Commenting Gets Me Riled Up

 I frequently comment on others blogs which does take extra time to do as you know.  That is why I make it as easy as possible to comment on my blogs.

First off, I find the capcha word sign in very annoying.  Often it is difficult to even make out the words and I feel as though maybe I am a robot after all.  Then it used to be only one word and now it is two!  Being the persistent person I am and wanting to really leave a comment, I put up with it and haven't said a thing about it until now.

Secondly, I find the Disqus comment thing annoying.  It sometimes takes awhile for it to set to let me type in my comment and sometimes, if I'm in a rush like before work, I won't bother.  However, usually, I will put up with this too.

Finally, to my great disappointment, I am finding Wordpress blogs that require a "sign in" to comment using my Twitter or Facebook accounts.  Can we make commenting any harder?  Do these people really want comments.  I'm thinking that they get too many and want to weed some out.  I think this may be the case over at Should Be Reading where I participate in a weekly Tuesday Teaser.  Every week there are around 300 comments with people leaving their links to their teasers but this week there were 180.  When I went to leave mine this week, I was disappointed to find I couldn't.  I even jumped through the hoops and tried signing in using my Twitter account and it STILL did not work!  I am so frustrated by this!  Frankly, I don't want third parties having access to either of these accounts. 

Please, I beg you, if you are a blogger, make it easy to comment if you want comments!   Here is the comment I tried to leave about my Tuesday Teaser that I couldn't:
We have a historical fiction and a Christian fiction book this week:  http://www.ourstack.blogspot.com/2012/03/tuesday-teasers-crown-and-deceit.html

11 Medical Madness Hassles


1) Having to wait an hour or more to see the doctor after rushing to make the appointment on time. I had time to finish out my tennis match after all!

2) Taking off work to take my dad for blood work as scheduled and finding the lab closed.

3) Going for blood work and having to wait an hour to be taken because both technicians are out to lunch.

4) After waiting for almost two hours, being notified that the doctor just called and can’t make it because her car broke down!

5) Going to see your doctor about your test results which the doctor hasn’t even seen because they didn’t get them yet so I called for the hospital to fax them to him.

6) Taking off work early to go for the last Hepatitis shot in a series only to be told they ran out of medicine.

7) Going for a follow-up Ultrasound only to find that I can’t get it done because they didn’t receive an order from the doctor and he’s gone for the day. Have to reschedule!

8) Getting a call from your doctor telling you he needs to see you right away. Now that’s scary!

9) Calling for test results only to find out they haven’t come back yet.

10) Being charged for something that should be covered by your insurance because the doctor’s office put down the wrong code.

11) When your prescription runs out when the doctor is on vacation.
