Please! keep the dramaqueen out. I am not even sure I understand your problem - the technical one, I dont give a fuck about how long you mined, your "status" or what you need your coins for - and frankly, I dont care to read through the wall of drama to figure out. The last few posts derailed this thread and if you need further help with bitcoin core I suggest you start a thread in the tech support section and keep it technical.

You are right. I just cracked up because I saw stuff getting lost. Sorry 'bout the drama.

Problem is: after downloading and importing bootstrap.dat and then conncting to the fast nodes, my database crashed a few times because I failed to see the problem was the canned version of bitcoind I used. After I compiled bitcoind and bitcoin-qt from source myself the problem seemed to be over. But now I am stuck again because the fast nodes seemed to have locked out my IP for pulling too much data, or because of a "misbehaving" node status because I pulled the same blocks a few times. I don't know. The only thing I do know is that I am stuck again on a frustratingly slow bitcoin network. Then of course I thought that perhaps "misbehaving" node IP's were propagated over the network leaving my IP address essentially stranded for ever. Like I said, I don't know. But blocks are not loading.

Perhaps you shouldn't be running a bitcoin node or any kind of large database software on your computer. I suggest you switch to a light weight client such as Electrum. There are ways to get your bitcoins into a new wallet based on a light weight client that won't require synchronizing the block chain.
