So here I am blog hopping for a bit this afternoon and I get to my friend Nat’s blog. I try to never miss an opportunity to build her up so I typed up my comment and when it came time to post it, I was brought to an abrupt halt with the word verification. The letters that you have to re-type began with a “u” with “..” above it. I don’t know what that’s called, but it’s German or something. That letter is NOT on my keyboard and I couldn’t figure out what to do. lol If you know the answer, please don’t make me feel dumb for this! So I didn’t get to leave my comment, and that’s VERY frustrating! I could overlook it, but this isn’t the first time this has happened to me. One time I actually called Angi and asked her to turn off her word verification for a few minutes so I could leave her a comment because I couldn’t read whatever foreign language the word was in! LOL She did it, but I endured much grief (deserved I suppose) for that one.
So phooey to all you spammers out there that make us decent bloggers have to jump through hoops to lift up our friends! And sorry to all my friends who I make jump through the w.v. hoop to leave a comment. And that’s my new pet peeve…it could have been worse!
stupid spam!
it’s the thought that counts right? i know that you were going to leave me one…that makes me smile. i love reading your comments. although, i would like to know what you were going to say! i suppose i’ll just have to wait until the notorious “u” goes away.
love you!

I think if you just type it wrong or do type anything then it will pop up with a different set of letters. I agree the spammers are a royal pain! It especially gets my goat when it pops up on something deadly serious like someone blogging about the hurrican survivors or that their loved one is terminally ill. Blood boiling time!

Hey Niki! I was just cruising over your site, and i had a thought. Since i’m not a hard-core blogger like yourself, i’ve only commented on your site. But here is my unsophisticated blogger comment: what if you copied your comment, then clicked the refresh button so that a new word varification came up, repaste your comment. All shall be superb, because the German probably won’t be there again.
Call me if you want more professional help. Love ya
