Die, Spam
This is not a major post. It’s a minor post. Due to website upgrades, my spam protection disappeared. Naked, I was inundated with sleazy messages about limp penises, opioid-crisis-level drugs, and loose women. I realize now that this has kept me off the blog, as if creeping near exposed me to cooties.
I’m glad to report protections have been put back in place and spam has dried up. Like a slithering, prehistoric, slimy creature that cannot live without swamp water, it gasps its last breath. I promise to be more loquacious.
peace in creativity, Ellen

Ewww. I’m glad you’re covered, Ellen :).

I upgraded the site, then wordpress upgraded the site, and I’m like, why am I getting 33 spam comments an HOUR? Goes to show you.

33 an hour? Slimy for sure. Welcome back!

Yes, at first I was like, hey! I got a comment! Then it was another and another and . . . .

Sorry you should have suffered that and glad it is in the past.

It’s not a pretty picture of man/womankind!

I just realised that my old email has appeared with my details. I have corrected this, but I had to add another comment to do it!

When I saw the post title I thought you had learned German. I’ve been reading Rilke and Gunter Grass in dual language publications and so this makes sense – kind of.
I look forward to more Ellen soon. Peace in creativity to you, too!

That is the funniest thing! And my goodness, I am impressed that you are tackling German in any form or fashion. Though Gunter Gras would be worth it.
