But I am kind of serious about it. So that last 3 months or so, I purchased a green bag from one of the malls/supermarkets where we usually buy our groceries. But holy goodness, I always, always forget it when we go out. So the plastic bags that we were trying to cut down on kept mounting.
Hanging it at the back of the door was my genius solution. I'm hoping this time, I'd only forget about it half the time. Because I'm certain I'm never gonna make it ALL the time.
What's your green move lately?
That is what's in the Features.
Trivia section is this:
taterip
preatio
ampaca
gicanced
Have you noticed those weird words during word verification in blogger, or whereever? I wondered if they meant anything because some of them are serious cases of misspellings. Eyesores, right? (Which I'm guilty of sometimes.Hands up.)
Then I was introduced to Captcha.
Introducer: Meet Captcha. Completely Automated Turing Test To Tell Computers and Humans Apart.
Me: ... (blank, ignorant face but anticipative)
Introducer: In very simple words, it's a test that computer programs cannot pass. It's for humans. The purpose is to prevent undesirable stuff over the internet such as spam, worms and bots.
Me: .. (digesting the last four words..)
Introducer: It's a plain security measure, idiot!
Me: (Eyes opened wide. Then, embarrassed grin.)

Happy weekend wonderful people!

Oh never knew what "captcha" really means until now, though i know it's for security purposes.
Got to get that green bag too!
P.S.
I enjoyed feeding your fishes. I wish my readers could feed Maukie, my virtual cat, too.
Oh Mitch thanks!
The trivia made me really look stupid huh =) I knew they were for security too.. Oh no, I might lose a follower again!
Weird, but I do feed my fishes. And when I'm out, I make sure when I come back I feed them with more. And that's tons of clicks! lol
I didn't know Captcha was an acronym... hmmm... i learnt something mew today!!! and i feed your fish and you cat Mish... don't worry you guys.... :-)
PS: I love Nature too.. Sister hugs.... i use the bags too only here hey come in different colors
Wow, I didn't know Captcha was an acronym either!
I REALLY need to invest in some green bags.....I definitely have plastic bags up the wazoo. Really annoying. Good for you!
I knew it was called Captcha but I never knew it was an acronym. Haha! Go green bag. I should start going green as well.
CAPTCHA word: enhanism
WTF??
We have to drive to get to the supermarket, so we try to keep our shopping bags in the car. Problem? Every time we do the shopping, we (wait for it...) use the bags to carry the stuff down to the house. And then forget to put the bags back in the car. It happens so often, it's not even funny!
Hi! GOod to hear from you!
What I've had to do is put all my green bags in my car, and 2 in my purse.
that way, I ALWAYS have them. And they fold up small enough.
I think your idea is great, though!
Thanks for visiting, I'm glad you're enjoying my blog as much as I'm enjoying yours..
So someone's comment on here made me go see what this feeding fishies is all about and I must say, my little pea-sized brain was happily occupied for like five minutes. I never knew just clicking a mouse could be so entertaining. Lol.
Ratz - ..sister hugs for nature lovers here!
Becca- Yes, one small step is big enough right? I hope I'd stick to it hehe
Gnetch - Or CORORFUL haha!
Rachel - We should really try harder, shouldn't we? These bags are giving us a hard time haha!
The Empress - I'd have to buy more green bags and stop being rotten stingy. I've thought of that but chose not to buy more bags. I think I should reconsider if I'd really want to be an earth lover..haha! Thanks Empress!
Lilly- Thanks for feeding my fishes! Nice to see you here.. =)
haha! loved the trivia. i didn't know about the captcha thing and i'm so ashamed to admit, to think i'm a programmer, awwww.... there's still so many things to learn in this world.
haha! funny post! good idea hanging the bag behind the door by the way :D
Haha:) They're not supposed to mean anything, I think!

Well I learned something new today! I had never even heard of the term 'captcha'. Clever.
I have been better about using re-usable bags. I bought a couple from the market I go to and try to always have them in the trunk of my car so I can use them when I go grocery shopping after a run. I am getting at using them in the summer because I usually shop more often and buy less. During the blustery winter, I stock up and try to go to the grocery store as little as possible so I don't have to go out in the cold!
You know, I keep forgetting my "green" bag too. Maybe this is something to think about...
nyahahah... good one.. this comment showed .... reftsi as captcha... cool!
