Our first post comes from user Scholarships for Moms. One thing worth noting is that virtually ALL of the spammers are trying to get you to visit their site and it usually has something to do with their screen name.

Anywho, this spam is in reference to this post<\/a> regarding grapes on plates and our grape carving contest<\/a>.<\/p>\n
