Does anyone else ever have trouble with the security codes to ensure you're not a spam comment on blogger?
I don't blame blogger; Not at all. It's all me. For some reason I cannot read the things right and type the right letters into the box.
Confession: It once took me three tries.
Please tell me this has happened to you? It doesn't need to be frequent (I have trouble probably once every half dozen comments).
Oh and for the record, I blame the fancy fonts they use.

About Me
- mel
- I am a T1 diabetic (or a person with type 1 diabetes).
One Reason to Love Bawston!
The "Old Hancock" building is topped by a weather beacon with red and blue lights, which use a code to present the local weather forecast, using a popular rhyme as a mnemonic.
Steady blue, clear view.
Flashing blue, clouds due.
Steady red, rain ahead.
Flashing red, snow instead.
Steady blue, clear view.
Flashing blue, clouds due.
Steady red, rain ahead.
Flashing red, snow instead.
During baseball season, flashing red means the Boston Red Sox game has been called off on account of weather.
In October of 2004, the beacon flashed red and blue to commemorate the Boston Red Sox World Series victory. This was the first time the color scheme changed since the beacon was lit in 1950. A new line was added to the poem accordingly:
Flashing Blue and Red, when The Curse of the Bambino is dead!
The beacon again flashed red and blue when the Red Sox won the 2007 World Series.

oh hell yeah.
And congrats on the AIC!
Absolutely!
Sometimes the j's look like i's and the u's look like v's! Drives me crazy!
Yeah - me too!
I often times just submit the damn thing wrong so it will refresh and be something different (and hopefully easier to read!)!
Of course it's hard.
That's to discourage you blog spammers. :-)
Yet another thing made a LOT harder because of spamming.
If you haven't already noticed there's a huge uptick in e-mail spam at present. It's shocking.
As for blog spam, I've seen friends blogs destroyed due to constant spam for all sorts of nasty stuff.
So I guess it's a good thing, in a way.
Excuse me now while I try to decode the characters below.
Let me see:
asfdoog, no
asmydog, no
surfdog, dang I can't get it right!
Well, not usually, but I've definitely had tons of problems they caused - images not loading, saying I typed the wrong thing when I didn't and erasing my comment. As if it weren't hard enough already. I think I don't have the same problem mainly because I hate having my comment erased, so it makes me pay really close attention and check it a lot before submitting.
Lili: This is why I ALWAYS copy my comments before attempting anything, but most especially before attempting to enter the code!
I'm with Mel. I always copy my comments before I start to preview or anything because I've lost a few.
Kind of lousy software when you think about it, that you need to do this.
Case in point, I had to enter the passphrase twice to post this quick note.
