Just to add, which is odd, but this seems to happen each time now... Once the issue starts, then it gets worse, then it worsens until the SQL server hangs and I get the error. Often, after that, it miraculously starts working for awhile again, and flawlessly, until it starts again. But through it all, nothing else is affected. And what I mean by that is every automated email I get is in reference to recent_thanks, and nothing else ever hangs up when clicked on.
