Ok, the usual method of turning off WV/Captcha does not work. Believe me, I've tried several more times. Yes, I have tried turning it off and on again. And I can't even comment on my own blog because the captcha keeps giving me more images, and eventually fails me anyway. I've reported it, in several places. What do I need to do to stop this? Any ideas? Gods, I hate those little images.
I'll take spam over this ordeal. Any time.
Sorry, not what I needed when I got home. Long, hard week.
Still, the rains finally arrived, good drenchers through the night and into today. Cooler and wetter and I'm so relieved. After the heat and dry all damn summer. GCFU† in full force, depresses me to dwell on it, and the willful ignorance of the deniers. So much stupid around.
Still, rain. And the rye is coming up, as well as leftover buckwheat. In spots, at least. And snow up in the mountains. Happily wearing a sweater, settling in. Cooked up the fennel bulbs, lovely meal. Eleanor even let me pick her up for a snuggle, a rare treat. The picking up, not so much the snuggle. Well... oh, you know what I mean. Or you don't, but I'm not up to further clarification.
Ran into my PTSD therapist, and one-time-patient at the wine* store. Kind and warm, we both kept a certain distance, as well we should. Tricky thing, to run into one's patient out in public, there are (legal) issues of confidentiality. As I left, I touched her arm and told her it was so good to see her, and she responded in kind. We are not friends, as such, and are trained not to break confidences - in this case, our very relationship, since that would break confidentiality in itself.
*The State runs liquor stores, and a few wine stores - that also sell beer and a small selection of liquors. It's all a bit complicated, but I'm glad I can pick up decent strong beer closer to where we live, even if I have to ignore the mass of wine.

Oooo, Oh, I may have subverted it! Ignore the WV thing, apparently. Even though I have to moderate older posts. That's fine.
Glad you got the WV thing fixed. Whatever that is.
Cat,
Word Verification/Captcha for comments. Meant to prevent spam, it just stops people commenting, even me on my own damn blog.
I just have to click that I'm not a robot....occasionally I get the 'click on every image that has a tree' or whatever, but not often. Nothing atall when I comment on my own.
gz,
It's never worked since the captcha was started, I've always had to hit the I'mnotarobot button on my own blog, and even had to do the pictures intermittently. Last night it just kept giving me new images, telling me to click more, until there were no more, and it still wouldn't let me on. I changed some settings to moderate and that seemed to mean the I'mnotarobot button could be ignored. Reported it as well. My tolerance for frustration last evening was minimal at best.
Having finally realised that it's always four billboards or trees or whatever , I don't mind it so much , but really life's too short for daft games .
ah, i was thinking that maybe it was my sight that was failing the repetitive captcha snapshots. glad to see it's technical externally, not internally. couldn't really face another thing going wrong, since i'm seemingly slowly losing both sight and hearing. phew!
It's been very handy here - it rains only at night.
