Our goal with starting the Wake. Dad. Drink. Repeat. community is to create a community & dialog. Where we can place text rich links, ads, sponsorships, etc to better help our content, experience & readers we will do so, if we can monetize our efforts we will (It just makes sense & wouldn’t you?).

And as of December 1, 2009, the FTC requires bloggers to disclose whenever there could be hidden interests or unspoken biases related to recommendations.  So per the FTC rules, if we interview someone and they grab the bill for lunch, we would need to disclose this. Ditto if we use an Amazon link that gets us 8 cents instead of an Amazon link that gets me 0 cents. If someone gives us a comfy t-shirt with a logo and we wear it in a photo, same deal. Disclaimers all over the place. This would be tedious for us and even more tedious for readers. But rules is rules. To cover our asses and preserve your reading experience, please assume that, for every link and product we use, the following all hold true:
