Good grief!!! The blog has been spammed so much in the last four or five days. Thankfully, WP catches all of it and simply sends me a notice that it caught and deleted it, but man. Do online casinos, pharmacies, and the like really garner any sales from spam?
In any case, this problem has made it necessary for me to install a variety of plug-ins to ward off evil-doers. To give you an idea of the extent of the problem, I was spammed 14 times before noon today, up from 5 times yesterday and 7 times the day before that. In the last week, not one day has gone by without spambots hitting the blog.
WTF? Why my blog? 
On a more Christmas-y note, my entire downstairs looks like Santa threw up everywhere. Hubby pulled out all the decorations over the weekend and I delegated tree decorating to my five year old son while I finish up the WORD Challenge. I was prepared for whatever the outcome was. To my amazement, he did a fabulous, Rockefeller Center worthy tree! 
It’s beautiful. He’s got the ornaments spaced out perfectly and varied the placement of similar ornaments. What a great job!!! Now I just have to clean up the boxes and hooks and the like and shove them back into the gargage until Jan. 2nd. *sigh*
But first… the last seven pages of my edits.
Fingers crossed that I have effectively squashed the spammers. 
I’ve had the same problem since thanksgiving
unfortunately I can’t seem to get my spam blockers to work like they should…..will fix later
