A minute ago, I went to do some lurking about. Got the “Could not connect to the server” message. Storm problems?

Today, it was our friendly internet hacker with a DDOS attack. Having intermittent issues. You can always call us if you'd like to place an order. If you could give the site a try tonight or tomorrow and email me if you're still having issues, it would be greatly appreciated! rocky@usakilts.com

Curses - and I had just made up my mind to take the plunge!
Rocky - you can take my items off my wish list and put them in my cart - I'm done "overthinking" my measurements

I've been in touch with Rocky via email; it would seem their server is again (or still?) under attack, so the software is taking a "better safe than sorry" approach and blocking any IP it suspects of being a hacker.
