Behind Every Cloud...

is a silver lining...and I saw it!

Many times, I have viewed the silver lining and I am blessed with each viewing but today I want to gripe, and hope against hope, you want to listen to me.

I have blogged almost four years and have been dedicated.  I have entertained, sometimes shocked you and also hope I've made you laugh more than not.

I am here to complain about word verification and no-reply comment bloggers...yep, that's right, I'm complaining again.  As blessed as I am, I should not, but sadly, I am human and (gasp!) we are never satisfied. 

I try to make it simple for everyone to visit me, that wants to visit, that is.   No word verification is used.  The spam blocker in Blogger is sufficient  if you don't take anonymous comments...there's a place to mark for that.  If a spam slips through, you can enter your comments and block and delete the spammer.  This has only happened twice with me...someone wanting to advertise...twice since they introduced spam blocker...not bad.

I enjoy, no, I absolutely love the interaction.  When someone takes the time to comment, I love to answer and acknowledge that they took the time and thought to comment.  I never go back to my blog post, I receive my comments through email.  Easy-peasy...hit reply and have a conversation...or just say thank you for commenting.  Then I head butt with no reply comment blogger!!  Frustration abounds.  THEN because I don't want to high-hat someone I go to their blog and make a comment about their comment.  I know I make it hard on myself but if you honor me with a comment, I want to thank you.  It's the right, kind, polite thing to do.

I love my followers, I love the comments, but I'm basically lazy...or work smart, not hard, which ever one you want to pick...or you can call me a whiner...it's okay...but please allow me to get through to you with email and comment easily on your blog.

That's it, I'm done.  Hope I didn't make any one mad...we'll see if my followers drop. Just my side as I see it.

Life will go on with that silver lining in every cloud and, hopefully, we can make blogging less complicated for all of us.

I do acknowledge it is your choice, this is only my opinion.

My Horoscope For Today And More Nonsense

Wow! Read my horoscope just for entertainment. I know some people are uncomfortable with this, but my idea about horoscopes is kinda like talking to friend. You may get good or bad information, but, either way, it certainly is fun.

"You experience an inclination towards spirituality. You feel a strong need to know where you are going internally. All this soul searching will help you touch base with yourself and set things right. Go ahead and look within; bring out the best that is in you."

See, good advice. How did they know this about me? I certainly have been doing some soul searching lately and incline to the spiritual. I want to know what I am about and I certainly need to bring out the best in me!

Skipping on to another thought...Why do we have Word Verification?? I have mine turned off. What does it help with, and does it block only those who cannot type? I need to know this!

Why do I think of all these unimportant questions when I am exhausted? A line runs through my head from a song I cannot remember, then I search until I find the answer. Either by booting my brain or my computer. It was right there on the tip of my tongue and whoops! gone! It really bothers me when I cannot answer my own questions. Could it be from all the early years of being told to look it up?

Okay, so you're saying, this girl is crazy tonight...could be...could be that horoscope!

Blutson ENTPOR...

EINPER, POTYER...I know these are just random letters but I have fun reading the word verifications. Do you ever pay attention to them or just type them without READING them? There are some interesting words in that seldom noticed land of word verification. I, then, having nothing better to entertain me, make up definitions. Example: POTYER is your private bath. LEMIZE is a day in which you just lay around, kinda lazy. KLOLPE is the sound a horses' hooves make. MALNIPI is when you clip the wrong bush.

Isn't this fun?

Next time you sign in to post a comment, just notice...it's never just letters!

Hope everyone has a fire tonight to warm your family and warm your heart.
