Dear Mr/Mrs Spammer.

Now I realize this it is BOTs doing this crap and that it’s unlikely you’ll ever read the following rant.

But it makes me feel better to do it.

WordPress has a wonder spam feature.  Really it does.  It lets me hold anything with more than one link.  I have it set so that anything with more than two links is automatically spammed.  The other stuff, I moderate.

And I assure you.  I’m not a fool.  When I see this post:

Wow.  Your guest books is very good.  Many thanks. 

I know this is spam.  Even the ones that only come with 1 or 2 links, even the one link with your website on it.  Naturally, the ones with FIFTY links, any idiot can see this is spam. 

But when all you comment is wow, your guest book…. sweetie.  This isn’t a guestbook.  It’s a blog.  Big difference.  When you comment, I have saved you in my favorites and will be back, I know this is also spam.

Posts like yours are a pain in the tail, but fortunately, wordpress blocks these and the only time I have to see them is when I go empty out all the spam. Will it matter to you if I tell you that you’re wasting your time?  Most blogs have spam filters and the vast majority of these stupid posts are never seen in the light of day.  No.  It probably won’t matter.

But, man…what I wouldn’t give to be able to access your email box and hit with …oh, say 2000 pieces of junk mail a day for the next month.  Junk mail that your spam filter couldn’t catch.

Go away and leave my blog alone.

Okay!  I feel better now.

Before I start my ramble, I got say a big ttttthhhhppppptttttt to TNT and the people in charge of their website.  They have next to no decent publicity stills and the few that I can find, you can’t save a decent sized image to post on your blog.  I mean, they DO want people to talk about the show, right?  Sheesh.

Okay, onto the show.  Who all is watching it?  I do like it, although I don’t really like Grace.  I’m not sure we’re supposed to.  She’s a bit of a tramp, unapologetic about it and she definitely living the hard life.  I do like Earl.  I like some of Grace’s friends.  And if she sleeps with Stillwater, I’m going to get ticked off.  Some guy on this show, besides Earl, needs to show some restraint.

I do like the person I suspect Grace could be if she hadn’t let her past screw her up.  And I do think she has control over that.  A lot of people have had lousy childhoods and a lot of people have suffered serious loss and heartbreak without turning into a drunk that lays everything with the right equipment.  I like the promise she holds, the person that Earl seems to feel she could be.

And I really like Earl.  Did I mention that part?

I had a speculation when I was watching Saving Grace last week.  I’m wondering if the series won’t end with Grace dying.  I could see this being a short series, purposefully, maybe only planned to run a few seasons and the ending will come when Grace dies.

Why do I think this? I could be wrong.  She’s definitely on a fast track to an ugly end, and I mean the ultimate of all ends.  So maybe Earl, her angel, is there to pull her out of this downward spiral.

So far though, it seems Earl likes to show his face to those who are already one foot in the grave.  A convicted murderer on death row, an aunt of Grace that has been told she has less than two months to live.  So is Grace dancing with death and doesn’t even realize it?

Only time will tell, but it’s an interesting thought.

 Just checking out my blog stats the other day and found this

I’m going to assume the P was actually pregnant and just got cut off my wordpress’s word limit on blog hits.

It’s called pica and this is actually one of the things I remember from nursing school.  Not experience, thank God.  Weirdest cravings I had were some serious yearnings for homegrown tomatoes in January, which bites, and hashbrowns.

But some women crave dirt or burnt matches. Odd, huh?
