Due to getting spam and a million (more like 200+) weird hits last night, anyone that wants to comment on my blog will now have to log in with a Google account.  Sorry.  I hate to do it, but I don't want any more trash connected with the blog.  You also will have do the word verifications.  You have no idea how MUCH I HATE THOSE, again, for security purposes it's a necessary evil. 
Thanks!
Melissa
