In the days when I had to sign in (rather than being signed in already), the combination of login details and the magic word seemed too much and it always took several attempts no matter how careful I was.<BR/>I don't have a blog, but I am wondering whether Blogger allows you to set a level of complexity here: your word always has nice, clear, separate letters Pattinase, whereas some have really difficult bent letters that seem to be stuck together. <BR/>Thanks for your reply to my previous comment.pierre lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01371090008924140199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-21480885861258475172008-07-22T02:26:00.000-04:002008-07-22T02:26:00.000-04:00I hate it when they run those Vs together and you'...I hate it when they run those Vs together and you're not sure if it's a W or not.pattinase (abbott)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02916037185235335846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-64223488388067928792008-07-21T23:31:00.000-04:002008-07-21T23:31:00.000-04:00I sometimes think the verification word is going t...I sometimes think the verification word is going to present a special message, or maybe something profane.

I'm a creature of habit this way, always leaving the pocket contents in either a designated table space or in the pockets, to be retrieved.<BR/><BR/>Do you believe your community actually recycles all the stuff they collect from your recycling bin? --No good idea...I suppose it depends on this months graft stakes. But the recyclers do have means of separating everything in their flows...I suspect, if it means anything at all, the bin separation is so the curbside pickup guys can make sure there are no food waste, random body parts, etc. mixed in. (Hey, for a week, I still live in Jersey.)<BR/><BR/>What's the most number of times you tried to type in a verification code before getting on a blog?--probably about five. Middle aged blind and clumsy.<BR/><BR/>Are you as tired as I am of reading Tina Fey and Ellen Dengenere's bios on the American Express ads? I mean is it that expensive to run more of them. I bet lots of people would give them that info for free.--I tend to ignore ads as much as possible. ED's charmless tv ad for AmEx would particularly discourage me from reading the magazine ad.<BR/><BR/>Do you have one household problem that has followed you from house to house? (With us it's gutters).--I've had one (1) residence so far, a three-level townhouse with built in bookcases, that had enough shelf space for my library. <BR/><BR/>--Still moving, still swamped, and behind on all blogging responsibilities...Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-66747206346384089392008-07-21T11:00:00.000-04:002008-07-21T11:00:00.000-04:00Totally paranoid about water leaks and black mold....Totally paranoid about water leaks and black mold.

I've always had the suspicion that all of our carefully separated recycling gets thrown into a giant landfill somewhere -- I hope it doesn't.<BR/><BR/>I haven't noticed the ads, but I do get annoyed every time I see a pharmaceutical ad since we're obviously picking up the tab for those in our prescription drug costs.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure one specific house problem has followed us, but my paranoia about plumbing problems and water leaks has :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00665632105920753931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-57457806282301537962008-07-21T09:55:00.000-04:002008-07-21T09:55:00.000-04:00Supposedly we recycle everything.
