> 1 ounce green creme de menthe.
 
Back in the 1970's, at a party, I downed a 2 ounce shot
of plain green creme de menthe. That was an experience.
Didn't need to use mouthwash for a month afterwards. ;)

LOL. Only YOU can get away with saying that here, Steve,
without much critisizm. Everyone is afraid to take you on.
 
The rare times I want whipped cream I usually use the same
generic cool whip science project too. It works well for
me and doesn't dissolve so quickly. The ingredient list
doesn't scare me and makes it taste good.
 
I do have vanilla ice cream on my grocery list for tomorrow.

If the weird, metallic taste and persistent film in the mouth don't
bother him, it's fine with me.

Sounds (and looks good). I've got everything here except
the chocolate and cocoa powder. I do love the fudge like
brownies but never made my own.
 
In the past just a Duncan Hines brownie mix.

Nothing to see here, move along. Even Gary doesn't open his
windows
when it's 94f and no wind.

Casual nerds will note that this number is exactly 2^12 + a cool
$100. That's not coincidence.

And you could have bought a Tesla and paid THAT off by not wrecking
your piece of shit 8 year-old Nissan Leaf so often. So I'm not sure
I see your logic here.
 
But I beleive that YOU believe it makes sense to you. Now put the

John, did you even look at your insurance policy?
 
Even libility insurance policies offer an "uninsured motorist
fee" for very few dollars extra ($6-$10) every 6 months.
That would cover your accident and pay for it, less a
deductible.
 
"Uninsured motorist coverage protects you and your property
after an accident when the at-fault driver does not have
insurance." It covers hit and run drivers too.
 
I had a hit and run driver smash into the back of my van once
while it was parked at night. It was covered.

Remember my old Volvo story? It was a few years old and I paid
only $1500 on a Friday. I called up immediately and only got
liability insurance coverage.
 
Later that evening I found out it had a book value of $6500.
So we didn't drive it that weekend until I could add the
comprehensive when the insurance company was open again.
 
On Monday, I called and added comprehensive.
On Tuesday, my daughter rear-ended a car and totaled
our Volvo. sigh
 
Because of that suspicious timing, it took a month to
resolve but finally they called and said they have a
check for me for $6400. 6500 minus the 100 deductible.
 
I made a profit of $4900 in only 4 days between buying
the car and it being totaled. Also insurance company
(Nationwide) had a "First time forgiveness" policy so
my car insurance price never went up.

Several years ago, I saw a car in my parking lot and it looked
like someone had beaten it all to hell with a ball-peen
hammer. WTF?
 
Then someone explained to me that this happens occasionally
in the midwest during a bad hail storm. LARGE hail.
 
Told that they are totaled and sold cheap. Mechanics are
fine, just a beaten to death body.

I saw the original picture but sadly didn't save it. I saw only
body damage. The wheel looked fine. I even mentioned that when
I posted about it.

Oh dear, that makes me obsessive, not casual. I'm pretty casual, but
not when it comes to my obsessions.
 
 
More relevant is that the number probably matches some kid's orthodontic
bill.

In the USA, even poor people with no insurance or money can go
into a hospital emergency room. No one is refused and they
even expect that they might not get paid.
 
However, that's for the initial problem. If you require future
surgeries for better repairs, then you're out of luck.
 
An EMT told me once that if I ever have to go to an
emergency room, call a (free here) ambulance and let them take
you there. The ambulance people get right in for care. If
you drive yourself there, you might sit and wait for hours
unless it's a life threatening emergency.

I'm not sure what all that precursor is that you mentioned, but your
website source code is still available in multiple instances at:

BTW, whoever laid that bullshit on you is full of shit and is
victim-blaming. There's absolutely NOTHING YOU can do to your
website that compromises THEIR servers - even if you give away all
your passwords, billing data, DNA, fingernail clippings, etc....
 
If somebody "broke in" through your website, that's that's on THEM
- not you. And you should get a refund for lost hosting services.
 
I see that GoDaddy is hosting your nameservice ... and <clickety
click> your site contents too. They need to restore from backups.
This is not your fault . And you're paid up for another 5 weeks of
nameservice (and probably hosting as well).
 
In the meantime your backups are on the link I previously provided
(and probably on your own PC as well)

On re-reading and doing some more checking, I don't think you were
hacked at all. GoDaddy disabled the server software that served your
legacy website that you've had for 11 years.
 
Have they asked you for any money to upgrade?
 
It's still possible that some kiddie did break into your site and
fucked it just for kicks, but its not likely that GoDaddy would
coincidently tell you your site is unrecoverable citing some
"template" problem unless they disabled some compatibility with
serving your ancient pages - and right before your renewal date.
 
I don't do web programming, only sever software. But could some kind
soul look at her source at archive.org and see what has been
possibly obsoleted at GogDaddy.com? Cindy maybe?
 
Oh Wait - I'd bet my left testicle that Cathy of
http://www.recfoodcooking.org/ could host your minimal site as a
SUB-URL of that domain - which would be perfect!. You might even be
able to piggyback hizzhoners.com nameservice to keep your domain
name cheaply. She has plenty of space and bandwidth she probably
doesn't use. This is your best bet. Email her!

For your information, Jill, dicamillobakery.com is NOT a spam site. It is a legit site in upstate NY, where I used to live. You can not find any kimmelwick (or kummelwick) rolls in Washington State where I now live. Don't accuse people of sending spam until you have good cause for doing so.
