AGMA is postponing writing my extremely clever post for yet another week. To be honest, I’ve forgotten what I was going to write about.
I do remember a Shakespearean quote was involved. And that always elevates whatever you’re going to write about doesn’t it?
More on this topic – whatever it was – later…
Have you browsed your SPAM folder in your WP Comments sections lately?
It’s something I rarely do. But I did this morning. And honestly, I read through mine and am mystified as to why WP considers them SPAM.
The bulk of the ‘alleged’ SPAM comments were on my No Close Ups! post from waaaaayyyy back in early 2014, three months after I started AGMA.
I peaked early in my blogging career; this was the post that earned me my 15 minutes of fame on WP.
This was my post that was selected to be (and I am getting goosebumps as I write this…) Freshly Pressed.
Why shouldn’t people adore it?
Online Fortune Reading gushes:
“Thanks for sharing your extraordinary and amazing ideas. I will not be hesitant to share your website to any individual who should be given ideas such as these.”
Nor should you be hesitate OFR! The world desperately needs this information about light bulbs.
From Daily Tarot Card Reading Online:
“Amazing article, I’m going to invest more time researching this topic.”
One word. Google. 5 minutes max and you’ll learn all you ever wanted to know about sources of flattering and unflattering artificial lighting.
Daily Tarot Card Reading Online NEW AGE (not to be confused with Daily Tarot Card Reading Online. Please) said:
“Loving the info on this web site, you have done an awesome job on the blogs.”
Okay, well, it’s not really a web site and there is only one blog, but AGMA so appreciates the thoughts DTCRONA!
Here’s one from Sign On Aol (which AGMA finds this a bit ironic since they have a gmail email address…):
“To be in a position to acknowledge your own image as an icon, you will certainly probably need to click the option All of the Companion Symbols simply because the choice that icons to simply accept.”
???????
Nellie doesn’t go the flattery route. She’s got something to say and she just lays it all out there:
“Buy now $49 easy spy cellular phone spy $49.”
AGMA’s intrigued. I always wanted to be a spy. I loved watching James Bond movies as a child. The REAL James Bond movies with Sean Connery that is.
Don’t judge me.
Changing gears, this was on my About page. It comes from Cheap NFL Jerseys (oxymoron perhaps?):
“We strategy income unique today.”Former Yankee War Pilot Jerry Coleman Dies At 89 – RealGM WiretapCommissioner Bud Selig issued the following statement regarding the passing of 2005 Ford C. LaVar Arrington broke his arm and leg in a motorcycle accident. There were more than 50 Californians in the field, and Thomas went to elaborate lengths to update each player’s card, hole by hole, on the Web. It’s a truism in the golf industry.”
CNFLJ probably had a set of those helicopter parents who forced him to do tennis, football, soccer, baseball and golf. All at the same time. And yelled at the coaches when they didn’t play him. The confusion is understandable.
But I think my favorite is from Latia on No Close Ups:
“insert your data”
For some reason, AGMA finds that very profound and thought provoking. I’ll be using that as a mantra during my morning mediations for the next week.
I plan on visiting the SPAM area more often for more uplifting comments.
AGMA loves feelin’ the love.
Even if it’s from folks mixing their pharmaceuticals together and downing them with a fifth of whiskey.
Hey, love is love.
I’ve found great opportunities in my spam folder. Right now I am waiting for that fifteen million dollar check from the Nigerian prince to arrive.

Dumb question time. Where do I find my spam folder in WordPress? I think they’re hiding it from me!

Go to WP admin (on the left side menu) and click on comments. It should show you approved, pending & spam comments. I think…

Hmm. Thanks. I primarily use WordPress on my iPhone and I don’t see “admin,” so I might have to fire up the trusty old computer and see if I can find it there.

Fun light blog, and I enjoy the conversation style, light, and dry. Right now in my neck of the woods this is a nice distraction from the 220 forest fires burning in my province, and the smoke in the air etc. Humor helps in all situations as I found when hospitalized for five months, not only did it help me but it helped the nurses and doctors through their day.
