Update

We appear to have lost the entire comment database and the ability to comment period.

I have a hunch we may lose the whole site at some point.

I am not in a place where I can diagnose the cause or attempt a fix.

Prayers for us would be good…

Send up a prayer of thanks as well…today is Sarahs birthday and she truly has been a gift from God to me and this ministry.

God is sovereign.

PS…hacking the site has never stopped me.

Never will.

Period.

I'll be back.

    And lo and behold, Michael was right. The site is back. Huh…..is he psychic or something?

    Nope, just surrounded by people of God that believe in his ministry and love him.

    Take that. :D

    Isn’t smoking a sin against one’s own body? I pray that the Lord frees you from this horrible addiction.

    I don’t know, MLD, but I have a feeling snap judgments with limited information might not exactly be a virtue.

    MLD,

    If you repent first it’s half the calories. ;)

    Double-double with cheese, animal-style, Mmmmmmmmmm…

    I don’t know what you guys are trippin’ about. I’ve never gained weight from eating one of those (don’t ask me about my blood pressure and cholesterol though).

  28. 28 LinneaNo Gravatar

    At least this isn’t the FAA site…someone hacked that and stole 75,000 employees’ personal information, including social security numbers. Ai yai yi!

    correction: 45,000 employees and retirees lost their identity information.

    Animal style…yuck. The very 1st In’n'Out I ever had was on the recommendation from someone to get a double-double animal style. He didn’t tell me what it was, so I took him at his word. What I got was a burger drowned in sauce & with mounds of pickles.

    I *hate* pickles.

    Really hate ‘em.

    At it’s most basic level, a pickle ain’t nothing but a preserved, rotten, cucumber. And my burger was smothered in them.

    I waited 2 years for my 2nd In ‘n Out. :) But that one was a good burger.

    Am I able to still change the theme back to wordpress default?

  37. 37 sarahNo Gravatar

    Scott…I think MacGyver put the site back together, so I’d be careful. It’s all ducktape and hairpins. ;)

    BBQ without pickles isn’t a real BBQ! :smile:

  39. 39 sarahNo Gravatar

    I’m kidding really…. hehe….. it’s my birthday so I’m allowed to be goofy!

  40. 40 sarahNo Gravatar

    Don’t falter, Tim…stand strong. I’m with ya on this one.

    You guys only have to put up with me like this for ten more hours…or twelve more if I go by pacific time!

  41. 41 TimNo Gravatar

    Bob - :shock:
    You have GOT to be kidding me! Either that, or you’ve got some Texan blood in you that you haven’t mentioned before. :) BBQ restaurants always offer pickle & onions with brisket here.

    As for me, there’s no quicker way to waste the 12-14 hours it took to barbecue that brisket than to put that nasty, vinegar-dripping, smelly, former vegetable near it. (That was for you, Tony.) :)

    Gourmet Salsa for Tim ;o)

    2 Dill pickles, diced
    1 fresh cucumber, diced

    1 mango sliced and diced into small cubes
    1/2 small pickled jalapeƱo, finely minced (optional) more if you like.

    Serve with Tuna salad, grilled chicken or vegetables.

    Kat,
    Are you trying to kill me? :)

    Interestingly enough, my wife is a pickle-lover. She’s the type of person who buys the mondo pickle-in-a-bag at the movie theater, and orders fried pickles at state fairs. (Which just goes to show opposites, do indeed attract!)

    She tried to get me to eat pickles for months after we got married. The last time I gave into her & ate a dill pickle, I turned about as green as the vile stuff I was eating. She promised NEVER to ask me to eat a pickle again! :)

    Tim,

    As she should! You are unworthy of their tarty goodness! Heathen!

    No Tim, I adore ya, bruddah! Just thought ya might could get a kick outta this. BTW, it was originally created by an online friend from the bay area who is a gourmet chef by profession. Your wife might like it!

    Pass me the pickles you don’t want and I hope they’re Vlassics…..don’t much like the kind from the store shelves myself…taste more like they fell into embalming fluid….shudder!

    I must amend my support of said pickles.

    Dill pickles are good for body, mind, and spirit

    Sweet are NOT! They should be condemned as heretical and evil! ;)

    This might belong on the other thread, but it sounds like you’ve got something in common with these guys:

    ————
    I was walking across a bridge one day and I saw a man standing on a ledge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said, “Stop! Don’t do it!”

    “Why shouldn’t I?” he asked.

    “Well, there’s so much to live for.” “Like what?”

    “Well, are you religious?” He said yes. I said, “Me too!”

    “Are you Christian or Buddhist?” “Christian.” “Me too!”

    “Are you Catholic or Protestant?” “Protestant.” “Me too!”

    “Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?” “Baptist.” “Wow, me too!

    “Are you Baptist Church of God or are you Reformed Baptist Church of God?” “Reformed Baptist Church of God.” “Hey,me too!”

    “Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1789 or Reformed Baptist Church of God, 1915?”

    He said, “Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1915.”

    I said, “Die, heretic scum!!” And pushed him off the bridge.
