Entertaining Spam Comments!

spam

Anyone who runs a website knows there is the hassle of filtering out hundreds of spam comments daily.  Thank goodness for Akismet which does most the work sorting which comments are junk and needed to be placed in the round file (trash can).   However, I still go through all the comments to make sure no one's legit remarks are accidentally marked as spam.  I would hate for something like that to happen, because I value anyone who takes the time to actually read my articles and appreciate … [Read more...]

I was reading through the Hickory Farms Giveaway comments (yes, I read every one of them) and was impressed by all the great holiday traditions plus fabulous ideas shared.  Then I come across a comment from a reader who wrote "One year I was stunned to see that there were as many adult presents as kid presents. And this is all for people who don’t want or need anything, complain about having to do Christmas shopping, nag me for ideas about what to get everyone else, and one particular … [Read more...]

She had a rough attendance year from having the flu and strep throat. I was so worried it was going to affect her grades and she would fall behind.

Do Actors Die In Threes?

actors die in threes

[ad#Google Adsense-1] I have heard that actors die in threes, but always thought it was some weird superstition.  However, I'm starting to wonder if there isn't some truth to this myth.  Gary Coleman (1970s TV sitcom "Diff'rent Strokes)  died yesterday at age 42 from an intercranial hemorrhage.  TODAY there is breaking news actor Dennis Hopper dies at age 74!  He was battling prostate cancer which unfortunately took his life.  Extremely sad!  My question is who is next?  VERY SCARY! … [Read more...]
