Hello Friends! I have been naughty.
Back in April, my Beloved wrote a tutorial about how to make a facemask at home. In our part of the world, fabric was scarce and supplies in general were limited, so she researched what materials made the best filters from salvagable material.
If you are at a place where you need to make a facemask that does not wrap around the ears, here is the link.
So, my Beloved is a local hero. A local construction company was in dire need of face masks that were durable and they used her pattern to manufacture several dozen of these for their employees. I am not sure how effective they are at this point, but some of the workers are still wearing the same mask many months later, a testament to the durability and effectivnesss of the design.
I am proud of her contribution and she deserves a shout out.
Recently, when I wrote Word Pirates, Brother’s Campfire recieved some flack for not allowing plagiarism. I will continue to protect the interests of Brothers Campfire as it sets an example for others to protect their work as well.
I assure you, despite my firm stance on stealing words, we have done our part in not spreading Covid, but rather Kindness (I use a different approach than the link.)
in ensuring folks in every industry we could help recieved either a donated mask or the instructions on how to do so with the resources available.
Now a story. I told you I was naughty. Now I am compelled to say why.
First of all, I have been accused of being a troll, and perhaps in some ways I have if trolling trolls is trolling.
Anyway, I am analytical at times and was looking at different keywords others use when they are looking for my site. Face Mask Tutorial Brothers Campfire are a string of words used for example.
Curious to find out what other sites used the same string, I found this gem.
Being a storyteller, I called a character from the dark recesses of my mind and gave him an opportunity to meddle in the medical. He is almost mystical in his knowledge of many things.
Folks, I present medical professional and world traveler, Wooster Romany.
Wooster Romany reached out to this company and submitted his demand, just like the website says.
A response was forthcoming.
“Dora” was not informed that key words were used on their website and it was fun to have Wooster Romany show me photos from my blog sent by Www.Tongweimedical.com . She was genuinely confused.
Poor Dora was still confused. Wooster sent her a screenshot of the quote form above and an exerpt from the Tongwei website to let her know what he was referring to. Here it is.
Works for me. I would consider this fair use as it credits the author, Bella Bizzie.
Wooster felt as though he was asking for the wrong product and asked about the Bella Bizzie 9.
So there you have it. The Chinese have used the Brother’s Campfire Facemask model, potentially saving millions of lives! Doctor Romany demanded more.
Brother’s Campfire may be in business. Thanks Doctor Romany and thank you, Tongwei Medical!

You do exhibit some of the attributes of a troll, but do you live under a bridge?
I once had a run in with 3 billy goat’s gruff. It did not end well.
To thyself were you enough?
I simply stated, ” who’s that trip trapping over my bridge?”
Fair enough.
🤠🔥
I will be trolling again soon. Wooster Romany won the African lottery.
Beautiful!
Doctor Wooster Romany has so much cash that he is looking to support the woman offering him 1.5 million dollars. It is not working as anticipated for the poor man.
Poor guy.
You a troll? Neverrrrr! Its probably more me. I troll trolls too😂 and so does my sis.
I scam scammers. It is fun. I “buy” gold online and “win” lotteries.
That is really bizarre. I hope the good doctor has a good time.
I wish him well. He is selling his likeness for 12 dollars. Makover coming.
Not to defend “Dora,” but I’ll bet the web designer who created the page with your Beloved’s mask instructions simply copied and pasted the text without knowing a single word of English. I’ve seen this a lot when wandering through Chinese-language blogs and websites. They’re mostly just looking for content to fill a page, hoping to snag some gullible person out there on the Web, or they just want the eyeballs, the hits that might result in their being able to sell the domain for real money.
(I used to be a moderator for an anime fansite, and I often had to crawl through the muck of the internet in pursuit of content thieves and real trolls. You, sir, hardly even qualify, I am glad to say. You also made me laugh so hard my cat yowled at me to be quiet!)
“Dora” is someone trying to pay the bills and feed their family. I care abour Dora.
I am glad that I do not qualify as a troll and I am quite appreciative of your
insight. Anyone can use keywords and that is how the cookie crumbles. The masks are free as well as the instructions. We put it together when the crisis began with good intentions.
I am glad that I brought a little laughter to your corner of the world, friend!
Very nice 👍 you have a compassionate wife! That was sweet of her to do
And someone actually gave you slack for calling out plagiarism?
All that makes me think is that they themselves can’t think for themselves – would rather take someone else’s words – how uninspiring they sound … perhaps is the issue with the country right there? Do they not know the difference between right and wrong? Pretty sad
Whatever – everyone is entitled to an opinion – hopefully it’s their own 🤨✌️ although I doubt it if they are giving you slack about that.
See I just instantly wouldn’t listen – cause how do you even know their words would be their own anyway?
And it’s a little humorous because … people just gotta find stuff to complain or disagree about omg – does it ever stop?!
All the rest of it… was a little confusing to me
Anyway have a good night ✌️
Hello Omatra 7.
It was very sweet of my Beloved to sew a lot of well made face masks and make a tutorial!
If you read the comments on my recent plagiarism post, you will see what I am talking about.
As for the rest being confusing it is likely my writing style. What I did was Google my site from another login and noticed that a Chinese company was using my material to advertise. I made up a character and investigated.
I had a great night! It is Sunday Morning and I plan on going to church!
You can call me Trisha if you want 😊✌️ Either or
That was very sweet of her!
Haha I probably should NOT read those cause I comment with certain things 😄✌️
Oh wow! Did you get them to stop that? Well people obviously admire what you have to say and offer lol – small flattery/compliment in a way?
Have fun in church… I am off to work again lol ✌️
Thanks for the feedback Trisha! You are a fine addition to the Campfire!
Very welcome, thank you also very much 😊
Wowww! Soo wrong!!!
😕
That is really Like plagiarism!
Filthy thieveses. They stole it from us. Our precioussssss.
(Seriously tho: they’re douchebags.)
Ha ha! If it was something other than facemasks I would be pretty upset. The tutorial was for everyone. Thanks for stoppi g by Zoewiezoe!
Awesome sauce
Awesome indeed that the Communists thought my blog was view worthy enough to use my material!

Trolling trolls…that’s what one of my older brother’s love to do! XD
I have a little fun doing it😏🔥🤠
Oh of course, it’s always fun XD
I won the “African Lottery” and tried to romance the spokeswoman. Have not heard back.
