I've have found so many new blogs... and every time I go to leave a comment, this blurry box pops up and wants me to play a guessing game about the letters and numbers inside the box. I know this is to prevent spam, but I'm partially blind from Microsoft Excel and tanning in my teens without using goggles.
I fail them at least three times before the Caption Warrior realizes that I am too dumb to be a Spam Robot.
To read the posts, I have to dig out my "Gideon-Yago-MTV-News" glasses. We should all go into our settings and remove this feature. It will be like a virtual hug for me. :)

Next Tuesday, Amy and I are hosting a link up. We have found so many new blogs and thought it would be fun to do a "Day in the Life" kind of post. Basically, just documenting your average day {mine will be pictures of cute babies and spread sheets}. Chris is putting together a button for us now... so we can be real cool blogger linker uppers.

Speaking of Chris.... Thank you for all of his birthday wishes. He loves all of my blog friends, so I know he was happy reading all of the comments.
He has been so busy doing blog designs {shameless plug on the left}. On Friday I am going to post a few of the blogs that he has designed this week... they look awesome. :)

Little Olive Betty is a crawling machine. Now she is doing a downward dog pose trying to get up on her feet to walk. She loves wrestling with her brother.
Happy Wednesday, Friends!
Thanks for the encouragment on my blog! And I fail those too!!!! so frustrating.
ReplyDeleteHa. I changed that setting yesterday! Hate those little words - never get them right! Prayers would be appreciated while I complete my current excel project. Procrastination Station here. xxx
ReplyDeleteyou look cute with glasses - SMILE!
ReplyDeleteLove this post. I hate those word guess things too. It always takes me a few times to get it right as well. I'm so excited about our link-up!! I love that picture of Olive and Haven. They are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI loathe the security box [insert totally inappropriate joke here] and I got rid of mine when I realized I would have to play that guessing game when trying to comment on my *own* blog. Nothankyou.
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of your kids, too, so cute!
You are so funny! I totes agree that microsoft has ruined my eyesight. I hate than damn security box too! I hope it's not on my blog - I need to check! Excited for the link up and your babies are precious. :) Happy Hump Day!
ReplyDeleteI so tanned without goggles too! I've never commented but I love your blog! I'm very excited about the link up!
ReplyDeleteThat is a precious photo of your little ones! Little blondies!!
ReplyDeleteOMG! Dying @ the Gideon Yago, MTV News comment! Haaaa!! That brought back some memories!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to do a blog post as " A Day in the Life", so I'm exicted that I ca do that and link up with y'all!
I love your kids ... when can they come for a weekend and visit Aunt Aly?!
I hate those Spam things too!! I asked my hubs why they do that and his reply was to make sure I'm not a robot! Yea because a freaking robot could type in the computer what that say when a human can barley read it! I don't know if my blog has it but going to check it now, if so I will remove it!
ReplyDeleteAlso, way to put your hubs to work!! I bet he's doing great with the blog design because yours looks amazing!!
I found your blog through Mama L and I absolutely LOVE it. I've never commented on any blog before, but I had to say THANK YOU for writing about the blurry box of characters. I know I have terrible eyes and wear my glasses all the time but I NEVER get them right and end up not leaving a comment because I can't figure out the stupid word. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Keep up the great blog - it's one of the high points in my long work day to see what you have to say next!
ReplyDeleteI agree! I don't have it and I have never recieved spam. Wait...maybe that is because I don't have enough traffic to warrant spam...whateva! :) I try to make it pleasant for those who do! :)
ReplyDeleteI HATE those things! I never use it and never will because it's like college algebra and I fail every time. I feel like a total dumbass when it gives me an error like SIX times in a row.
ReplyDeleteLove that Olive is crawling - she is sooooo cute!!! C is starting to crawl to a little and I am in SERIOUS trouble now!!!

Haven and Olive are so precious.
ReplyDeleteAnd does MY blog ask for word verification? I don't think that it should but you never know. Or I never know. I'm sure you know. :)
I hope I remember to put something up for the link up next Tuesday. Sounds like fun :)
I love your glasses. I hate word verification too. I have to try like 7 times to get it right. pout.
ReplyDeleteOMG...just got your email...can I say that I am a MAJOR IDIOT??? LOL
ReplyDeleteAHHHH word verification and noreply@blogger.com - two of my biggest pet peeves! Your glasses are very cute and of course those doll babies are precious as ever! Can't wait for your link up!
ReplyDeleteLove you in your glasses...I agree, down with the word verification! You guys are rockin blog land. And just in case you didn't already know it or in case I have never mentioned it...your kids are adorable, adorable, adorable!
ReplyDeleteoops...I am a guilty new blogger and had mine turned on (Just changed the settings). I've never done a link up but I'm excited to try it. Love your blog :)
ReplyDeleteYAY!!! That sounds like a great link up! I will definitely be joining in on the fun!
ReplyDeleteWorking on the honey to understand that $40 is a good price for a blog design, because mine needs an lift!
The downward dog phase was my favorite with my little girl (my husband of course called her "long snapper") Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteLove the pic of the kiddos!
ReplyDeleteOne thing I love about your page is that I don't have to do that stupid spam blocker code shit!! I'll go to mine right now to make sure mine's turned off!
ReplyDeleteLol I don't have vision trouble and I still cannot read those letters!! I also am too dumb to be a robot!! Haha
