All the more interesting when one of the most prominent members of the community is an Orthodox Jewish synagogue. Shalom, y’all.

Bootsie Lucas writes: While on our daily walk around our intown Atlanta neighborhood, my husband and I spied a hole about the size of a bathtub in the front yard of some apartments on North Highland Avenue. “Whatcha making there?” we asked a man working in the yard. “Well, ya know, we thought maybe we needed an outdoor toilet…,” he replied.

And one from me: Delta flight attendant inviting another to join a club for flight attendants in Glynn County, Ga., where the county seat is Brunswick: “We call ourselves the Brunswick Stews.”

What is CAPTCHA and why do I have to enter it to post a comment?

Quick answer: Look at the picture (below) that contains letters. Type those letters in the CAPTCHA Code box.

Longer explanation: Our comment system now requires a CAPTCHA test (an acronym for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart" for all comments (unless you have registered and are logged-in). CAPTCHA is an image of letters that is dynamically generated (click the speaker icon to hear it or the arrows to load another test that may be easier to read). The letters, because they're part of an image and not text (e.g. text that you could cut and paste), are difficult for a spambot or other computer program to read. Yet, a person has little trouble reading the letters in a captcha image and then typing them into the form. Using a captcha test on our website is a great way to ensure, for instance, that a person and not a spambot is filling out a web form (we used to get 100 or so spam comments every day which our volunteers had to wade through). Also, a captcha can make it difficult for a person to continuously resubmit form information and overwhelm our comment function. If you hate CAPTCHA, just register on LikeTheDew.com and login (registration is on the bottom left of our home page) and you won't be stopped by CAPTCHA.
