BOB insists


There are those among us -

Who INSIST -

That we remove the word verification -

From OUR blogs -

To make it easier -

For THEM -

To leave a comment -

To which BOB replies -

SAY WHAT?!?!?

===

You’ve heard that before -

BUT -

How about this -

BOB insists -

That YOU -

Remove any and all music from your blog -
It is annoying -
And I don’t want to hear it -

Change the font size and color on your blog -
To something that I can actually READ -
I won’t read your blog if I CAN’T read your blog -

Use proper grammar -
Him and me did NOT go to the store -
I did not spend years in school learning proper grammar -
Just to hear/read you butcher it -

Spell words correctly -
So that I know what you mean -
WHERE and WEAR are NOT the same -
And there is a difference between THERE - THEIR - and THEY’RE -
And there is a difference between YOUR and YOU’RE -

To make it easier -

For ME -

To understand YOU -

To which you would undoubtedly reply -

SAY WHAT?!?!?

You can’t tell me what to do!!

It’s MY blog -

It's MY music -

It’s MY font -

It’s how I speak -

It’s how I spell -

You’re not the boss of me!!

And BOB would just smile sweetly -

And say -

EXACTLY!! ;))



But then again - it’s probably just me.

Nope, not the boss of you at all. The only thing I personally can control is my reaction to any of your decisions, right?

I often read the blogs I follow in feeds. I like the sage feeds in Mozilla for that so I may need to change browsers. No biggie. My choice there too.

I may not know what your font, background or header even looks like --or that you have changed it to something else--UNTIL I want to comment. Oh, the horrors! I may have to click on something twice and waste a nano-second of time doing so. Just to say "beautiful" or "cool"---like commenting on a blog is like facebook. Next I may begrudge your making me type either of those two words, LOL.

I agree, that the music can be annoying. Again, I don't hear it on feeds---till I go to comment or look at your history past say, 15-16 posts. That and half the time I forget to turn the speaker on till I need it for a ball game or listening to music.

But BOB has every right to insist if she wants to-----

You know, I've been hearing way too much about this word verification thing. Not just you, so no worries there, but I suppose if you're too troubled to fuss with the thing that google has put in place to keep spammers from leaving links to porn on my blog, etc., then I probably don't need to know what you have to say anyways. (And if it's that important, I'd imagine you could dig around a little and e-mail me directly. THAT doesn't require word-verification, but I truly hope hotmail dumps your porn links into my spam folder.) The one thing I'd like to see gone from blogs? Ads that take my poor old computer 15 minutes to load. I've taken a number off my reading list for that reason only.

As a side note, today I was getting my oil changed and witnessed some change-making "magic." 1 cent magically changed into 75! At least the guy making the change understood the math involved... But it made me think of you and smile.

BOB just added a couple of more lines to the version you read - ;))

Recently a friend of mine had her email hijacked - another friend got her credit card info stolen from something she ordered online - and I am getting spam hits from some YouTube video game spam thingy - not that BOB has to explain what she does or why - ;))

Gotta hear the "magic" story!! And BOB tried to cash a check the other day - can't wait to tell you about that one - ;))

Linda C said...

Read both versions and still agree, LOL. Go, BOB, go!

Linda said...

LOL You nailed all my pet-peeves too! Oh Gosh! BOB & I are just too much alike. It's scary. hahaha
Well....except for that dang word verification. ;o)

A Left-Handed Quilter said...

Thanks, Linda! I'll tell you the same thing that I told Katie - just so you know why I choose to HAVE word verification - ;))

Your profile says that you have been on Blogger since July 2009 - so I assume that you are a "no-reply commenter" by choice - ;)) Your choice is YOUR choice - right?? - ;))
