Grumble grumble Captchas

So, I'm mostly asleep from the grand total of five hours I've slept the last three nights and the like, so I'm not going to write a post about the irritation of ER residents not releasing information that is important, RSV or anything like that.  Instead, I am going to use the word "so" repeatedly and go on a short rant.

What the heck is up with the blogspot based captchas these days?  It changed sometime in the last few weeks and it's just an unnecessary and annoying hassle.  And why even have these things on?  And am I the only one who gets so irrationally annoyed when one pops up?

I'll save my bloody toddler ear pictures for tomorrow as well, but for now, let's take a moment to judge captchas.  Come on, please?

  1. Ugh they are awful! Drives me crazy when ppl still have them on. Before I went private, I had them turned off for months and never had one spam comment.

  2. I think my blog was set to captchas for comments, and then I took it off. And I'm not getting any spam going through anyway. So yeah, maybe if you're a newspaper or something. But for regular folks? Not necessary.

  3. The new ones are awful and illegible.

  4. I like getting spam comments so I leave them on. I'm joking. I'm not. They make me laugh. I actually had to Google CAPTCHAS. But my Google search said, you're right. They are useless on blogspot. I do hate them. I hope you get some sleep soon and that everyone is OK:(

    I turned the captchas off on my blog - they were horrible.

  7. Mine aren't turned on either :)
    I was thinking I might just be spam or not human...because I was unable to figure the damn things out !
    Glad it's not just me.

  8. I don't know what they are. I guess they are not bothering me:)
    It has been so long since I visited you. Glad to see so much good news. Especially Chiron walking and the girls are doing good.
    Sorry about the sleep deprivation. It is rough. Oh, yes, and CUTE tummy:)

  9. Judging!!!

    I turned all my captcha / approvals / whatever off months ago. Occasionally I get a random spam comment, but nothing I can't deal with...unlike those bleepity-bleep captchas!

    Hope this finds Chiron doing much better!

  10. Do I have those on mine? If so, how do I turn them off? Also, so sorry about Chiron's RSV. And the ER experience! So frustrating!

  11. omg, I just realized TODAY that my blog comments required captchas. I just assumed that because I didn't have to do them to comment, nobody did. Anyway, I felt like I owed you a retroactive apology.
