Prove you are not a robot

I am attempting to publish all of my "Nancy's Notes" columns, which I write weekly for the Stockton Sentinel in Stockton, Kansas, and began writing in 2010 (a few in 2009). I started my Nancy's Notes blog earlier this summer with the intention of doing this:  getting past articles copied onto the blog so that I can then maintain the blog on a more timely basis.

Today, August 9, 2015, I have posted stories I wrote in 2010 and through 2011. I have probably posted almost 70 entries. My goal today was to get through 2011, which I have just finished posting. However, by now, the BLOGGER which I'm using is noticing that I have posted quite a lot of posts today, and with each click of the SAVE button, I am asked to prove I am not a robot. In addition to simply clicking in a bullet to confirm "I am not a robot," I have been asked to "Select all the pasta or noodles" in a group of pictures. I have been challenged to "Select all the food" in another group.

After sitting here for quite a few hours today,
       1) opening a new blog post;
       2) typing the title of the story;
       3) typing the date which the story published in the Stockton Sentinel, Stockton, Kansas;
       4) going to my my Word files on either my hard drive or a jump drive to find the next story;
       5) opening the next story;
       6) copying the story;
       7) going back to the blogger;
       8) pasting the story into the post;
       9) checking the post to make sure it looks ok; and finally
     10) saving and publishing to the blog,
by golly, I think I AM A ROBOT!!

As I saved this post the first time, I had to find "all the cakes." I wonder what would happen if I chose incorrectly, or didn't select them all!?!?! At this late time in the day, I do not want to find out.

Okay, Blogger.com, you win! I'm going to stop now and give myself (and you!) a rest before smoke starts billowing out of my computer!
