"Word Verification". . . what a pain!

So yesterday morning when I woke up at 4:30 a.m. and couldn't go back to sleep I decided to catch up on some blog reading. It was dark, obviously, and I couldn't turn on a light because the computer sits just outside the bedroom doors. My hands were feeling swollen and a little tingly as they usually do in the morning (can't wait for that to end). So there I sit in the dark with tingly hands trying to leave comments on blogs and then at the end I am forced to type in the darn "word verification." I consider myself to be able to type fairly well but does anyone else find it challenging to type those in correctly? And it's not even a word. It's a random jumble of letters that your fingers cannot type out smoothly. Sometimes on the real crazy ones if I mistype it more than once I just forgo leaving a comment all together. It gets very frustrating at times. So I went into my blog settings and found out that I have that darn word verification on too! It says it's to reduce the amount of "comment spam." I have never received any spam comments nor have I heard of anyone else receiveing any so I turned it off. Please enjoy leaving a comment on my blog "word verification" FREE! :0)

I just saw that cute baby Mia will be here in just 19 days! I can't believe it's that close. I know it can't come soon enough for you, but you won't have to endure that "you haven't had that baby yet" comment from me because I can't believe you're having that baby.

In case you're wondering, I'm that Kristen from Kearns. This isn't a SPAM comment. :)

I can't stand the word verification either but I do know someone who took it off also and she started getting wierd comments from all over the world. they would say random things, they just want you to check out their web site. who konws:)

I just realized that it was getting close for you to have this baby! That is so exciting! I totally agree about the word verification thing. You will have to let me know if you get weird stuff or not. Oh and I was looking at the slide show of your house and it is so cute! You did a good job decorating!

THANK YOU JESS!! You have no idea how many times I have just closed the comment box because I can't get the stupid word right? I can type, and I should wear my glasses while on the computer, but seriously, word verification?! I think everyone should take it off!!

I hate that too! Is it on my blog? The frog post was too funny! Kenny and I are feeling so bad for that little green guy.

We're flying out to VA tomorrow for a little get away w/o the kids. Are you having a pretty Fall in the East? Can't wait to see the leaves.
