Well, I only woke up once last night. When I did wake up, next to Bubba, that handsome black cat you see in my sidebar, I had a terrible headache.
I took some Excedrin, it is gone. But I'm up.
Still coughing but I feel "better". I actually think I'm going to live. I'm staying home today and resting, but it's nice to know.
Ron was annoyed, when I turned on my computer the music woke him up. He was very cranky, and went back to bed. I apologized. I really didn't know it would bother him.
So, I posted on my various forums and came here. Two comments. Oh, boy.
Nope. Two spams.
I hate spam. I hate badly tranliterated "offers" to "check out my page". I hate messages so incomprehensible I have to wade through and pick out keywords. They all start with phony compliments, then they go to "give me your money" sooner or later.
I wish they'd leave me alone. I know there's a human being at the other end of it, one I should be praying for, but it makes me angry that a spammer wants to use MY blog to make money, to turn it into a cheap billboard for fake viagra or whatever.
Insulting. Even more insulting to think I'd fall for the phony, badly translated compliments. Too bad I deleted all my spam or I'd do a cut and paste.

As much as you hate spam, I hate whomever hacks emails then sends porn to my entire email address book. It horrifying to me my friends and family think they are getting a note from me and it is a link or obscene photos.
Has happened twice in the past year
It only requires a change inyour password to stop it. But then having to contact folks
I also hide my IPC at all times with a fake one online. The Internet is fun, educational and scary! Be careful Heather protect yourself
i get the occasional real comment to my gardening blog, but its mostly gibberish spammy stuff. i tend to ignore any comments by "Anonymous"... but i do get legitimate Anon comments maybe once every 2 years.
i hate using those Captcha auto-approval methods, so i have it set so anyone can comment without it, but i have to approve it before it can be published.
