bird attacking my husband's stick-like ankles could be seen as being violent.
And, I apologize.
5. Impersonation.
This is another guilty admission.
I posted this picture of Kasey (with her permission) impersonating a cave woman.
Again, I apologize. (Not for the picture, but for Kasey's insensitive decision to inaccurately depict our ancestors for Halloween.)
So, to whomever was offended by anything posted on "Olive-Us", please accept my sincerest apology. I am deeply saddened by any harm or ill feelings this family friendly blog has caused you. I am at a loss for words. So much so, that I have chosen to share with you the following photo which I feel accurately portrays my remorse.
