Something strange has been

going on...

and it is only getting worse.

First,

if you recall,

I confessed my dire

need for reading glasses,

a part of aging I gallantly

fought against kicking and screaming the whole way.

You can catch up on that

post at http://chillinwithjill.blogspot.com/2011/01/for-shape-im-in.html
here.
Hmmm...I know that shouldn't look like that
but I can't figure out how to make
it all nice and pretty.  So sorry!

Anyway, I digress.
Of late,
it seems that a lot of the items
I purchase have a code on them.
It is a quick and easy (?)
way for the manufactures
to get you to their websites
in hopes of  winning something,
or better yet,
getting something for free.

Even with my glasses on,
I have a hard time
discerning those computer generated
letters and numbers.
I recently collected 20 codes
from one company to obtain a "free"
lunch bag that my dear daughter just had to have.
By the time I got them correctly entered,
 those 20 codes calculated to about
1, 582,679 digits.
Now I just have to wait
for 6-8 weeks for a lunch
bag that I could probably have purchased at
Walmart for a mere $2.99.
It sure would have been quicker.
But Hey!  I get it for "FREE!"

On to my second
issue with digits
and no, I am not talking
about some guys cell phone number.
I'm talking about all of the
verifications one must
complete to post things on certain
computer sites.

It's bad enough that
most of them are made up
"words."
I get it.
It's a safety thing.
But then they have
to add all of these
swirly, twirly
fonts in there so I can't
even make out the
pretend "word."
I can assure you,
for every one I enter correctly,
there are at least 531
that I enter incorrectly.

Maybe it's just me.
But if any of you can
enter the following code in correctly
within 10 seconds,
you'll win a fabulous prize
on me.
Ready?
Set?
Go!
