1) Why are the word verifiers getting harder to translate? Squiggly, squashed, they're impossible!
2) When you're writing a comment, but you've forgotten to click in the Comment box, only you don't realise until you're three sentences in because you don't look at the screen when you're typing, where do all those letters that you've typed go? Is there a half-written novel floating in virtual space? Would a half-written novel comprising a bizarre collection of sentences and words be more successful than my fully-written one?

Dragonstar wondered if the earlier photo was of Blackthorn as opposed to Hawthorn. I only have Husband's word for it but he is usually pretty reliable, however I would advise that you keep close to hand any clouts you cast, for the time being at least.

Why would ONE of Younger Son's socks be in Betty Beetle?

1) I've noticed this too. These damn letters are a real struggle to read.
2)I don't know about a half-written novel but I've added masses of trash to the ether instead of this little box
If you think Blogger's verifying codes are hard to read, I have a friend with a diet blog on Typepad, I believe it is, and the code on that site is literally undecipherable. It's like the letters are placed on a camouflage background or something. Sometimes I've had to just give up and not even post the comment I've written because, no matter how many tries I'm given, I can't figure it out. And I know I'm not an imbecile...but those codes sure make me feel like one!
Someone else just wrote a post on this today as well. I am so glad both of you mentioned it, because I really thought I needed new glasses or had suddenly become dyslexic in middle age.
I know I have lots of comments floating out there in cyberspace. Too bad, because I'm sure they were more profound thoughts than what I usually write.
I agree with you Blogger gets crazy with this word verification and anyway I think it is useless and turned it off. If somebody wants to put a spam in my comments he can do it anyway. I just delete. It happened to me that I had to click 3 times before my comment was published because I didn't write the word exactly although I am not cross eyed ! My neighbor has transformed her garden into Ford Knox because her Bearnese shephard dog always found a new hole to escape, lol !
Easy verification today !
fuhyb !!
Word verification can be impossible at times. It gets on my nerves when I am trying to leave a speedy comment.
I have added you to my blogroll over at hullaballoia. And now I am wondering just how you get the Welsh flag to flutter so realistically. You must be dead technical and that.

calum, kris, rose, gattina and hullaballoo, perhaps we should write to them! And complain. If enough of us did it, maybe they'd pay attention.
Oh rose, I know. The profound thoughts that get lost. Everyone thinks I'm an idiot because they don't realise what articulate and thought-provoking essays I've written - that are now in cyberspace.
hullaballoo, I'm planning to revamp my blogroll so will include you and bobo. As for the flag, I found it on the net. Tis nothing to do with my expertise else it would be sadly drooping!
Hi Liz, the letters seem clearer this morning (I think) but they have been a complete pain. I have wondered whether someone somewhere is just having a laugh!
I wish my touch typing was better. I usually get my comments in the box but when I look up, half of it is in capitals and I have to do it again!
Can you expain 'Betty Beetle' and I might be able to tell you why one sock was in it! (or her?)
Lastly (almost done!) I think I had gone to be last night when you mentioned MSN. I have never used it, (not sure how) but it sounds fun!! It may mean my bed time gets even later though.
Sorry I meant gone to bed not gone to be!
1) Isn't that your eyesight... :-)
2) There is a printer somewhere where these lost half sentances get concatenated into neveau poetry and is sold to unsuspecting gullible fools in Lemington Spa.
re - your son's sock.... best not to ask I think
suburbia, yes, the letters do seem to have improved again. I'll talk to you about msn later on your blog. Betty Beetle is my little white car.
Furtheron, normally I would say yes, it is my eyesight, but these letters were just completely squirdegy. If there was any money in poetry, I could write rubbish. (What do i mean I could write rubbish? I do.) Probably best not to ask as you say.
Yes, Blogger is a pain with the squishy words but I notice yours is good now.
No word verif on my site, eh? I filter my comments manually.
