This week my blog just got slammed with Spam Comments. You guys didn’t see it. Probably because I don’t update nearly enough to warrant anyone stopping by on what might seem a regular basis, but because Wordpress prompts me to moderate comments if they meet certain critieria…. the word poker in a link for instance…. or the word viagra and phentermine - I keep on getting them. So I read somewhere that Wordpress 1.3 (an alpha, pre-release) has an option to turn off comments on posts older than a certain date. So I go and update. And forgetting how wordpress does it’s templating…. over wrote my stylesheet. So my page looked a little odd. I think they also fixed the XMLRPC because now Del.icio.us is able to post to my page now, I had tested that in the past, but forgot about it cause it didn’t work. So after not being able to find the section to turn off comments, I posted to the support pages, and someone suggested to try this script. It worked. So posts over 21 days old are automatically closed. So for those who want to comment when I’ve slacked off posting, can only do it for 21 days.

Somewhere along the line, this was attempted to be posted to my blog. I don’t think I wrote it. It could’ve been a comment someone tried to write, or if someone registered on my page and tried to write a post…. not too sure…. if it was you. Fess up.

christians don’t have to sing about God. just like christian donut makers don’t have to spell wwjd with the sprinkles on the donut. but the christian donut maker needs to make excellent donuts for His Name’s sake. and i think that’s what zao is trying to do.

Also, been flooded with comment spam. Think I might have a handle on it now… thanks to Kitten’s Spam Words 2.1.1

Lebanon fire Friday leaves 2 families homeless
Lebanon fire investigators are looking for the cause of an early morning fire that left two families homeless and injured a firefighter and a resident.

The fire started just after 1 a.m. Friday at the rear of a duplex at 443-445 E. Main St, Lebanon Fire Capt. Krista Wyatt said.

My mom called me at work a few minutes ago to share that with me. That’s the house next door to my parents house. The $1000 damage, my parents house. She says they’re alright and that their house is damaged a bit. The house has been in general dis-repair for a while, and has housed lower income families of 13 or 14 people, or so it seems. I wish I were there for my family, but they’ll be alright. Hopefully they demolish the house. I doubt there’s room to build a new house if they do. It will be beneficial for the neighborhood if they don’t rebuild.

Say a prayer for the displaced families if you think about it….

…it hit me hard. I’ve been meanign to write about it since I found out. Trying to find the words to express my gratitude, my miracle, one that Christopher didn’t get the same way I did. But we both had miracles all the same. It was May of 1995 that Superman fell off a horse and broke his back. It was August of that same year that I fell out of a tree and broke mine. I spent 28 days in the hospital… several surgeries, only one of which to reconstruct the broken vertebrae. I spent 6 months in a half-body brace… a clam shell type device that had been created from a mold of my torso taken the day after the reconstruction. I had a gaping open wound that refused to heal the normal way of being stitched up and healing from the outside in. It kept getting infected, so they left it open. Several times a day I’d have to roll over and have someone, usually my dad, repack the wound. I had never broken a bone in my body until that day. I was 17.

Christopher’s miracle was a bit different than mine. He lived, paralyzed and in a wheelchair….it wasn’t until 2000 that he was able to move anything but his face, when he moved his finger. A freaking finger. He vowed that he would be able to walk again.

Superman taught me that it was truely miraculous to be living, walking, talking. Superman taught me hope and faith, not only in God, but in medicine and science. Superman taught me endurance.

RIP Christopher Reeve

I posted a gallery of pictures from Amy’s baby shower… I generated it using Kalbum, which is a program built into SUSE 9.1- Here it is.
