How many followers does life-as-a-lumberjack have?
Do you give credit?
Photo: Absolutely. Click any photo, it should take you immediately to the source where I obtained it from.
Submissions: Yes. You should see the user’s name at the end of any submission they make.
Are you paid by the school or connected with any program?
No. I do this on my own time, so please take this into consideration when asking me questions that you could solve with a Google search.
What is the purpose of this blog?
It’s a good way for me to post photos of things I find interesting. I still consider it my scrapbook so keep inappropriate criticism to yourself.
What can I submit?
Anything appropriate: photos, articles, personal testaments, and more.
What can’t I submit?
Vulgar remarks, unrelated content, or anything with the face or name of another individual.
What can I ask?
Anything within reason. Note that I do not ever dispense legal advice. I also may refuse to publish questions that are rude, incomprehensible, or relate to inappropriate topics. Also, please check the freshman master list before asking me a question that’s probably been answered before.
Where do you get the retro photos?

What is the purpose of a RA liaison?
Sometimes I get a question that I think is better directed to an actual RA. RAs are better educated on school policy and often have better insight on human relationships in general. The RA liaison often answers questions that I cannot. The RA liaison is an on-call position, which means questions sent to them may have a delay as we work around their schedule.
