Things around here have been crazy, and I apologize for not writing yesterday. In addition to a huge outlaw motorcycle wedding celebration, I had other familial things going on, and I just couldn’t keep up with my reading and writing.

Today, after getting the house back into working order, I opened up my website, and lo and behold! I have 155 Spam Comments. I have Akismet, which has been pretty effective in weeding out the garbage that gets sent to my website, but I’m wondering what happened yesterday. Did Akismet take the day off, like me? I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many spam comments show up overnight.

Reading through these, I have to ask….Why is the grammar so obviously incorrect?? I can see where most of them have tried to sound somewhat personal, but when attached to some of the articles, they just sound ridiculous!

Here’s some of them that make me shake my head and wonder what the h*** they are trying to say.

Its like men and women are not interested until it is one thing to do with Lady gaga! Your individual stuffs nice. All the time take care of it up!” commented on How An Outlaw Motorcycle Club Taught Me Honor

Maybe some day, someone could explain to me what exactly “spam” is and why their grammar and spelling  is so bad. And how do these messages get me to buy whatever these weirdo websites are selling?
