Warning: Long post alert! A week or so ago Ron and I took a hike at Silver Falls State Park . Warm summer afternoons will find hundreds of people hiking at the park. It's a constant battle of passing slow hikers...usually in groups, and bumping past oncoming hikers. Not exactly a peaceful forest experience. Take a hike on a cool, wet afternoon, and you'll find far fewer hikers. The hike is called the Trail of Ten Falls . On this day we will visit 6 of the 10 falls, and be treated to a number of unofficial falls running off the slopes of the canyon. South Falls is probably the most visited of all the falls. It's close to the day use area, and can be viewed without hiking down the canyon. The trail goes behind the falls, but we opt to take the foot bridge for the better view. An aside, my co-worker claims to have repelled over South Falls (and came up short on rope). South Falls, 177 ft. Canyon Trail Off we go down the trail and to a series of stairs taking ...
Kari,
ReplyDeleteI can't help you but just wanted to sympathise as I get them from 3 blogsites too. In fact, I've unsubscribed from a South African site because I got so many. The other 2 aren't so frequent but I might just mark them up as spam in my gmail account so they go to the spam bin or unsubscribe from those as well. You're certainly not alone!
Kari:
ReplyDeleteI have received a couple too, one from Powersports something or other, and also two or three requests to host that person as a guest blogger on my site.
we must be famous . . .

Since I run all of my email through Google these days, very little spam seems to get through. I did get the guest blogger messages a couple of times and still do get notifications from my do not track software from a couple of blog sites warning me that things have been blocked.
ReplyDeleteI like some of the others got a guest blogger message, but not much else. I have a completely different email for my "email me' link on my profile page than I use for my everyday emails. I check the Trobairitz email about once a week or so and deal with whatever might be in there. Not much lately.
ReplyDeleteI don't get any spam e-mails that actually make it through, but I have been getting so many e-mails generated by spammed comments on the blog that I had to turn off the e-mail notification. It was a huge PIA. Of course now, I don't get alerted when folks comment. Just have to remember to check in more often.
ReplyDeleteI get none ... I wonder if you are a member of, or following someone who is not a real someone but a spam generator? It must be annoying. My email provider seems to have a great spam filter and I get very few if any spam messages in my real account either.
ReplyDeleteI get those once in a while and as long as you don't click on their link you are fine. When I see the spam in my comments I just delete it. Then I set the word verification for awhile and moderate comments and that's about it. It's annoying, but I always know they are there because my email tells me when a comment comes in.
ReplyDeleteI hope this is what you are asking about!
Dear BlueKat:
ReplyDeleteI find the occasional comment left by a name that seems chummy enough, but then when I click on it, something I do rarely, I discover they are a tire or a gear wholesaler. I do get my share of alleged companies wanting to sponsor key words or something, leading back to a link, generally for a lawyer or an insurance company, or something. The want to give me a one-time payment of $50. I never let client/customer set the rates. I don't need $50 that badly.
Fondest regards,
Jack/reep

Thanks everyone.
ReplyDeleteSo far they're not too numerous, so I think I'll just keep deleting them for now. I hate to turn off notification, since it's hard to keep track otherwise.
...on the other hand maybe the one for Xanax might be helpful after all!
