Is it just me?

Am I the only one that has a mini panic attack when I try to leave a comment and the word verification is there, awaiting for me to mess it up? It's like an eye exam. I'm afraid if I get the wrong answer, some optometrist will come out of the woodwork and declare me legally blind. It doesn't help that they put beer goggles on the word verification word... which isn't even a real word, but just a jumble of letters. Trust me, I looked it up. Jntbvrtl is not a word.

Seriously, it's not.

I need to ask something to those of you that kept both your blogger blog and your journal. Which one do you want me to comment in? I still get your alert, so if I don't leave a comment after getting the alert, I feel guilty. But then there's your blog that you just took the time to make, so if I don't leave a comment in it -- I still feel guilty. Help me, please. Help me, help you.

I gotta say this, because it's true. And you all should know that Jodi gives great card. She does. I just got mine in the mail. Happy happy. Joy joy. It was great. Thank you, Jodi!!!

(That was my second pimp on my new blog. Just wanted you to know that.)

Tomorrow, I plan to write in order to voice my ..ah... concern (a.k.a complete and utter rage) over something that has just been brought to my attention. It has nothing to do with journals or ads, so you can breathe a sigh of relief. It's far worse. I'm warning you ahead of time, because the group I am writing about are so off-the-wall insane, they make Tom Cruise look like Ghandi. And I hate Tom Cruise, so that should tell you something.

It's hard to think of a closer to such a strange entry. So instead, I'll just hit the "publish post" button.

I think the word I have to verify below is Serbo-Croat for funkadelic hamster, but I may be wrong hehe. You should leave comments on my fridge with my magnetic poetry magnets, that way I can relate it to all teh blogs all teh time, simple huh?

Hmmmm.... Good point! Where should the comment go?

For me, I'm keeping the AOL one open because I want to go home someday ;p But, we shall see what we shall see. AND, I use the AOL one to pimp new entries. That way, if someone finds the AOL one thru search or an old link I can redirect them here... AND, I occasionally do an entry that is more appropriate for over thier.. i.e. the entry about finding a silver lining in this mess, or an entry about the stupid ads.

Anyway, back to the original question LOL... What I have been doing is leaving the comment in the Journal that has the main entry. For the people who are 'duplicating' the entries in both? Them I leave it in whichever blog I read it in... SHRUG... a little rhyme and reason, but not much! ;p

If I were in a quandry about where to leave a comment, I'd leave one on the non-AOL journal and turn off the alerts for the AOL journal. But that's just me.

As for the word verification, I've been known to type them in incorrectly!!! What happens? You're given a second try with a different set of letters. lol

What about the other sites that have a word verification that looks like a bowl of Alpha Bits? Two dozen letters floating around in a tiny box, some bold and others just are there to "fool" me I guess.

A group that makes Tom Cruise look like Ghandi? Details, please.

I don't panic but I am embarrassed when I screw up and it tells me that I am a sex porn site pimping spam bot.

I wish they would let you pick a serious of rotating words to be in the word verification. Ya know? I could say I want: porkbutt, firthsfirst, manilowrules, and stuff like that to make our fellow bloggers bow to our preferences....bwahahahah

I can't wait to see what you rant about. You can't comment on whichever you prefer. I think there is a way to turn word verification off, but I read that it's is used so comment spammers won't leave any un wanted "jornal commercials".

I just re-read this post, and you remided me of that episode of scrubs, when one of the doctors kept saying, "Help me to help you, help me to help you, help me to help you". LOL
