An Apology - I had to turn on comment registration
I've been getting tons of comment Spam. This is when someone posts a whole bunch of comments on one post, with links to advertised sites, usually with questionable content.
I've made two changes.
One: You can choose to register with TypeKey. This is a service that helps protect bloggers from Spam. Under the Smileys 
You will see the line "If you have a TypeKey identity, you can sign in to use it here." Click on sign in to use your TypeKey login or to create one to use in the future.
Two: If you have chosen not to register, I will have to approve your comment and it will not show up until I do so.
I apologize for this inconvenience. I really like having it be nice and easy for everyone to comment, but cleaning up all the Spam comments has been ridiculous.

Mike, I'm so sorry that there are so many ignorant, greedy, selfish and angry people out there. I registered with "TypeKey" so I can comment. I'll help Mom do so too. I'm glad there's a service out there like "TypeKey" to help handle the problem.

You better approve this message. LOL. It stinks that people can ruin the fun for everyone else. Good luck with your new system.

Well, that was fun. I'm registered too.

OK, sweetie, I approved your comment since you are too lazy to register.
And to Laurie,
Cool! Thanks!
