I have to eat my words, and more on word verfication

I try to comment on blogs when I get a chance but often don't end up posting after trying many times to comprehend the wacky "word verification" without success. I wondered if there were a ton of spammers out there attempting to post comments on blogs and I took the word verification off my blog.

As a direct response to her brother's lack of shame, every single year at Christmas and on her birthday Veronica refuses to admit she desires any gift at all. This makes her my most hard youngster to shop for. Shopping for teenage girls is one thing that I dread

Wacky.
And I couldn't be bothered dealing with them, so I am eating my words and putting word verification back up - even though I hate it.
