Life Story Writing Network
Disclaimer

The family life stories you will see posted on this website are written by me. By posting humor and jokes in addition to my stories on this site, my intent is not to take credit for another's works, but to provide wit in an otherwise dreary world.

To help you recognize the titles in the leftside menu as jokes, humorous articles and not as my own stories, I have placed the designation of (humor) after the titles. In no way, shape or form is it my intent to plagiarize anyone's works by posting them here and I do not take credit for writing them. When known, I have always requested permission to post and I always give credit and provide promotional links if applicable.

Should you find a non-credited humorous article or joke on this website that you believe is the work of someone you know, please write to me and provide the title of the page located on this site, and tell me who you believe the author is - If possible, provide a website where I can verify this new information as fact (or simply go tell the author I have their work on my site!). I will gladly give credit where credit is due or remove the piece if requested. Yes, yes, I know what I'm saying by making that statement ... I may eventually have to remove all the jokes and humorous articles from my site!! Then all you'll see are my stories. Really, folks, it's not such a bad consolation prize if you ask me.

My website is one of the more popular and most visited story writing and writing related websites on the Internet. Due to the millions of visitors I get to this website annually, most authors or writers of credited pieces on this site are proud to display a piece of their work here and receive promotional links back to their websites, if applicable.

Sadly and to our loss, Dave Barry, author of How to Win Arguments, Marty Riskin, author/illustrator of the The Perfect Dump which was an excerpt from his book entitled, Confessions from the Bathroom, and Kathryn Hammer, author of Preparing for your Mammogram, an excerpt from her book, AND HOW ARE WE FEELING TODAY? The Impatient Patient's Hospital Survival Guide, have requested that I remove their humorous pieces from my site. I'm sure Dave Barry must answer to a higher source, The Miami Herald. Marty Riskin simply wished to have the toilet humor joke, The Perfect Dump, removed and gave no reason other than stating emphatically that I was plagiarizing his work by keeping his work on my site. Kathryn Hammer was extremely polite in her request for removal and simply pointed out that her work was copyrighted and she wished to protect it.

Regardless of the reasons, there are certainly no hard feelings due to anyone's requests for removal of a legitimate piece of their's. I even comply with these requests when I know there are thousands of other pages on the Internet that display the exact same material and who still are and who probably have no intention of removing anyone else's material. By removing the humorous articles, my website traffic does not change and I continue to promote the author and provide ways for my visitors to contact them.

The Life Story Writing Network website is extremely well marketed. If you landed on Life Story Writing Network because of the results of a search for Dave Barry, How to Win Arguments, Miami Herald, Marty Riskin, The Perfect Dump, Confessions from the Bathroom, Kathryn Hammer, Preparing for your Mammogram, or AND HOW ARE WE FEELING TODAY? The Impatient Patient's Hospital Survival Guide, we regret that their humorous articles are no longer available on this site.
