So, Blogger is eating all of the comments on my older posts. I'm not sure what the problem is, exactly, or if my comments can be rescued, only that the issue is spreading ever-so-rapidly. Some posts are losing every single comment -some post are losing about half. Popular posts like Should Young Women Go to College are down to about four out of about sixty. It's a wee bit frustrating, as several posts (that one, Home Girl and Family Dynamics and the Adult Daughter, all ones that bit the dust) were just sent to a potential publisher who was interested in what kind of feedback what I'm already writing receives (when he pulls up the posts, his answer will be 0), but, alas... our Lord is sovereign. The articles are the most important thing (she says, struggling hard not to let the Type A aspects of her personality interfere with the laid-backness she's struggling to exemplify). As the comment carnage spreads, if your comment on a recent post gets hacked down in the madness or if your comment on a recent post doesn't show up in a couple of days, I apologize in advance.
In other, random, better news, I spent the whole day at the rodeo yesterday with friends-who-are-basically-family and had a blast --I even found some of my beloved fried pickles (favorite fair food, hands down). Cowboy hats, boots, ginormous belt buckles, fried everything, country music blaring, a cow pageant, seven kids six and under in tow who stop and jam to whatever beat's on the speakers, a best friend who was ready and willing to belt out the lyrics to random songs when nobody else was milling around at the carnival, a radio station that kept playing all the right songs... sometimes it's just too fun being a Texan.
Now, off to find some of my techie friends to help technologically illiterate me...

If you go to your Blogger Dashboard >> Settings >> Basic and click "Export Blog", you can backup all your posts and comments.
Then, even if all the comments get deleted, you can simply re-import them.
Hope this helps!
Jasmine, you know what go with rodeos, don't you........COUNTRY MUSIC =) LOL
Did you know that where I live in Idaho is considered the "fried pickle capital of the world?" At least, that's what they say---only ask people around here and they'd go "huh?"
Oh, and I think I asked this, but you'll be in Akron, Ohio, with your dad this June?
Some older comments can still be seen (for now) on Google's cache, e.g. here, and here.
You can find the cache by searching for a distinctive phrase on Google from the post.
It seems that other people have had this problem, so there may be a way to get the comments back.
Oh nooooo! I hope you can fix it soon!!! :)
On the other hand, it sounds like you had a good time at the rodeo!

Unfortunately, I'm no help at all with your techno problems, but it appears from the comments that you have more than a few brains reading your blog!
A publisher? Ooooh...tingles of excitement...(-:
I can't quite convince myself about those fried pickles, though!
Jasmine,
Sorry to hear you are having this problem. :( I am having a problem with one of my blogs too, but it is different.
I found this blog yesterday, maybe it will help...I haven't been able to look around it much yet.

Can't help with the comments problem, but hope it gets fixed.
A Publisher sounds very exciting...can you tell us more?????
Rodeo sounds like fun. Thanks for the lovely posts!

Oh dear! Well, I shall be praying that this gets fixed. The comments are...half of a blog! Well, God IS sovereign and that means there is a purpose in this.
Rodeo sounds fun! I am glad you had a good time. And yes, I love pickles, but fried? It is going to take some convincing :)
Soli Deo Gloria,
Jenn
I hope you get everything fixed soon, Jasmine!
I'm looking forward to your post on Monday. Our Daddy had each of my siblings and I fill out a list and share it with our family of "where we would be in 5 to 10 years".
Blessings,
Shiloh
